Police in Germany organized a soccer match to promote its anti-hooliganism stance, and in a million years you'll never guess how it ended.
A football match organised to promote non violence among fans in Germany ended in a mass punch-up. Five fans were arrested at the game which was staged in Aachen as part of a police campaign against hooliganism. The violence started when five young players attacked a heckler who was kicked and punched to the ground, and then other players and fans waded in.
Shocking, I know. But this is further proof that nothing spices up a boring peace protest like violence. I happen to prefer hippies getting beaten with nightsticks, but I guess a soccer brawl is okay, too. As long as some bottles were thrown. Tell me someone got hit with a bottle.


"Anti-Hooliganism Stance"? That's not even a real phrase / cause / issue / whatever. It's almost like the Germans are trying to be annoying at this point. As usual, they're doing a very good job.
And what was the fight about?
Whether or not anyone actually cares about soccer.
i was almost as shocked to read that as i was when i read that the guys that car bombed the glasgow airport were muslim.
if the words "terrorist whore" weren't uttered, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
Lemme get this straight: German hippies at a soccer game? This completely changes my ideas about what hell might look like.
I hear Frodo beat the crap out of some Limeys.
I prefer to beat hippies with a nightstick dipped in patchouli
"It hurts so bad…but it smells fantastic".
And somewhere in the distance, a Bengal gets arrested.
I'm pretty sure "Mass Punch-Up" is the name of Elijah Dukes debut porn.
I think there could be a better example of this story if we had an anti-mullet benefit in Pittsburgh.
Sadly, a similar thing happened at my kegger to promote date rape awareness.
@Burnsy: Damn, disturbingly funny. Thank you, sir, for making rape funny again.
Note to Self: Cancel tickets to German Anti-Rape rally…
Now, now…the Europeans are nuanced. We Americans are too simpliste to understand the finer points of non-violence through violence.
i will never understand how soccer fans in europe come off as such hardasses and fighters…..something tells me no hooligans would stand a chance against a drunk mob of Jets fans
They are elites. Think Waffen Hooligans
Note to self: Make trip to porno shop after work to buy a copy of "Mass Punch-Up."
Well, as long as everyone's in Germany, FREE HOT SHOWERS FOR EVERYBODY!!!
Too soon?
@ Sheedshair As a Jets season ticket holder I can honestly say that the Americans would be toast before kickoff.
