My uncle was a firefighter called to the Bradford city football fire. I wasn’t born at the time but he told so many horrific stories from that day. He quit and became a police officer after it scarred him that much
If my memory serves me right, I think my grandad was gunna go to that match. I know he was gunna go to a match that involved an incident but I cannot remember for the life of me remember which. When he was alive and asked why, he said "I thought about it alot and in the end I couldn`t be bothered." edit - I know there was a fire and think one time the stadium collasped?..
Remember that day very well, horrific. The last time I went to Valley Parade with my team Ipswich in October 2000 I laid a scarf at the memorial and stood for a minute in remembrance and reflection. RIP the 56.
@@XJIcequeen this was at a time when the fans was fenced in i said at the time if the stands was barricaded we would have been counting the survivors RIP 56 did not learn 3 years later Hillsboro RIP 97
I was at the Pistons game but on the other side of the arena. That was our big championship run season too, that's what makes it even more legendary, the fact that the Pistons fans did that and still lived to see the banner get raised that year!
Other incidents: 2022 Dutch Grand prix qualifying, fans throwing flares on track causing red flags. West Indies vs Australia in Cricket, fans rush the field before the end of the game. South Africa vs New Zealand in rugby, fan tackles the ref causing brawl.
@@quattrobajeena8623 The protesters didn't actually disrupt or ruin anything, so not really. The race was already red-flagged because of Zhou's terrible accident at T1.
I have a book about her and read about her injury. Now, I know what her attacker looked like! He obviously went to court. And I didn't know Monica Seeles speaks English. She was born in what is now Serbia, like me.
I have nothing but contempt for fans who think paying admission gives you the right to abuse performers either verbally or physically. It serves them right if they suffer for those actions.
Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Malice at the Palice 2. NFL Snowball Battle 3. State of origin's moment of no silence It seems the situations gets worse when more people get involved with them. However, no doubt Malice at the Palace was one of the worst things to see in sports history, it takes only one prick to set the arena into madness, if only he didn't throw that water bottle. The snowball battle had an interesting fight but also dangerous, leading to the refs to threat the crowd, which that's never happened before. And the no silence one was so uncalled for, it's almost as brutal as fans getting into fights. At this rate they're going to need more security than before.
It is known VERY well now what started the fire in Bradford. An Australian guy accidentally dropped a cigarette through the floorboards; he saw the fire start and tried in vain to put it out. It was an accident, but there was a lot of negligence by the club.
For those wondering what real harm could snowballs do at a football game other than annoyance...there is this little thing called putting ROCKS in snowballs...
Thanks for putting Ajax vs PSV on 2nd place on this list. I’ve watched this match on tv long time ago. It was really stupid that people threw a smoke bomb during a soccer match, especially since Ajax and PSV has a long history of hooligans.
*Soccer fans, or as it is known in my part of the world Fútbol fans are the most stupid people, most of them had no brain cells, so brute force isn't abnormal to them*
It seems a bit harsh to put the Bradford stadium thing at #15. As far as I'm aware, smoking wasn't prohibited in stadiums at the time so it was more of a safety issue that was always bound to happen until laws were changed and stadium safety was improved upon.
Agree. The Bradford Fire was, sadly, a disaster waiting to happen. Years of accumulated litter under a huge wooden stand. Loads of people smoked in those days and it was an accidentally-dropped match or cig which started the fire. I wouldn’t class it as anyone being a moron. I remember watching it happen on TV. BBC’s Grandstand had sent an outside broadcast unit to Valley Parade as Bradford had won Division 3 and were to be presented with their trophy. Sadly, a day that was supposed to be a celebration became a tragedy just before half time. RIP the 56.
The Ron Artest incident looked a lot like a scene from the movie slap shot when the Hanson Brothers go into the seating area and they start nailing people right and left
Bartman caught (hah!) such an unfair rap for that. If the ball had come down a foot to the left or right, then it would have been one of those other anonymous suckers who would have gotten all the death threats. The fact that his life was pretty much ruined over the whole thing is absolutely shameful. The real culprit was the Cubs themselves, who proceeded to fuck everything up that was possible to fuck up, and then fuck it all up again in game 7 Technically that game was ruined by morons, but the moron in question was not Steve Bartman. The 2003 Cubs were the morons.
@@xjdfghashzkj Absolutely. I'm ashamed to say I was among the Cubs fans who absolutely despised Steve Bartman for doing what pretty much anyone else in that seat would do. It wasn't until much later that I started to realize how out of line and unfair that was, and honestly, I hope Steve Bartman is doing well. The Cubs tried to offer him to throw out the first pitch during the 2016 World Series run, and I really don't blame him for turning it down.
Pretty cool that Association Football was included, but you might want to remember, that Dutch team is Pronounced “Eye-Axe” instead of the common “Ay-Jax”, other than that great to see my countries (England) beloved sport finally included
The noise that the crowd around me made at the SOO on Rememberance Day in 2020 was horrific. People around me refused to be quite, instead using that time to complain about players. I am appealed to have been apart of that moment
Cool adding Olympique de Marseille to the list but you trivialized what happened to Payet. It was the 3rd consecutive away game where our players were attacked/assaulted by “fans” (Montpellier-OM; Nice-OM; Lyon-OM) So it wasn’t: a bottle was thrown at him so they called off the match. He was specifically targeted every time he would try to kick a corner.
@@alpha34098 Actually he left Marseille to go to Westham when OM were in financial trouble and had to sell most/all of their top players. He came back after about a year and a half. However, in this case it’s really imbeciles having access to public events. I won’t call them fans, targeting Olympique de Marseille players for simply playing for a “rival” team. OM-Lyon is a rivalry, sure, as the top Olympiques of Ligue 1, and nothing more can be expected from Lyon fans, but the other times our players were attacked they had no reason (Marseille, Montpellier and Nice are neighboring cities)

Years later, it was found that the coaches of the other teams knew this had became my reputation, and had their players fake injuries and fouls. I've never played any sport since, besides for Ultimate Frisbee and Disc Golf. Referee's should be under just as strict Standards as the players, if not stricter!
You missed the 2011 CFB game featuring Arizona vs UCLA where a student dressed as a ref invaded the field and caused a huge fight with only seconds to go til halftime.
I remember hearing about the "Malice at the Palace" on the local news. It was all over the media at the time, especially here in Metro Detroit. And then it appeared on "Law and Order" some months later. When that happened I just facepalmed and thought, "Ooooohhh crap, here we go."
I never watched basketball. I was flicking through channels and I just happened to stop there. Seconds later the shove happened and you know the rest. It was electrifying to watch. 😅
PAOK-OLYMPIACOS GAME, was interupted by fans when Robert Mak sent off. The flares was in a game 2 years ago in 2014. So you have made a mistake😅. However, in greek games almost every year we have incidents like this, so you can be easily confused
Media would portray games and movies as promoting violence But sports events would portray stupidity in general at its finest. Violence, rudeness, no regard for safety, etc. Even internet trolls have standards.
One omission is Disco Demolition Night, which resulted in the second game of a White Sox double-header to be forfeited due to the riot than ensued between the games.
Dick Johnson, who was pretty much an independent racer at the time of the rock incident in 1980, received a lot of support afterwards, including financial. He came back the next year and won the crash-shortened Bathurst 1000 with co-driver John French. He would win it again in 1989 and 1994, both times with co-driver John Bowe.
Happened TWICE. 2000 German Grand Prix, by an entirely different person for entirely different reasons. Amusingly, both were won by Rubens Barrichello (and yes, he benefited from the chaos in both instances.)
6:21 this was the fault of fans because someone dropped a cigarette but it was mostly whoever built the stadium with very flammable materials including the roof
This is why I’m happy the Lightning signed Pierre. He’s the only goon with a soul. Everyone starts fighting, Bellemare (the guy who hit Orlov) is the ONLY one try to make sure no one falls on him and that he has space for the medics to come on the ice. CLASS. ACT.😤💯
I remember watching a Cubs game a few years back that's never shown on any lowlight reels, someone tried to distract the pitcher (I don't know if it was the Cubs pitcher or the opponent) by using a rapidly flashing red light during the pitch, something like you see when some cameras are about to take a picture. It happened at least twice before the person was escorted off.
I'm not sure the Bradford fire should be considered "ruined by morons". Smoking was commonplace (and permitted) at the time, it's likely that an uncleared buildup of debris under the stand was what was ignited, rather than the stand itself.
Agree. I really don’t think the Bradford Fire belongs in this compilation. There was a lot of other football around that same time (1985) that was ruined by morons, as hooliganism was rife in those days, but the Bradford Fire was caused by an accidentally-dropped match or cig.
may I add Kanjuruhan Football Incident? after the game, some jerks fans broke off and starting to rampaging there... and one of the police have no choice but to use a tear gas... the rampage between soccer fans and the polices resulting a lots of death...
I was at a Carolina Panther’s game where a group of protesters managed to smuggle in a huge banner and climbing ropes and harnesses past security. They took them to the top level of the stadium, unfurled the banner down in front of then owner Jerry Richardson’s suite, and repelled down on the ropes and harnesses. It was something alright.
Agree. Don’t think the Bradford Fire should be on this list. It was a dropped match or cig, an accident. It was a disaster waiting to happen, years of litter under a huge wooden stand. It wasn’t fans deliberately being idiots.
Putting the Bradford fire on the list is out of order smoking wasn't illegal at the time in the game and there was no rules banning wooden stands in the country either. Absolutely tragic accident and nobody in the stadium that day should be called a moron because of it
Well what ya call the moron that threw his cigarette in a cup didn’t burn the thing out yet just threw it ti the floor then huh cause that start the fire there
@@morgantaylor84 no. According to reporter John Helm and many other witnesses “[A] man over from Australia visiting his son got two tickets to the game. He lit a cigarette and when it was coming to an end he put it down on to the floorboard and tried to put his foot on it to put it out. It slipped through a hole in the floorboard.” So you’re wrong, the cigarette slipped down through the stand, it was not deliberately thrown under.
@@DougieDonuts457 We clearly have two different views on what the words "...under the stands..." mean. That being said I am wrong that it wasn't thrown to the place where it started the fire. It fell there.
No reason why the Bradford Fire was included. Unfortunate accident given smoking was allowed in the stand and a cigarette butt lit discarded papers under the seating
It would have been nice to have the 1971 European Cup football match between Mönchengladbach and Internazionale included, where a 7-1 win was taken away from the former team because of a can thrown at an Internazionale player.
Should still happen. We don't need to be drunk everywhere we go. When alcohol and sports are involved...bad things happen. Stupidity explodes out of people when they drink. It's fine to have one or two but you don't need to get drunk. Sad
What do you want to bet these “fans” throwing bottles, making death threats, etc. are the same ones who shriek, “Why don’t the athletes care about the fans!?” any time they don’t get some freebie? I wouldn’t care about and want to reward someone actively trying to injure and terrorize me either.
Not mentioned on this list. In the summer of 1990 . Roseanne Bar who at the time who was married to the comedian Tom Arnold. He threw out the first pitch. She sang a drunk national anthem song cause she was seriously neevouse. I was thier. I can still remember her singing 32 years later. The fans through beach bowls in the stand. It was the Padres stadium. Plus making it even more torture it a double header game.
Another dishonourable mention should go to a "friendly" match between Ireland and England in February 1995. After Ireland scored a goal 20 minutes, idiotic English fans started chanting "no surrender to the IRA," and then started hauling seats and other projectiles they could get their hands on, down from the upper stand (where much of the English fans were located) down to an area where mostly Irish fans were gathered. Pleas to end the madness fell upon deaf ears and the match ended up being abandoned. To make matters worse, English "fans" were pictured cheering about their stupid behaviour, for playing a big role in the game being abandoned
4:30 have you got any involving like the Baja 1000 I’ve heard and I’ve seen on videos in the past where some spectators, dig deep ditches or basically ramps so that when the race trucks come by they hit them and then they crash for their enjoyment
Denmark v Sweden Euro 2008 qualifying. The match was tied at 3-3 when a drunk Danish fan ran out on the pitch and hit the referee, which made the match be awarded as a 3-0 win to Sweden.
This may not qualify for a couple of reasons but; July 4, 2022 a protestor interfered with Joey Chestnut during the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Joey who had to get around using crutches due to ruptured tendon, continued to eat a hotdog while putting the protestor in a headlock and shoving him out of the way. Joey went on to consume 63 hotdogs and win the contest
Serbia vs Albania euro qualifying match. Someone flew a drone in the stadium bearing a flag which caused a brawl on the field. Ultimately caused Serbia forfeiting the euro qualification.
The Bradford Stadium fire really wasn't caused by a moron. It was a clear accident. A lit cigarette dropped on a pile of trash that had accumulated over the years under the stands. And the Flames just took off.
The soccer player who was dying from a water bottle is the reason why most of us think soccer is soft af. If you never taken a water bottle to the head, just look at Kid Cudi. Took several shoots and not once did he fall or shout in agony.
I heard the Bradford city fire was actually caused by a father who was with his son and was smoking and discarded the lit cigarette which lit up the stands
There aren't too many instances where I have sympathy for the former Ron Artest. He is/was a hotheaded man child bully who happened to play basketball. However, for that particular incident. I don't blame Artest. He actually made a conscious choice to stop fighting (albeit a strange way of doing it). The situation was beginning to deescalate. Then came the cup. Everyone who was there says the same thing, "We saw the cup flying...We saw where it was going to land ...and all we could say to ourselves was OH NO!!!". That cup broke all the chill that Artest had at that moment, and he broke out like an animal. The guy in the video was right. If the fan hadn't thrown that cup, it would have been a totally different, and mostly forgotten event.
Honestly, the discourse following the fight pissed me off more than the fight itself. To hear the media tell it, Ron Artest was a dangerous animal that needed to be put down. I'm glad Netflix released the documentary that put everything in perspective.
I'm not sure if this one counts, but there was incident that happened during the 1913 Epsom Derby that was held in Surrey, England. A Suffragist named Emily Davison walked onto the track, and tried to grab the reins of the horse that was owned by King George V. She ended getting hit, and died a couple of days later in the hospital due to injuries. The incident was caught on camera (There's actual footage still around), and there isn't a clear explanation for why she did it, but most assumed so she can put a Suffrage flag on one of the horses.
During the oxford v Cambridge boat race a few years ago, the whole thing was stopped for ages because a swimmer decided to jump in front of the boats. That one is up there.
Payet dramatized a minor issue to big problem water bottles thrown in Football field is not something new but walking off from the ground is such a pathetic thing

This is why I’m happy the Lightning signed Pierre. He’s the only goon with a soul. Everyone starts fighting, Bellemare (the guy who hit Orlov) is the ONLY one try to make sure no one falls on him and that he has space for the medics to come on the ice. CLASS. ACT.😤💯
I remember watching a Cubs game a few years back that's never shown on any lowlight reels, someone tried to distract the pitcher (I don't know if it was the Cubs pitcher or the opponent) by using a rapidly flashing red light during the pitch, something like you see when some cameras are about to take a picture. It happened at least twice before the person was escorted off.
I'm not sure the Bradford fire should be considered "ruined by morons". Smoking was commonplace (and permitted) at the time, it's likely that an uncleared buildup of debris under the stand was what was ignited, rather than the stand itself.
Agree. I really don’t think the Bradford Fire belongs in this compilation.
There was a lot of other football around that same time (1985) that was ruined by morons, as hooliganism was rife in those days, but the Bradford Fire was caused by an accidentally-dropped match or cig.
may I add Kanjuruhan Football Incident?
after the game, some jerks fans broke off and starting to rampaging there... and one of the police have no choice but to use a tear gas...
the rampage between soccer fans and the polices resulting a lots of death...
The change in tone between the Bradford City Fire and the others is jarring
I was at a Carolina Panther’s game where a group of protesters managed to smuggle in a huge banner and climbing ropes and harnesses past security. They took them to the top level of the stadium, unfurled the banner down in front of then owner Jerry Richardson’s suite, and repelled down on the ropes and harnesses. It was something alright.
I'm surprised the devastating scenes at Edinburgh wasn't on the list. That was very scary.
Same here, but hard to tell if the fans helped or poor management on the part of venue. Can Mojo do a part two.
6:01 No matter where you are, a wise bear once said, "Only you can prevent wildfires".
Putting an event where 56 people died in P15 of a top 20 list about "morons" seems a little unfortunate, don't you think?
Agree. Don’t think the Bradford Fire should be on this list. It was a dropped match or cig, an accident. It was a disaster waiting to happen, years of litter under a huge wooden stand. It wasn’t fans deliberately being idiots.
How is the fake ref at UCLA/Arizona football game not on here?!! The mayhem that he caused after that is nothing short of legendary...
Putting the Bradford fire on the list is out of order smoking wasn't illegal at the time in the game and there was no rules banning wooden stands in the country either. Absolutely tragic accident and nobody in the stadium that day should be called a moron because of it
Well what ya call the moron that threw his cigarette in a cup didn’t burn the thing out yet just threw it ti the floor then huh cause that start the fire there
Addendum for the list Mizzy invading the pitch during the Sidemen Charity Match they ended up cancelling the trophy ceremony at the end as a result
Can’t really blame the fans for Bradford fire tbh, not like someone deliberately threw the cigarette under the stand
"...not like someone who deliberately threw the cigarette under the stand was trying to start a fire." Fixed it for you.
@@morgantaylor84 no. According to reporter John Helm and many other witnesses “[A] man over from Australia visiting his son got two tickets to the game. He lit a cigarette and when it was coming to an end he put it down on to the floorboard and tried to put his foot on it to put it out. It slipped through a hole in the floorboard.” So you’re wrong, the cigarette slipped down through the stand, it was not deliberately thrown under.
@@DougieDonuts457 We clearly have two different views on what the words "...under the stands..." mean. That being said I am wrong that it wasn't thrown to the place where it started the fire. It fell there.
No reason why the Bradford Fire was included. Unfortunate accident given smoking was allowed in the stand and a cigarette butt lit discarded papers under the seating
Clint Malarchuk reacted less to his jugular being cut and almost dying than that dude did getting hit by a plastic water bottle
Hockey players are just built different.
No "Disco Demolition Night"?!
It would have been nice to have the 1971 European Cup football match between Mönchengladbach and Internazionale included, where a 7-1 win was taken away from the former team because of a can thrown at an Internazionale player.
Or the 1985 European Cup where the Liverpool fans killed 59 people, mostly Juventus fans and injured hundreds of others.
Like I've always said, the worst part about any franchise, sport, etc, are usually the fans.
Other sports commentators: There is a fan
Boxing commentators: Get this clown out of here he should be ashamed
thanks for mentioning Bathurst :D
and the other australian stuff :D
Asking for alcohol to be removed from Australian sports grounds is like asking to remove the ball. Never going to happen.
I understood in some games you can only buy light beer now.
Should still happen. We don't need to be drunk everywhere we go. When alcohol and sports are involved...bad things happen. Stupidity explodes out of people when they drink. It's fine to have one or two but you don't need to get drunk. Sad
What do you want to bet these “fans” throwing bottles, making death threats, etc. are the same ones who shriek, “Why don’t the athletes care about the fans!?” any time they don’t get some freebie? I wouldn’t care about and want to reward someone actively trying to injure and terrorize me either.
6:02
They showed us the Bradford City Stadium Fire in Junior Police Academy. It was not a pretty sight
Not mentioned on this list. In the summer of 1990 . Roseanne Bar who at the time who was married to the comedian Tom Arnold. He threw out the first pitch. She sang a drunk national anthem song cause she was seriously neevouse. I was thier. I can still remember her singing 32 years later. The fans through beach bowls in the stand. It was the Padres stadium. Plus making it even more torture it a double header game.
hard to believe that a person getting stabbed by a fan didn't make top 10.
i was watching the tour de france crash live and god damn it was intense
The woman was only fined 1,200 euros (last I read)
I thought the futbul(soccer) match between Queretaro vs Atlas from earlier in the year would have made it.
That shit was on its own league. No one believes there were no casualties
Another dishonourable mention should go to a "friendly" match between Ireland and England in February 1995. After Ireland scored a goal 20 minutes, idiotic English fans started chanting "no surrender to the IRA," and then started hauling seats and other projectiles they could get their hands on, down from the upper stand (where much of the English fans were located) down to an area where mostly Irish fans were gathered. Pleas to end the madness fell upon deaf ears and the match ended up being abandoned. To make matters worse, English "fans" were pictured cheering about their stupid behaviour, for playing a big role in the game being abandoned
I'm not a fan of sports, but fans meddling in the game is seriously messed up, even more so if you are really a fan of either the team or the game.
4:30 have you got any involving like the Baja 1000 I’ve heard and I’ve seen on videos in the past where some spectators, dig deep ditches or basically ramps so that when the race trucks come by they hit them and then they crash for their enjoyment
How is a fan causing an accidental bike crash above Monica literally being STABBED on live tv…..
Denmark v Sweden Euro 2008 qualifying. The match was tied at 3-3 when a drunk Danish fan ran out on the pitch and hit the referee, which made the match be awarded as a 3-0 win to Sweden.
I'm actually surprised the rock incident was included in this. It's a largely obscure incident
I think this needs to be updated again because of the incident in Indonesia...
This may not qualify for a couple of reasons but; July 4, 2022 a protestor interfered with Joey Chestnut during the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Joey who had to get around using crutches due to ruptured tendon, continued to eat a hotdog while putting the protestor in a headlock and shoving him out of the way.
Joey went on to consume 63 hotdogs and win the contest
Toronto Maple Leafs fans did the same thing in Rogers Arena during a moment of silence vs Vancouver Canucks
The Bradford City fire was a tragic avoidable accident rather than any act of malice or stupidity.
I really wasn't expecting an FAI Cup final to appear on here even as an honourable mention.
half of it happened in Australia, they should seriously think in banning alcohol from sports events.
Serbia vs Albania euro qualifying match. Someone flew a drone in the stadium bearing a flag which caused a brawl on the field. Ultimately caused Serbia forfeiting the euro qualification.
I knew that that the Malice at The Palace would be #1 in this video.
The Bradford Stadium fire really wasn't caused by a moron. It was a clear accident. A lit cigarette dropped on a pile of trash that had accumulated over the years under the stands. And the Flames just took off.
it is disrespectful not to be able to stand and keep quiet when there should be a minute's silence
The soccer player who was dying from a water bottle is the reason why most of us think soccer is soft af. If you never taken a water bottle to the head, just look at Kid Cudi. Took several shoots and not once did he fall or shout in agony.
I presume you are from a country where severe brain injuries are a common feature of the sports you play.
@@thespider2566 your country doesn't enjoy boxing, mma or other combat sports?
4:02 you know it’s bad when peter brock slows down
I heard the Bradford city fire was actually caused by a father who was with his son and was smoking and discarded the lit cigarette which lit up the stands
So... No one gonna talk about the idiots who glued themselves to the track at Silverstone earlier this year?
I’m sick of those idiots, wish they’d all get locked up.
The pronunciations of PAOK and Ajax hurt my soul. And I'm American!
There aren't too many instances where I have sympathy for the former Ron Artest. He is/was a hotheaded man child bully who happened to play basketball.
However, for that particular incident. I don't blame Artest. He actually made a conscious choice to stop fighting (albeit a strange way of doing it). The situation was beginning to deescalate. Then came the cup. Everyone who was there says the same thing, "We saw the cup flying...We saw where it was going to land ...and all we could say to ourselves was OH NO!!!". That cup broke all the chill that Artest had at that moment, and he broke out like an animal.
The guy in the video was right. If the fan hadn't thrown that cup, it would have been a totally different, and mostly forgotten event.
Honestly, the discourse following the fight pissed me off more than the fight itself. To hear the media tell it, Ron Artest was a dangerous animal that needed to be put down. I'm glad Netflix released the documentary that put everything in perspective.
What about The Hillsborough Disaster? 97 people died.
I'm not sure if this one counts, but there was incident that happened during the 1913 Epsom Derby that was held in Surrey, England. A Suffragist named Emily Davison walked onto the track, and tried to grab the reins of the horse that was owned by King George V. She ended getting hit, and died a couple of days later in the hospital due to injuries. The incident was caught on camera (There's actual footage still around), and there isn't a clear explanation for why she did it, but most assumed so she can put a Suffrage flag on one of the horses.
There were 3 football (soccer) games between El Salvador and Honduras that put the countries in a state of war.
So a snow fight is ranked higher that a stabbing and a fire that killed dozens of people?
If you're able to find other sporting events that were ruined eventual part 2 please
During the oxford v Cambridge boat race a few years ago, the whole thing was stopped for ages because a swimmer decided to jump in front of the boats. That one is up there.
That's why you should put nets to keep those idiots away from the race
You guys in sports mojo should know that in brazil we have football fights worst than the whole list
Philly vs Washington capitals. That tackle could have easily paralyzed the player. smh that’s such a disgusting tackle
i remember that caps game. Just wow!
Payet dramatized a minor issue to big problem water bottles thrown in Football field is not something new but walking off from the ground is such a pathetic thing
