Poop Soccer Fans are Weird

I usually don't care for threads that basically go "hey, look at this cool video I found", but this one is exceptionally strange.

Since its strange and foreign, you need context to understand this. Apparently in Turkey they have a problem with soccer fans holding up torches during games. No idea why someone would want a torch in a soccer stadium, but there you go. So, fans were banned from lighting torches in soccer stadiums.

In protest to the new policy, a bunch of soccer fans did this:

Turkish football fans have probably kept many flare companies in business over the years, but when the Turkish FA banned them from stadiums, their brand of pyromaniac fun seemed to be over.

The fans of Super Lig club Eskisehirspor had other ideas, though. In response to the decision, they unfurled a giant trollface banner equipped with holes just so they could light flares and hold them throughout the banner like flaming Swiss cheese. The one-word question on the banner: "Problem?"

The banner was then rolled back up, the flares were extinguished and everyone carried on singing and having fun. Brilliant.

Whatever song that was, they would be wise to switch to Seven Nation Army.
