Greek Basketball Title Game Gets WILD With Flare Guns And Fires In The Stands

Well there’s something you don’t see everyday. Or ever. I may need to call up Euroball friend of the program Matt Walsh to see if this kind of stuff is commonplace for overseas basketball. And people threw a shit fit when someone shot a flare gun off in The 700 Level across the Vet’s night sky in the ’90’s. Just look and listen to those gaggle of drunken disasters literally playing with fire in the stands of a CLOSED ARENA. When tossing a Molitov Cocktail into the heart of the swarm only encourages their behavior, you know you’re dealing with a bunch of batshits. Not to mention the balls on these players for continuing to ball in a double digit game when legitimate cannon fire is going off all around them. And here I thought the Greek dollar was worthless. These guys are battling it out like Achilles and Hector in their prime. Did I just whip out a Greek Mythology reference to The Iliad? Believe it. Just a shame I couldn’t allude to Oedipus Rex with someone on the court being a motherfucker. Where’s Delonte West when you need him?

Still, I’m surprised they were able to evacuate the fans after they were the ones who started the riot. If this were filled with true Eurotrash (or even better/worse, Scotsman) there would be a worldwide orgy of destruction. That arena would be less than ash.
