Russian MP offers solution to hooligan violence: make it a spectator sport
14 replies, posted
[QUOTE][B]A Russian politician has proposed an unorthodox solution to the country’s problems with football hooliganism before hosting the World Cup next year – legalise it and make it a spectator sport.[/B]
Organised groups of Russian fans fought English supporters on the streets of Marseille during the European Championship last year.
That inspired Igor Lebedev, who sits in the Russian parliament, to draw up rules for what he calls “draka” – the Russian word for ‘fight’ – with 20 unarmed fighters on each side in an arena.

From what I've seen from the period, the 90s was pretty much like that in Russia.
That sounds like a very... Russian thing to say.
They already do the Draka thing in parks and such, just two groups beating the shit out ofneach other for no real reason other than "fun", it's a bit mental.
The first rule of hooligan club...

I'd pay to watch that live.
Well, if it gets them off the street it can't be all bad.
They can take their anger out on equally angry people instead of innocent civilians who are treading on eggshells.
