In what is being described as one of the world’s worst stadium disasters ever, at least 129 people were killed during a riot after a soccer game in Indonesia, leaving at least another 180 injured after the stampede.

Bleacher Report adds that 2 police officers were also killed.

Reuters reported that ‘after the match in East Java province between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya ended on Saturday night, supporters from the losing team invaded the pitch and police had fired tear gas, triggering a stampede and cases of suffocation, East Java police chief Nico Afinta told reporters.’

‘Zainudin Amali, Indonesia’s sports minister, told KompasTV the ministry would re-evaluate safety at football matches, including considering not allowing spectators in stadiums,’ Reuters added.

Meanwhile, related to the soccer fandom, Daily Mail reported, “‘Sobering tents will be used for drunk and disorderly fans’ at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar – with over 2.5MILLION supporters flocking to the host nation for the tournament that kicks off in just 50 days!”

[5] Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: [6] For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: [7] In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. [8] But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Colossians 3:5-8

Sports are one of the most important tools governments use to distract the masses from actual issues, keeping them preoccupied with vain games. The sport itself is not so much the issue, but the fruits of idolatry are clearly on display. “Bread and circuses” comes to mind.

So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern…Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.

“1984” by George Orwell
[14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. [16] Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James 1:14-16

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • Just… so utterly retarded.

    But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
    2 Peter 2:12‭-‬14 KJV

    • Those verses describe these sports idolaters to a tee.
      They’re brute beasts that have no feelings or understanding, they’re insentient and foolish, and they’re prideful too! They worship their sports and they would kill themselves if they had to part with them.
      You know what, they deserve the Great Reset!

  • As the Roman poet Juvenal quoted: “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.”
    Bread and circus: stuffing their faces with hot dogs, Doritos, Budweiser, Miller Lite, corn dogs and whatever is edible, while watching football (both soccer and American football) baseball and basketball and NASCAR and so on. Sports bars especially devilish lust dens like Hooters where patrons can drink a gallon of beer and eat 100 wings and watch the Dallas Cowboys playoff against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for example…

    Meanwhile…the government is setting up major destruction and the global elitists see all of these sports fans how they are so infatuated with their team and have man caves full of their NFL team garbage and if they missed one game it would be a fate worse than death. They see that and say “we have a bunch of morons and we have them where we want them, showtime!” And then disaster strikes!
