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.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

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).
