The Greek origins of hooliganism!!!!

[omegaspan]

Yes, beloved friends from all over the world who participate in this forum, most of the good things you have known in life have risen from Greece, but what you dont know, is that many of the bad things come from the same place too!


During the times of the Eastern Roman Empire, a popular sport was horse racing with chariots, and different teams existed, with organised fans!

Social class and political alliances intermixed with the fan parties.

What is now known as the "Nika Stasis", is a large uprising of fans, influenced by different Emperors or wanna be Emperors and other royalty, which resulted in parts of Constaninople being set on fire, and break in to a jail to free some fans accused of murder...

The end of this uprising was when Justinian ordered two of his generals, Velissarius and Mundus, to crash the uprising and 30.000 Byzantine hooligans were butchered after being traped inside the stadium....

I can't add anything to your this sentence. You are right.
Greeks are like problem child. They always want something. But they don't like chocolate like the other children .They want lands without fighting, they want money without working.
And modern greeks aren't ancient greeks geneticly or culturally. They have mixed a lot of people.

yes right,all modern Greeks are phonies and today you can find them on the shores next to their fishing boats singing this tune:


Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

There was Mermaid Minnie, met her down in Madagaskar
She would kiss me, any time that I would ask her
Then one evening her flame of love blew out
Blow me down and pick me up!
She swapped me for a trout

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

There was Typhoon Tessie, met her on the coast of Java
When we kissed I bubbled up like molten lava
Then she gave me the scare of my young
Blow me down and pick me up!
She was the captain's wife

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo
