So, this happened. During an international soccer match between Turkey and Greece (I won’t use the term friendly, for reasons you’re about to see and hear. In addition to the fact that Turkey and Greece hate each other) a moment of silence was called for, to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris.
Only one problem. There was very, very little silence as Turkish fans started booing:

Not only did the religion of peace boo during the moment of silence, according to several reports, chants of “Allahu Akhbar” (God is greater) could be heard.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to hear Aaron Rodgers tell us how American prejudice is responsible for the current state of the world. Really looking forward to that.
