Proposal of a Russian official - turning football hooliganism into a sport

Russian State Duma member, representative of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia led by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Igor Lebedev, made an unexpected proposal - to turn uncontrolled fan fights into a sports event, according to lrytas.lt.

"Our fans are fighters, not hooligans. Their fights can be turned into a sport. After all, what is combat sports? One-on-one fights. Why not turn Russian folk entertainment into a sport? It's possible to come up with rules and hold championships," the deputy explained.

He even has a macabre idea on how to implement everything.

"For example, English fans come, they start looking for trouble. And here's the answer to them - a clash in the stadium. Twenty unarmed people on each side," he added.
