Is Mail Delivered on Veterans Day 2016

Today is Veterans Day here in the good old US of A, so let me start off by saying thank you to all of the veterans that have risked their lives to protect our country and to make it the greatest place to live in the world.

Does The United States Deliver Mail On Veterans Day?

Now Veterans Day being a national holiday, many people wonder whether or not they will get their mail delivered to them today. Here’s the answer to that question: No, your mail will not be delivered to you today.

All post offices and federal offices will be closed for the holiday, meaning that no business or households will receive their mail, and this is will also count towards USPS packages. Although it is a federal holiday and all federal offices are closed, all federal workers will still be paid today.

FedEx and UPS will still be open during Veterans Day and will provide their regular pickup and delivery services.

Some additional holidays on which mail is not delivered include:

  • New Year’s Day
  • Christmas
  • Thanksgiving
  • Labor Day
  • Independence Day (July 4th)
  • President’s Day
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • Columbus Day
  • Memorial Day

Happy Veterans Day!


Veterans Day 2016: 10 Best Quotes To Honor Our Veterans

honoring-our-veterans

November 11, 2016 is Veteran’s Day, the day on which every single American should take some time out of their day to think about the freedoms that they’re afforded because of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our country. It’s certainly not an easy thing to, to go to a foreign country with the very real possibility of dying, but that’s never stopped our noble troops.

It’s very hard to put our thanks to our troops into words, so we’d prefer to let other, more erudite writers explain exactly what our troops mean to us. Here are some of the most inspirational quotes for our troops here.


“On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.” – Dan Lipinski, U.S. Representative


“Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower


“From the world wars of Europe to the jungles of the Far East, from the deserts of the Middle East to the African continent, and even here in our own hemisphere, our veterans have made the world a better place and America the great country we are today.” – John Hoeven, U.S. Senator

“My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place — police, firefighters, and members of our armed forces.”Sidney Sheldon


“While we can never truly repay the debt we owe our heroes, the least we should do for our brave veterans is to ensure that the government takes a proactive approach to delivering the services and benefits they have earned, so they can access the care they need and so richly deserve.” – Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Senator


“You’d have to go a long way to find someone who was more proud and grateful for what our veterans have done for all of us.” – Jim Davis, Cartoonist


“In valor there is hope.” – Publius Cornelius Tacitus

“Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!” – Sun Tzu


“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”Elmer Davis


“I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot.”Gary Hart

WATCH: Steve Smith Roasts Rodney Harrison For Doubting Him

The Baltimore Ravens smoked the still winless Cleveland Browns last night, beating them 28-7 to improve to 5-4 on the season. Steve Smith played a crucial part in their victory, racking up 60 yards and a TD on five catches. In Smith’s postgame interview, he took some shots at Rodney Harrison for doubting him. Via CBS Sports, Harrison has been critical of the veteran wide receiver.

“I look at Steve Smith and he is your best player, but the problem is he is a 37-year-old wide receiver,” Harrison said last month. “He is coming off a major surgery. Once he left the game, then your toughness and production left. They have some good young wide receivers, but they don’t have a lot of NFL experience.”

This made last night a perfect time for Smith to do some gloating.

I couldn’t agree more. Age is nothing but a number, as Smith has been very productive for the Ravens this season. In seven games of action, he’s caught 36 passes for 417 yards and two TDs. I don’t even know why Harrison has a job as a TV analyst in the first place. That guy royally sucks on air, and he was one of the dirtiest players to ever put on shoulder pads.

To dance on Harrison’s grave, Smith bragged about the size of his shovel.

God, I wish Steve Smith would never retire. That fiery son of a bitch is a Hall of Fame trash talker.

SMU Cancels Honorary First Serve Of Volleyball Game For Daughter Of Slain Dallas Policeman

Victoria Smith SMU Volleyball First Serve

Victoria Smith is the daughter of Sgt. Michael Smith, one of the four Dallas police officers who was killed in the tragic attack a few months ago. In a nod of support for her and her father, Southern Methodist University had scheduled Victoria to serve an honorary “first serve” at the SMU volleyball game against South Florida this Saturday. It was a nice gesture for a girl who has been through a lot recently.

But unfortunately, SMU pulled back on their offer on Thursday night. They cited the “shocking election results” as the reason for pulling out.

Here’s the email that Sgt. Smith’s widow received via email:

Subject: Smith Family

Hello again Heidi,

I regret to inform you that we will not be able to go through with the honorary first serve. In the switch between staff members and the handling of volleyball promotions, some information was not forwarded on correctly from (name omitted) to myself and I deeply apologize for that.

The volleyball program was not correctly informed that this would be taking place at the game, and feels that in light of recent events and diversity within the SMU community, that the demonstration could be deemed insensitive.
However, the coaching staff would like to still do something for Victoria and the team. They are invited to stay after the game for an autograph session with the players, if you would like.
Again, they apologize for the inconvenience and late notice, especially in regards to the sensitivity of this matter.

I do hope that you all will still join us on Saturday. If you would like to discuss this further, you can reach me at
(name and # omitted)

I know that it’s easy to point fingers at a time like this, but for the SMU Volleyball team and the Athletic Director to pull out of a warm gesture like this is honest-to-god cowardice. What happened to Sergeant Smith, to his daughter, to his wife is terrible and had absolutely nothing to do with the election. I recognize that there’s still a large amount of healing that our nation needs to do, but the Smith family needs the Dallas community, just like the Dallas community needed officers like Sergeant Smith.

Our nation needs to come together. I’m upset with the result of the election just like everyone else in my NYC bubble, but we need to move on and be better people. Protesting the daughter of a dead cop is not something I can ever, or will ever, support.

Share this story and help put the pressure on SMU to offer Victoria the opportunity to serve at the game this Saturday. Show her that America supports their own.

Ageless Wonder Bartolo Colon Signs With Atlanta Braves

According to reports, Bartolo Colon has signed with the Atlanta Braves.

Colon will turn 44-years-old next May, but you wouldn’t know it by the way he pitched for the New York Mets last season. In 33 starts (34 appearances), the righty went 15-8 with a 3.43 ERA and 1.21 WHIP while striking out 128 batters over 191.2 innings. This will be the end of a solid tenure for Colon as a Met. In his three years with the club, Colon went 44-34 with a 3.90 ERA and 1.23 WHIP while striking out 415 batters over 588.2 innings.

The Braves just signed 42-year-old R.A. Dickey yesterday, so they clearly weren’t too pleased with going 68-93 last season. They’ve been very aggressive out of the gate this offseason, and they’re hoping these two durable veterans will be able to give them a lot of quality innings. The Braves will have to keep their fingers crossed that Colon and Dickey won’t get too distracted by early bird dinners and Murder She Wrote reruns.

I’m sure the Braves will tell everybody that they signed Colon to bolster their rotation, as their starters were 28th in the MLB last season with a 4.87 ERA. But we all know the real reason why Colon is now in Hotlanta and that is his tape measure power. I’m legitimately giddy about getting to watch Colon hit again next season.

NBA Picks And Parlays: Spreads & Betting Tips For Week 3

NBA Picks And Parlays

That did not go as planned. After my awesome start for my picks in the first week of the NBA season, last week was not as kind to me as I went 2-3. Still have a winning record through two weeks, but I’m 0-2 on my Locks of the Week. For any of those wondering, I’m still going to pick against the Nets each and every time because they’re a joke. Since they do not play tonight, we’ll have to find ourselves a new Lock of the Week, but whatever, I’m up for the task. Tonight offers a great slate of games, so it’s time for me to get back to my winning ways. There’s obviously a lot of basketball left to be played this season, but I’m going for a winning record on the season. Love the picks for tonight, winners on winners:


Knicks +6 @ Celtics

I’m doing the unthinkable and betting on my Knicks, but I have to say I feel pretty good about this game. While I think the Celtics are the better team, they’ve gotten off to a cold start this year, and it’s doubtful that Al Horford plays tonight. Hopefully, the Knicks can keep it close, which would require them to make Kristaps Porzingis the focal point of their offense. I will lose my goddamn mind if I lose this bet because Carmelo and Derrick shot a combined 15-50 between the two of them, which is very likely to happen but whatever. Also, here’s your daily “Go to Hell James Dolan you god forsaken asshole who’s preventing Knicks fans from seeing their team win an NBA Title” comment.


Cavaliers -7 @ Wizards

I hate betting on any team Lebron James is on because whenever I use to bet on him he’d always lose me money like a shit head, but lately he’s been pretty kind to me so I’m rolling with the Cavs. I think Cleveland is a far better team than Washington, really than the entire Eastern Conference for that matter, plus J.R. Smith is my dude and I’ll bet on him whenever that opportunity arises. Kyrie Irving is kinda cool, too, I guess.


Clippers @ Thunder OVER 204

I have no idea who to pick this game, so I’m going with the over because betting on the over is always fun. Both teams can score at will, so hopefully they decide to give us a little Veterans Day treat by playing zero defense and a shit ton of points because this is America and we love three pointers and slam dunks. So go with the over, and if you’re feeling kinda frisky and want to take one of these two teams, then I guess go with the Clippers.


Spurs -8.5 vs Pistons – Lock of the Week

Spurs vs Pistons - Lock of the Week

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, when in doubt just bet on the Spurs. To no one’s surprise, they’re really good again this year and are also great at home. Kawhi Leonard is the man, Gregg Popovich is the man, so expect the Spurs to take care of business tonight and put some money in my pocket as my Lock of the Week. And you know what? Shout out to Patty Mills too, love that guy. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy! Oy! Oy!


Raptors +3 @ Hornets

Raptors +3 Hornets

I’ll admit that I don’t love this game, but I needed another pick to round out my five for the week, so we’re going with the Raptors. This probably isn’t a great team to choose from, but I like Toronto better as an overall team, and nobody on the Hornets really scares me other than Kemba Walker. I expect DeMar DeRozen to put up a ton of points like he’s done for the first few weeks of the season, and for Kyle Lowry to do Kyle Lowry things and help get me this W. I went to Toronto a few months ago and it was a pretty kick ass city, so I guess that factors into this pick as well. Don’t judge me.

I feel really good about all of these picks, and fully expect to take my bookie’s money tonight. No better way to bounce back from a losing week than by responding with a group of picks that go 5-0. Have yourself a great Veterans Day, enjoying taking money from your bookie, and God Bless America.

Record on the Season: 6-4

Locks of the Week: 0-2

Are You Really A Field Goal Holder If You Don’t Have A Highlight Tape?

Peter Mortell Holder of the Year Award

The most unsung heroes of every college football team are the field goal holders. You’ll almost never know the names of the holders if they do their job right, but if they mess up then you can bet that every single fan will be calling for their heads. Being a holder isn’t easy or glorious, but chasing fame isn’t why they signed up for the job. These guys are in it solely for the headbutts and handshakes after they see the ball go through the uprights.

Enter Peter Mortell, the holder for Minnesota last year, who created the Mortell Holder of the Year Award. The coveted Mortell was awarded for the first time to none other than… Peter Mortell. Mortell was drafted by the Packers as a punter/QB, but was released during the season. But all that means is that he has more time to govern over the award he’s created. And holders, teams, and the entire nation are really buying into it. Some of the country’s top players have even taken to creating their own highlight reels in an attempt to gain favor in Mortell’s eyes.

Right now there is a very select list of kick holders who have the possibility of glory. Just be warned that it’s very select. Almost zero names on it.

Now that you’ve gotten to know the field of contestants, here are some who have gone above and beyond to campaign for their holds. Check out the most electric highlight videos you’ve ever seen in your damn lives.

University of Michigan – Garrett Moores


Texas A&M – “Lightning McQueen”

We all knew that Shia LaBeouf was a huge hip hop fan after he showed off his tattoos of rappers on Ellen, but I don’t think anybody knew that he had bars for days. On Sway in the Morning, Shia shocked the world by dominating his “5 Fingers of Death” freestyle. Watch Shia rip it in the video below. Unless you dig Oswin Benjamin, feel free to end the video at the 7:30 mark.

Goddamn! All the fire emojis, sirens, and Funk Flex bombs in the world! Dylan might need to reevaluate his top five rankings after that freestyle.

I didn’t see that coming at all. I was fully prepared for Shia to awkwardly mumble his way through some half-assed rhymes, but he wasn’t there to mess around. He had a ton of quality punchlines, and I was dying when he name-dropped the MTV News GOAT Kurt Loder.

He also knows how to end a freestyle with flair. What a performer.


Smile As You Watch Veterans With PTSD Discuss The Benefits Of Weed While Smoking Weed

Love these videos. Like those Grandmas smoking weed for the first time. Remember that? This is the same thing only much, much cooler. Also, slick move releasing this video on Veteran’s Day. Absolutely love it. It also helps that California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use, joining the likes of Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Within the next 10 years (probably five) it’s going to be legal nationwide.

Via Uproxx:

The same team behind “Grandmas Smoking Pot for The First Time” — brought together three vets to learn how marijuana can treat their PTSD, which one of them calls a “f*cking thorn in my side.” After taking a rip from a bong, they describe their mood as being “happy” and “relaxed.” Later, after munching on pizza and playing Never Have I Ever, the vets admit that marijuana could help them with their PTSD. “I feel safe, which is great.”

The Columbia Wrestling Team Is In Some Deep Sh*t After Racist, Sexist Text Messages Leak

Columbia Wrestling Team Texts

(Mario Tama/Getty Images)

The Columbia University Wrestling tea is in hot water after the Columbia student paper, BWOG, leaked what members of the team were saying in a series of racist and sexist text/GroupMe messages sent between members of the wrestling team from 2014 to today. The paper released a sample of the texts, which they’ve made anonymous in an attempt not “to defame any individuals, but to bring up a larger question of how this sort of culture has continued for so long among students who are supposed to represent the University.”

Just like the Harvard men’s soccer team email scandal that happened just weeks before, the messages from the Columbia Wrestling Team are not going to go down well. We’ve embedded a couple of the texts for you below.

columbia-wrestling-texts-1
columbia-wrestling-texts-2
columbia-wrestling-texts-3

We don’t know any of the people on the team personally, but it’s very likely that the Columbia Wrestling team isn’t the only group sending inappropriate/racist/sexist messages to one another. In fact, we know that’s not the case. But rather than just focus on Columbia or Harvard or whoever, I think it’s important for some of our younger men to think more clearly now, in today’s world, about what they’re saying and who they could be hurting, even in the coveted “locker room” (which by the way, is a safe space that’s somehow avoided all criticism from those who hate the idea of a “safe space”).

Certain American citizens have made it very clear that they don’t feel safe in their own country, so I challenge everyone to maybe take the high road for the foreseeable future, even when behind closed doors.

As for the school, they’re not likely to give the team just a little slap on the wrist, especially after we saw how severely Harvard punished their own extremely successful soccer team. Here’s the official statement from Columbia University:

Columbia University has zero tolerance in its athletics programs for the group messaging and texts sent by several members of the men’s varsity wrestling team. They are appalling, at odds with the core values of the University, violate team guidelines, and have no place in our community.

Upon learning yesterday of these messages, Columbia’s Department of Athletics and our office of Student Conduct and Community Standards initiated an investigation. The Department of Athletics has decided that, as the investigation proceeds, Columbia wrestlers will not compete in Binghamton University’s open meet this weekend.

Karolina Kowalkiewicz is a 31-year-old UFC fighter from Łódź, Poland. She has a career record of 10-0 with one of her wins coming from a knockout, two from submissions, and seven from decisions. Karolina was previously the KSW Women’s Flyweight Champion, but she will be looking for her first UFC title at UFC 205. On Saturday, November 12, she will take on Joanna Jędrzejczyk for the UFC Women’s Strawweight Championship.

It should be one helluva fight, as things got heated between the two fighters during their pre-fight press conference.

Karolina earned her title shot against Joanna by beating Rose Namajunas at UFC 201 on July 30, 2016 in a strawweight title eliminator. It was the Fight of the Night, and Karolina was able to pick up a split decision.

Despite her big win, Karolina will be a +300 underdog against Joanna. Let’s do our part in wishing Karolina good luck by taking a look at some of her hottest photos.

Sweet baby Jesus. Other models should just throw in the towel because Katya’s butt is the undisputed champion of Instagram.

WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Tries To Convince NFL Player That Dinosaurs Were Real

William Hayes Dinosaur Video

LA Rams defensive end William Hayes made headlines and tons of fans this summer when he revealed on Hard Knocks that he didn’t believe in the existence of dinosaurs, but did believe that mermaids exist. Furthermore, he explains that archaeologists are in on a conspiracy in which they plant fake dinosaur bones, then dig them up with some sort of fake reveal. Here’s a quote from Hayes to prove we’re not making this up, although with his logic he could blame us for just writing words and claiming they’re his:

“No, I don’t believe dinosaurs existed. Not even a little bit. With these bones, it’s crazy because man has never seen a dinosaur, we can agree on that, right? But we know exactly how to put these bones together? I believe there is more of a chance you will find a mermaid than you will a dinosaur because we find different species in the water all the time.”

Ummm, OK, William. That doesn’t really explain how mermaids exist, or anything, but we’re huge fans of your zany theory. You know who else is a big fan? Jimmy Kimmel, who decided to take Hayes to the Los Angeles Museum of National History in order to try and convince him that dinosaurs are actually real.

It did not go as planned. In fact, I think William Hayes actually convinced Jimmy the other way around.

Mexican Drug Lord El Chapo Calls Out The President-Elect on Twitter (Again!)

0

El Chapo Donald Trump twitter

One very bad hombre took to social media once again to call out Mr. Orange himself, the equally-infamous Donald Trump. You may remember Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the powerful drug kingpin who escaped from a Mexican prison in July 2015 (his second escape overall), and then later that same year, would put out a hefty bounty on Trump’s head to anyone who could capture this loud-mouthed political figure, dead or alive. Last night, El Chapo took to Twitter to deliver a different message.

Guzman had some choice words for the future new commander in chief. “The representative of hatred, confrontation, racism, persecution and misogyny that is so palpable in the world won. What a sad situation for everyone,” said El Chapo in an obvious shot at Trump. If you’ve paid attention to the mass media at all this past year, you’ll know who he’s referring to.

El Chapo also commented on Trump’s infamous plans to construct a wall between the United States and Mexico. “The wall is not a problem. I can knock it down, jump over it, go below it. But how many deportations do not come, how many families will be separated.”

It’s public knowledge that El Chapo has found resourceful ways of escaping from even the tightest of situations. He has escaped from prison on three different occasions. And he’s also very skilled in tunneling underneath structures, as his second escape from prison saw him tunnel his way out.

Can these two controversial businessmen just get along? Both are selling a product that scares and offends many yet also makes a large number of people feel really good. Of course, I’m referring to El Chapo’s drugs and Trump’s speeches. They are more alike than they would like to admit. Maybe they should just hug it out.

Strangely enough, Guzman also quoted civil rights icon Martin Luther King on his Twitter. “We’ve learned to fly like birds, swim like fish; but we have not learned the simple art of living as brothers” – M.L.K.

Open your heart, Trump! This is obviously a cry for help and a longing to embrace his fellow man. Why can’t we all just get along? Well, for one, if El Chapo gets too close, he’ll be captured again and extradited to the United States for drug trafficking charges. And second, I haven’t seen Trump as someone receptive to hugging it out, except in Mike Diva’s Japanese-themed YouTube parody video.

But with the Drug War and the divisive rhetoric it inspires, both figures will naturally be at each others’ throats figuratively and perhaps literally someday (with that hit placed on Trump and the threat of extradition looming over El Chapo’s head). Maybe it’s about time to make a compromise, America. To leave war forever locked away in your basement, as a relic of the past, collecting dust and losing meaning. Maybe then, will we finally pick up the simple art of living as brothers.

Tonight, the U.S. men’s national soccer team will kick off the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup with a match against Mexico. The USA is one of six teams that have advanced to the final stage of CONCACAF qualifying, and they got here by winning Group C in the semifinals.

Via OregonLive, there are six teams left, and they will all play each other twice in a round-robin, home-and-away format. The top three teams will advance to the 2018 World Cup, and the fourth place team will face off against the fifth place team from the Asian Football Confederation’s qualifying tournament in a playoff match for a World Cup berth.

A win tonight for the U.S. would be huge. Not only is it always nice to watch them beat their biggest rival, but three points would go a long way towards them punching their ticket to the 2018 World Cup. Let’s break down how you can keep up with all of the action.

Why Is Facebook Telling Everyone That They’re Dead?

This afternoon, Facebook started telling everyone that they’re dead. The bad news is that it’s very likely you’ll be getting a phone call from your aunt or uncle who just got the horrible news. The good news is that you’re able to tell them that you’re alive because… well you’re alive. It’s just a bug that Facebook’s having right now.

I’m a little upset that I can’t recreate this bug on my own, mostly because I think it’s the closest thing to attending my own funeral, but thankfully The Verge pulled together a couple of great examples to show that we’re not crazy. Apparently, the issue is even affecting Mark Zuckerberg.

The USA and Mexico square off tonight in a CONCACAF World Cup qualifying match that has major repercussions for both teams. Both the Americans and the Mexicans will play a total of 10 games against other countries in the region, and the top three teams will qualify for automatic berths in the World Cup. You have to assume that Costa Rica, who had a fantastic showing in the 2014 World Cup, will advance. And if you’re reading this article, you’re probably hoping that the United States advance. Mexico will also probably advance, although they barely squeaked into the World Cup last time around.

Our point is that this game between the USA and Mexico is important not just because it’s the first game of the tournament, but also because it will have a serious impact on the records of two teams who are expected to make it.

And as if the USA vs Mexico games weren’t a big enough rivalry, there’s a good chance that the recent election of Donald Trump will add some fuel to the fire this game. How will the fans react? How will they treat the visiting team? Hopefully they won’t be throwing D-size batteries on the pitch like they do at Estadio Azteca, but anything is possible.

The game  will air on Fox Sports 1 and will be vailable for streaming on the Fox Sports Go App.

Feel like life is going down the tubes? Caught up with all the craziness on the news? We’re here to help. Just watch this video of dancing bears! Feeling better already? Well, I’d hope so. It’s sometimes hard to notice the good and beautiful things that are all around us in this world, especially if we just keep focusing on what’s bad or wrong. But this delightful video of jammin’ bears is certainly all that’s right in life.

Planet Earth II is back! Earlier this week, they brought us the stunning footage of a marine iguana narrowly escaping from a slew of snakes. Now, this BBC program has left the Galapagos Islands and will return next Sunday, but to a mountainous area of the Canadian Rockies, home to grizzly bears scratching their back on trees, seemingly dancing as the 1973 Kool and the Gang hit “Jungle Boogie” plays for all to hear. The YouTube video description says it all, “Sometimes bears have an itch they just have to scratch!”

Can’t bear a moment longer? Are you getting annoyed with my banter and just want to see those damn dancing bears already?! Okay, okay. I’ll stop typing and give you the video you’ve been waiting for. Maybe you’ll even dance along with the song. Or maybe not. Whatever. Just watch.

WATCH: Someone Threw A Firecracker At Lewandowski’s Head And It Exploded

Someone threw a firecracker at an international soccer match! Poland had a 1-0 lead over Romania, when a firecracker was tossed onto the field and exploded by Poland’s forward player Robert Lewandowski. Almost immediately, he fell to the floor with his hands over his face. The incident occurred in Bucharest, Romania, this Friday afternoon.

Checks out this tweet that shows us this very unscheduled and unfortunate event as it unfolds:

Sports analyst Chris Reiko tweeted his concerns for Lewandowski, suggesting to his followers to pray for the hurt soccer player.

Former manager of the Poland team Franciszek Smóda also tweeted about Friday’s incident in a Romanian soccer field. He said, “About the seriousness of the situation, let the fact that even scared off is no match.” Smóda also posted a photo, which shows Lewandowski covering his face next to a cloud of smoking rising from the ground where the firecracker fell.

The game had to be suspended for 10 minutes as Lewandowski received medical attention. But that flare or firecracker didn’t hold down the Bayern star for long. He would return later in the game, prime to compete as he scored twice, securing a victory for the Polish team with a flawless victory (besides one unsanctioned firecracker incident that couldn’t keep this devoted soccer play down). In the end, Poland would defeat Romania with a score of 3-0.

But that miniature explosion that rattled a soccer player wasn’t the only time a flare was thrown onto the field. Earlier in the evening, another hooligan threw a flare onto the field and burned a hole through the top of a goal net. And during the first half of the game, soccer hooligans were battling it out from both sides of the stands. Sports and nationalism can come together with a wild frenzy inside a soccer stadium. Country versus country, team versus team. A lot of pride is on the line for the players and the fans. So, things can get pretty heated. Sports, pride, nationalism, testosterone, and alcohol are definitely not a good mix.

Last year, riot police were called to break up the fight between Romanian and Hungarian soccer fans in Budapest, the Hungarian capital. That wasn’t the case this time around.

Hats off to Robert Lewandowski. He came back after a scary ordeal with an exploding firecracker and ended up finishing the game and giving his team two more points to win. He’s like a soccer superhero!
