We all hate Mondays, but the soccer fans who follow Germany’s Eintracht Frankfurt team take that to a whole new level. The spectators are irate that the club has moved games to Monday nights, and they’re taking it out on the pitch with a hail of tennis balls and streamers.
Fans held signs reading “No to Monday night football” and “Monday is for chest and biceps” in outrage at the weekday game. Thousands of tennis balls rained down onto the pitch, forcing players to take shelter in the dugout. One fan was so pissed off during that game against Liepzig that he suffered a heart attack. It was quite a wild time.
