Pro-trans mob attacks women’s sports activists at Portland soccer match
Activists advocating for women’s sports are confronted and attacked by a crowd at a Portland Thorns FC match in Oregon. Harris Faulkner, Martha MacCallum, Charles Payne, Mollie Hemingway and Melissa DeRosa react to the physical confrontation on ‘Outnumbered.’ The panel details the Department of Justice’s response to the incident and criticizes the soccer club’s statement.
You hear people say that they like watching hockey for the fights, and if that’s you, maybe consider checking out some Brazilian U20 soccer. It had a record-breaking donnybrook that produced more red cards than a deck of cards with only hearts and diamonds.

In the end, 43 players and 8 staffers were sent off for early showers, which is more players than I realized even dress for a soccer game.
Of those 51, 48 stemmed from the brawl, while one player was sent off beforehand due to a second yellow card. Two more were dealt red cards after, with one player threatening to hit an official and another going all the way and clocking an opponent.

Yes; somehow the match continued after the brawl.
That is a Guinness World Record, obliterating the previous mark of 36 set during a 2011 match in Argentina’s fifth division.
