Soccer players suspended in France for throwing lit flares into stands

A wild scene broke out in France.

Anarchy broke out in the closing minutes of Valenciennes vs. Troyes in France over the weekend when play had to be suspended in the 89th minute due to the pitch becoming littered in lit flares.

What happened next was unlike anything we’ve seen before. Frustrated Troyes players began picking up the lit flares, throwing them back into the crowd, and potentially creating a deadly scenario in the stands.

This all stemmed from frustration bubbling over.
