Ke1t Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 On this day in 532AD two rival teams, the Greens and the Blues, rioted at the stadium in Constantinople, leading to the deaths of about 30,000 people. These were called the Nika Riots. There were four teams in the city... the Greens, the Blues, the Reds, and the Whites. The two biggest clubs were the Greens and the Blues. The Blues were the club that the authorities supported. Supporters of the Greens and Blues were arrested for murder, but they escaped. When the coppers came to arrest them the Greens and Blues started trashing the city and killing each other. The Reds and Whites, however, had nothing to do with the trouble. They 'stood free' of the bigotry and violence. The riots eventually ended when the Blues received a large bundle of cash under the table. 1 Link to comment
