Norwegian Soccer Fans Protest Game by Throwing Fish Cakes on the Field

Recently, Norwegian soccer teams have begun using VAR, or a video-assisted referee. This has pissed off Norwegian soccer fans, and now, they’re protesting using fish. They’re Norwegian, after all.

A game between Rosenborg BK and Lillestrom had only just begun when, to quote ABC News, “fans showed their displeasure with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) by throwing fish cakes onto the field.”

“After a two-minute bombardment of fish cakes, the referee stopped the match and sent the players to the dressing room,” the article reports. “The match was restarted, but the protests intensified, with tennis balls and smoke bombs being thrown onto the field. The referee abandoned the match around the half-hour mark with the score 0-0.”

I’m sure it smelled great!
