Football Hooligans

How desperate are people for World Cup tickets?  So desperate that three poor, misguided souls posed as people with disabilities in order to purchase tickets in the reserved disability section.  Other fans became suspicious when the three Argentines leapt out of their newly purchased wheelchairs to cheer their team, prompting security to escort them out of the stadium. 

 

I hope these geniuses felt enough remorse to at least consider donating the wheelchairs to a worthy charity.  Unfortunately, there probably isn’t much sporting officials can do to prevent such abuse.  I can’t imagine the guy behind the ticket window saying, “Sir, I need to see your complete medical records for the last five years before I can sell you this ticket.”  The only solution is to mercilessly shame these poseurs in the press after they’re caught.
