Pretty harsh!
The boos started shortly after Korean rapper PSY took the stage at the half time show during the Italian Cup final soccer match between Roma and Lazio. To try and drown out the booing the organizers of the event made the decision to raise the volume of the music.The booing might have been racist in nature as fans of both clubs have been known to have a history of racist chanting.
In fact police ended up confiscating bags of weapons including knives, clubs, and rocks before kickoff. This did not deter violent clashes from occurring. Lazio ended up winning the final match with a score of 1-0 against Roma. I guess PSY wasn’t able to calm the already stirred up emotions of the crowd like the organizers were hoping when they booked the performer. Sports fans in any country are passionate to say the least.
