Police Investigating "Handicapped" World Cup Fans In Wheelchairs Shown Standing up To Celebrate
LBS - Police are reportedly investigating a group of fans who attended a World Cup game in wheelchairs for possible ticket fraud. According to The Telegraph, several photos shown on CCTV and seen on social media sites appear to show Brazilian fans that claimed to be wheelchair-bound jumping out of their seats in celebration. Police believe the fans may have purchased the tickets through the secondary market and wound up having to use wheelchairs to get into the stadium with the seats they bought. A Brazilian law requires 1% of the stadium’s capacity to be devoted to disabled fans. Here is one of the photos in question. By illegally purchasing seats that are reserved for disabled patrons, fans would have access to specific seats and concession stands that are only supposed to be available to fans who need wheelchairs. The tickets also cost roughly half the price of a regular seat. While we don’t want to speculate about the condition of the fans in the above photo, you can only hope someone wouldn’t take advantage of the system like that.
Snake it til you make it! This is the World Cup folks. Its every man for himself. Handicapped or otherwise. Nobody uses those handicapped seats anyway. Same thing as the parking spots. 1 out of every 100 handicapped seats at a sporting event is actually taken up. Otherwise its just wasted space. This event comes around once every 4 years and we’re gonna just gonna let precious real estate go to waste? For sure not. Plus no actual wheelchair bound person would go to the World Cup. Its just way to risky. When shit goes south and there are Brazilian riots or stampedes or melees, you’d a dead duck. No chance to escape the madness.
So lets be honest – these guys aren’t taking up any spots. There’s not a single handicapped person on the planet who went to buy tickets and was like “Oh fuck they’re sold out.” Its just a savvy move from some World Cup Veterans. Spacious room at the game, special access to concession stands. Its like Costanza’s private bathroom at Play Now.
