Fan fights are nothing new, but what's going on at Euro 2016 has gotten utterly ridiculous and shockingly coordinated. Take the above video, for example. Prior to an England match in Marseille a couple of days ago, some Englishmen were the victims of a baseless attack that included bottles and all types of furniture being thrown in their direction.
The most unbelievable thing is that the previous example is one of the more tame instances of fan violence. That same day, Russia and England fans got involved in some of the most disturbing sights from the entire tournament.
What starts off as a group of Englishmen taunting an opposing team's fan base leads to these horrific acts of retaliation. According to Deadspin, these attacks have been so calculated that French authorities have responded as if the English fans are the "aggressors rather than victims."
The common yet unsettling visual of fan fights inside a stadium are still there, as well.
