Let Egypt soccer riot be a lesson

The soccer riot in Port Said, Egypt, in which 74 people were killed, has startled the world. But conditions that led to the riot were present both inside and outside the stadium, given the rising public anger over lawlessness and collapsing security a year after Egypt's uprising, says an article in Qilu Evening News. Excerpts:

Soccer has always been associated with passion and joy. Supporters of losing teams have always felt sad and those of winners elated. More often than not supporters of losing home teams have started soccer riots, but the Port Said riot was incited by home supporters whose team had actually won.
