In a weekend that saw some big sporting news like Max
Verstappen becoming the youngest winner in Formula One history and Stipe Miocic
knocking out Fabricio Werdum to become the UFC heavyweight champion, the
biggest news was unfortunately the evacuation of Old Trafford.
In what was supposed to be the last game of the season, Manchester
United’s game against Bournemouth never started after a package was found in
the stands of their stadium, Old Trafford. The ironic thing is that the
suspected package was actually a fake device accidentally left behind after a
training exercise. So the evacuation was prompted by a training exercise designed
to combat terror fears.
Jokes aside, a lot of people in Manchester are embarrassed
and angry over the mistake with the Greater Manchester's mayor calling for a
full inquiry and saying it was "outrageous". So in a weekend full of
great sporting news, the biggest sporting news is…a stupid mistake that took
place outside the sporting arena.
Talk about irony.
