That stadium is not on fire. It is merely fans making sure the Polish Cup kicked off with an immolation....
Snapchat Vikings Fan Has One Thing Go Right In His Life
If you use Snapchat—probably not, because you read Deadspin and are statistically most likely to be an irritable dad with a law degree—you were probably captivated by the romance of the week.

Not every state has rules on the books making it illegal for men to covertly photograph a woman’s genital region just because she’s wearing a dress or a skirt. (I’m sure lawmakers in those states just have more faith in people’s inherent respect for women’s bodies.) But New York does. ...
