What do you suppose would happen if a dozen venomous snakes were slithering all over a football stadium in the U.S.? Mass exodus, right? Not in India.
From The Indian Express, via ESPN:
A dozen poisonous snakes were spotted at the Kalyani Stadium, the venue at which Mohan Bagan beat Arrows 3-2 during an I-league fixture on Sunday. None of the players or the ball boys were bitten but the snakes were spotted near the dressing rooms and on the field of play after full-time. Officials of the Kalyani Municipality ensured that the snakes were removed from the stadium. The All India Football Federation (AIFF), however, is unlikely to ban the Kalyani Stadium as an I-League venue.Read more here.
