The Spin

Narrative A

As chaotic scenes have marred the Copa America final in Miami on Sunday, it's shocking to learn that even Colombia's soccer chief has been involved in physical altercations with security guards. When even an authority exhibits unruly behavior, it's hard to expect anything different from ordinary fans.

Narrative B

First and foremost, it's key to stress that this incident has nothing to do with chaotic scenes seen outside the Hard Rock Stadium before kick-off. While the Jesurúns did have a brawl with officials, these charges are completely unjustified as the fight only started because security guards barred them in disregard of their official credentials.
