Racing Club fans demand players deliberately lose in order to relegate rivals
Fans of Argentinian side Racing Club have circulated flyers instructing their players to deliberately lose to Quilmes on Friday evening in a ploy to help relegate despised rivals Independiente from the Primera Division as pay-back for an incident in 1983 when Independiente supposedly deliberately threw a game - also against Quilmes - that saw Racing relegated from the Argentine top tier.
The Racing fans’ flyer looks a bit like this, telling the club’s players that they will "rot in hell" if they don’t lose against Quilmes.
