A top public university in Bangladesh has closed indefinitely after students clashed over whether to cancel classes to watch the World Cup. [...]
The decision was made late Saturday after at least five students were injured in violence between two groups of students.
One group demanded an early summer vacation so they could watch football on television without any tension. They asked other students not to attend classes or take tests and locked the university's main gate, prompting clashes with senior students who wanted classes to continue.
No date has been set for when the university will reopen.[...] cbc.ca
The fanatical football fans get their way, after all. Ugh.
It's fine if some students want to prioritize watching football over their studies, but you can't get more selfish and egotistical than the students who decided to impose their will on others who didn't place football over education or were able to accomplish both.
Life isn't perfect. That's life. Accept it and deal with it -- preferably without making life worse for everyone else.
