Uruguay players defend decision to enter crowd to protect families amid Copa America brawl

Associated Press  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Uruguay striker Luis Suárez defended his teammates’ decision to enter the stands following a 1-0 loss to Colombia in the Copa America semifinals, saying the action was necessary to defend families and supporters. “Obviously when one has your woman, your little child, your father, elderly people you want to go and see if they’re OK,” Suárez said. “But then I learned there were some problems over there, unfortunately.” CONMEBOL has not said if any Uruguay players face suspension for entering the stands or throwing punches at Colombia fans. The governing body released a statement after the game saying it condemns any act of violence and that “we invite everyone in the remaining days to pour all of their passion into cheering on their national teams and having an unforgettable party.” The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department has not said whether arrests were made, and stadium officials have not commented publicly.
