Indian supporter says she was harassed after video post on Hong Kong fans’ actions

An Indian football fan living in Hong Kong, who goes by Yaga, claims she faced harassment both during and after a recent match. She posted a YouTube video describing how Hong Kong supporters allegedly threw water at her and flipped her off while she cheered for India from the home team’s section. Now, she says the backlash has spilled online, with abusive comments flooding her channel.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a heated sports moment—it’s a snapshot of how fandom can turn ugly, especially when national pride and social media collide. Harassment of female fans is a recurring issue in sports, and Yaga’s experience highlights how quickly hostility can escalate, both in stadiums and online. For Hong Kong, where sports events sometimes intersect with political tensions, incidents like this risk overshadowing the game itself.
