Social media, especially Twitter, went crazy over the fact that a “kid” was seen smoking throughout a Turkish friendly football game, intended to raise funds for cancer.
Nevertheless, it was later discovered that the young man who got everybody’s gears grinding was in actuality a very ‘youthful-looking’ 36-year-old father, that was attending the game with his own son.

Furthermore, with the massive following of both teams, it was agreed that all proceeds would be donated to organizations fighting against diseases like leukemia, as well as foundations supporting kids with Down Syndrome and autism.
