Cardinals fans exiting NLDS Game 3 found themselves in the middle of a peaceful group of Ferguson protesters outside Busch Stadium Monday night — and not everyone was happy after the home town win.
The exiting fans immediately begin chanting "USA USA" and "Africa Africa" until tensions rose to an ugly level.
The tragic incident where Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer in August seems to have turned Cards fan against Cards fan. Some Ferguson protesters had vowed to disrupt NFL games and even the World Series games if the Cardinals make it there.
