Passionate Show of Love: Fans Throw Soft Toys on Pitch for Children Affected by Quake
Fans of the Turkish soccer club Beşiktaş J.K. demonstrated great spirit of love and solidarity on Sunday by throwing thousands of soft toys onto the pitch during the match against Antalyaspor for the children affected by the devastating earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria earlier in the month.
As the clock stroke 4:17 in the game, fans started to throw the stuffed toys to signal the time of day that the first earthquake struck the region on Feb. 6.
Many of the toys were stuffed bears, rabbits and other animals in a touching, widespread donation to children affected by the earthquakes.
Touching Moment
The touching moment was widely praised on social media.
