PARIS (Worthy Satire) – In a dazzling display of athletic nationalism and completely coincidental arson, major media outlets have confirmed that the recent torching of Paris was not a riot — but rather a “fiery but mostly peaceful celebration” of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League victory.
“Nothing says ‘We love soccer’ like overturned cars, shattered storefronts, and chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ while hurling Molotov cocktails,” said one CNN correspondent, ducking behind a burning bus shelter for safety. “This is just how Parisians express joy now — like fireworks, but with insurance claims.”
French officials reported two dead, hundreds arrested, and widespread destruction across multiple cities, but insisted the chaos had “no known links to extremism,” just “deep passion for football and mild recreational looting.”
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin praised law enforcement for their restraint. “Only 73 police cars were damaged. That’s down from last year’s Bastille Day block party, so we call that progress.”
Meanwhile, social commentators celebrated the “cultural vibrancy” on display. “France has always been a mosaic of identities,” said one expert on public radio, “and sometimes mosaics explode.”
Eyewitnesses noted that rioters waved Palestinian flags and chanted anti-Israel slogans, but officials assured the public this had “absolutely nothing to do with politics” and was simply “multicultural fan enthusiasm.”
In response, President Macron announced a new initiative: “Stadiums Not Streets,” where future demonstrations of joy will be confined to arenas, parking lots, or designated safe-burning zones.
As cleanup crews hosed graffiti off the Arc de Triomphe, one local sighed, “At least they didn’t flip the Eiffel Tower this time.”
