ESPN2 just showed a terrorism drill in the Euro 2016 pregame, complete with fans running in terror, fake blood and masked gunmen firing assault rifles.

Way to set the mood.

What are you complaining about? That's pretty much been French fans' experience in the last couple tournaments.

Did they remember to take the bomb out of the stadium this time?

No, it was still Euro 2016.

I don't object to ESPN doing a story on security. I didn't like the decision to show video of a fake terror attack.

Did anyone see the Euro 2016 opening ceremony on TV? I thought showing it was part of the pre-game, but it appeared to only be online and that stream didn't work.
