It would be a little naive to think that politics wouldn't play their part in the World's biggest sporting event. But this is a little crazy. According to a report in Canada, the North Korean fans in South Africa for the World Cup, are indeed hired Chinese actors. I heard this two days ago during the North Korea and Brazil match, and found it quite funny. I was a slight bit skeptical, but it makes some sense. According to the story, 1,000 of them are hired Chinese actors that have cheered for the Chinese in previous World Cups.
It's an interesting story nonetheless, and hopefully this is the extent of which politics will play in this magnificent occasion.
