BELGIUM - Usually, throwing objects onto the soccer field is frowned upon, but in this case, fans did it for a heartwarming reason.
Fans of the Belgian soccer team Charleroi threw hundreds of toys onto the field weeks before Christmas. The toys are so underprivileged children will have something under the tree for the holiday.
Hundreds of toys littered the field, and delayed the game for a couple minutes.
The match ended in a tie, but the real winners are the children.
