Crowds protest against Lula da Silva, who banned bets?

On September 25, Lula da Silva signed a provisional measure banning virtual casinos and sports betting in Brazil, sparking backlash from organized fan groups of Corinthians and Flamengo. Lula stated that gambling exploits the poor and urged honest ways to earn money. The football clubs expressed concerns over potential financial losses from sponsorships due to the ban. Videos showed fans protesting, but these were misrepresented as anti-Lula demonstrations; they were actually recorded during a match celebration. Despite opposition to the betting ban, Corinthians congratulated Lula on his recent electoral victory. Claims of fan protests against Lula are false, as the videos were taken out of context.
