Watch: Players in Greece protest refugee treatment, sit after kickoff

AEL Larissa beat Acharnaikos 2-0 in Greece's second tier on Friday, but it's what happened immediately after first kick at AEL Arena that merited attention.

Players and coaches from both teams sat down on the field for two minutes, reportedly in protest of the treatment of refugees. The game was played a day after over two dozen refugees perished in the Aegean Sea, adding to the climbing death toll in the region.
