VIDEO: THE GREASY CRISCOCOPS ARE HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!

Football could be considered a religion in America and fans tend to get a bit overboard with their support of their favorite teams. A riot broke out in Philadelphia after the game at the Eagle's stadium causing police to intervene. People have described the football fan base as gangs, where fans of different teams will turn on each other in violent outbursts. While the police were eventually able to get the rioting crowd under control, they are still unsure of the cause.

In anticipation of further riots following the next game, they have literally greased the light poles to stop people from climbing up them. No, we aren't kidding. The police are literally walking around with buckets of grease to lather the poles. This is such a strange prospect that it even caught the attention of stars like Chrissy Teigen and Antoine Johnson. Twitter has exploded with comments on the greasy poles and of course, a flood of memes that came with it.

Chrissy Teigen: "I wish that at this very moment I were 95 years old with the plug to my oxygen within my reach"

Antoine Johnson: "It’s getting real in #Philly Greasing the polls in preparation for @Eagles game... #NFCChampionship"

Even other users jumped in saying:
"Not all heroes wear capes #CriscoCops"
While others said that the greasy poles would not stop crazed football fans and may even see it as a challenge tweeting: "All my life has been in preparation for the videos that will come from this. The #CriscoCops will lose this battle, and the poles will be climbed"

We still can't believe that cops literally buttered up some lamp poles!
