L.A. Kings Fans Celebrate Stanley Cup Win by Taking Down a Drone

It’s Drones & Sports Weekend, apparently. Just after France’s soccer team complained to Fifa about a drone potentially spying on their practice, Los Angeles Kings fans celebrated their deserved victory over some other team in the Stanley Cup Finals by downing a drone that appeared to be monitoring the jubilation.

The action was captured on an Instagram video, where a debate sprang up over whether it was an LAPD drone:
