What a bunch of sore losers…I don’t ever remember seeing the playing field lined with cops before because a bunch of babies can’t stand to see their team lose, or better yet, can’t stand to see their team not get away with cheating. Yet another reason to hate the Yankees. What a disgrace.
Clearly, New York riot officers have a lot to learn about rowdy sports crowds.
British police will tell you- when you’re supposed to be keeping fans off the field, you’re supposed to watch the stands, not the game.
Of course, this is pretty much just evidence of the fact that American sports fans are generally* well-behaved.
raises glass Here’s to the Red Sox, the team I don’t really like but aren’t the Yankees.
*I know, I know, there was that Kansas City father-son coachbeating incident and Steve Bartman needed a dozen police officers just to get out of Wrigley Field alive, but if you’ve ever been to a Dons match you’ll understand.
Well Yankee fans are about the only ones who don’t routinely burn down part of their city when they win these days. I guess it balances out.
Exactly.
It should also be mentioned that this exact incident happened in Boston in 1999.
