Hooliganism proves US sports fans have finally embraced soccer (VIDEO)
Soccer hooliganism reared its ugly head at a meeting between US rivals the New York Red Bulls and New York City FC when fans clashed ahead of a game on May 21st. In scenes reminiscent of the clashes seen between fans in the UK, police had to intervene as tensions between rival fans led to fighting and objects being thrown outside of Yankee Stadium, which New York City FC shares with the Yankees baseball team. New York Red Bulls fans are also reported to have ripped up and spat on New York City FC flags ahead of the game. Two arrests were made according to the NY Daily News, one fan from each side. The New York Red Bulls defeated New York City FC 7-0. English footballer Frank Lampard was booed when he came on as a substitute for City FC because fans had learned earlier this week that he earns $6 million per year – almost one third of the entire squad’s earnings. It’s not the first time violence has broken out between the rival fans. In August, ahead of the “Hudson River Derby,” they clashed outside a bar ahead of the game. There were hooligans wearing red or blue bandanas over their faces, acting as if this were some type of Bloods vs. Crips battle. It’s great to feel passion for your team, but let’s be real here; this isn’t about enthusiasm for soccer as much as it is about alcohol, testosterone and ill-conceived attempts to recreate the hostility of other rivalries across the world. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/soccer/video-nycfc-red-bulls-fans-clash-yankee-stadium-article-1.2645178/ * More On Link * New York City FC http://www.spotrac.com/mls/new-york-city-fc/frank-lampard/ |

"Hooliganism proves US sports fans have finally embraced soccer"
Ach..NO. Hooliganism is a European phrase. And fans covering there faces with bandanas is a Mexican thing. Perhaps, RT doesn't know the demographics or migration here. Or are just are just trying to be PC polite... Or they are just hoping... REAL Americans are embracing soccer.. To the point of frenzy.. Hhhaa.. No, guess again. |

That excuses Hooliganism? Nope. I am only reacting to why Frank Lampard earns way higher than his team mates. I am not excusing hooliganism. |
