Parents Warned Over Bad Behavior At Soccer Game
There are a lot of differences between American and English football (the English version: much more “foot”, much less steroids), but there’s one sad similarity - the behavior of a few bad fans/parents. The British news site Biggleswade Today (no, I did not pull that name from a Monty Python skit) reports that some locals are incensed over the boorish behavior exhibited by some parents at a youth football/soccer match/game.
Yeah, we in the States have our share of loser dads taking out their feelings of inadequacy on fellow spectators, players, and refs. But the British can put a classy spin on anything. Here’s how the site puts it: “Coupled with the sight of one of the fathers relieving himself publicly in the dividing hedge, this does little to encourage support of more pitches on the new field – particularly when the pavilion was open and available for such calls of nature and is a public order offence…With such examples is there any wonder some youths are behaving anti-socially.”
Or, in American English: “Dude. Don’t piss on the field. Use the shitter. There’s kids watching, jackass.”
