Lighten Up Fellow Hooligans
A policeman in Argentina was watching a futbol match while working it, standing down on the pitch. Terrible. You just can't get good help these days. To make things even worse, he cheered when his team scored a goal (his team won 3-0). Horror of horrors!
Imagine standing there on the pitch, watching your home town club win a match and thinking that it is appropriate to cheer! How dare he?!
The losing fans turned into hooligans and threw junk at him.
The result? He is suspended for 10 days.
What kind of mixed up world is this? Futbol is the biggest sport in the world. (Sorry, contrary to local popular belief, it is not NASCAR.) How could this man be expected to not get into the game? Perhaps the people who assigned him to the match should have asked which club he supports if they didn't want him to cheer. It's ridiculous to get upset at him for showing a little club spirit. Granted, he didn't need to get up in anyone's face and rub it in that his club won. But I doubt he did that. If the hooligans at the stadium can't let one person cheer for their club's victory, they need to take a serious chill pill. It wasn't the World Cup. It wasn't UEFA. It was one silly match.
In the words of Sgt. Hulka, "Lighten up Francis."
