1/6/2004: Dutch fan ban

This was a European item that never made it to the states, so some of you have already seen it.

These gents are Dutch. On the right is Mayor Wim Deetman, posing gladly with a fan of the local football club (aka soccer team). What the Hon. Mr. Deetman doesn't know is that the fan's, er, unit is proudly on display. He learned that a few days later, when the image started getting distributed on the net.

Writing from Philadelphia, where the fans have a terrible reputation of being uncultured, uncivilized beer-bellied louts -- it gives me great joy to highlight fans of not just other cities, but altogether other cultures, acting worse than any Philly fan ever would. (Sure, we booed Santa Claus, but what they never report is what a crappy Santa Claus it was. And sure, we threw snowballs at Jimmy Johnson. Please - it was Jimmy Johnson! Enough said.)

The mayor apparently pressed charges, and the team banned the fan from their stadium.

It's the look on the guy's face that makes the shot.

full story

HA HA HA...

Yes, that is the look of "Please sir, may I now have my 15th Heineken?"

I know it well...


But sorry UT, I don't think anyone will ever surpass philly's fans... I mean, you guys booed a local boy during his homecoming at the NBA all-star game, when he got the MVP award...

Where's the love?


(of course, in retrospect... it *was* kobe... hmmm... )

I think the guy in the background knew.

Thanks Uk. I did take a look around for the full version, but didn't find it, I guess because I don't read the language.

Kobe: the kid said something totally disrespectful about Philly the week before the game. I can't remember what it was.

There was also:<ul><li> the Irvin injury booing (in which years of Irvin's taunting the crowd were forgotten);

<li>the San Francisco Monday night game in which a flair gun was fired, spawning the in-stadium courtroom;

<li>Kids fighting it out on national TV on the Phils' opening day;

<li>a Destiny's Child smackdown for wearing a Lakers logo (they deserved it)
</ul>
But they also flew down to Miami and took over the stadium for the Monday night game. How often does that happen? They also fill Carolina's arena for away hockey. Away hockey!

I don't remember how bad it was, but I do remember the one D.C. member being pretty unhappy about her treatment. Bah-hah.

It strikes me that the Dutch fan can still say that his love for his team is uncut.

Didn't JD Drew get smoked in the head when he was playing outfield by a bunch of fans throwing batteries at him as well?


I'm sure every city has wacky fan stories ... you just hear about them more often coming out of philly...

hah!

There's nothing wrong with being passionate. Being fairweather and ridiculous is another story...

I do think it's important to note that I said "in the United States." Some of the shit that goes on in Europe at football matches makes Philadelphia fans look charming.

Ewww!

After seeing that hideously deformed unit, I'm thinking of changing my tagline to Proudly Circumcised.

Jeez...how smashed do you have to be to forget to put your dick away, anyhow? I'd have thought he would end up face down in the urinal before being able to walk out of the john with his unit waving around.

Wait...do they even *have* urinals in Holland?

It wasn't an accident.

Re: Ewww!

Re: Re: Ewww!

Am I clueless, or is 99 intimating that she is familiar enough with NBN's genitalia to render a comparative aesthetic opinion?

I don't think I've ever known anyone who was uncircumcised, but then again, I haven't spent much time investigating, so your opinion about the whole matter is much better than mine could ever be. If you think it is unpleasant, that's good enough for me!

Never had any complaints in either state.

From experience:

Un-circd are more "fragrant" than circ'd.

There is an approximate comparison, but I hesistate to tell you, because I know you'll ask how I found out.

Are you trying to get an ass-whipping from Hubris, or what?

yuck

I sure hope he washed his hands.......
