Around SBN: New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Ring Unveiled

I don't blame him for leaving. We all go with what we think is the better career option, after all... But somehow I'm starting to like pool fans...

I'm probably the only one that finds this amusing

But LFC fans taunting City players about having a chance at winning anything is just hilarious

No, you definitely are not the only one who sees the irony there

honestly that’s the best part of this to me

i'm not cool with this

Leave the hate on the pitch. Not one of those guys actually knows Nasri in person, yet they stalked him off the pitch to harass him. They literally waited for his car to leave the stadium to attack him that’s not right.

My take was that they ended up just seeing him driving, taunted him, then let him be after he drove off.

Pretty harmless if you ask me. Much more harmless than using racist chants on the pitch/in the stands at least.

it's not harmless at all to me.

When someone pulls up alongside you on the rode and starts shouting at you, that is a threat.

Does just the fact that he is a well known soccer player give them any more right to do this? It does not. There is a divide between sports fandom and real life, and those guys crossed it in my opinion.

I guess it was more disrespectful than I'd like fans to be, but I just don't see it as a threat.

Nasri gets tons of attention (both negative and positive) because he’s a celebrity. If he felt threatened, he didn’t have to roll down his window. And when he drove off, it didn’t appear that they chased after him. I agree that there is a line that fans shouldn’t cross when it comes to engaging celebrities in public, but I think these guys were ok about it

they were completely fine. stop being a stiff.

This team will be the death of me.

no they were not completely fine. If some asshole pulled up to me while i'm driving and started shouting at me, I would be quite angry.

If that doesn’t bother you, fine. I’ll be as “stiff” as I like, thank you.

I agree

People can be as awesome or as douchey to whoever they want. When you do it while driving you’re endangering lives. That’s where they crossed the line.

Captain, there are doubt''s...

1. nasri slowed and rolled down his window to engage in an exchange with them.
2. they did not say anything that crosses the line. it was playful.
3. lighten up.

This team will be the death of me.

by NYflyGUY on Jan 14, 2012 7:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Just because they think it's playful doesn't mean that it's safe

I would have honestly freaked out if a bunch of drunk guys I don’t know drove up next to me and insulted me.
