Arsenal's Captain Was Booed At Home, So He Told The Fans To Fuck Off, Chucked His Jersey And Left His Teammate Crying
This is a major story across the pond and with a major soccer club. Granit Xhaka is the captain of Arsenal and quite visibly getting into it with Arsenal fans when he's getting subbed out of a game in which Arsenal tied Crystal Palace 2-2 at home. Personally? I love it. You just love to see Arsenal struggle and in disarray, mostly because that's how I live my life as a Spurs fan.
But, we can all agree no matter what you think of this club, a teammate crying is bizarre right?
Obviously I'm all for team spirit, but this is taking it to a weird level. This is just fans frustrated with your captain. He's not sick. He's not off the team. He got booed and told fans to fuck off. This isn't just a regular cry too, my man here is weeping. You're on the sidelines warming up! What are you doing?
I have no problem with either side here though (outside of the crying). Fans have a right to boo. Players have a right to react. If you want to react by telling fans to fuck off and dropping your jersey so be it. If you want to keep booing that player and tell him he fucking sucks, so be it. That's the beauty of sports.
That said, pissed off English soccer fans have to be terrifying.
