There’s definitely something to be said about being able to talk the talk and walk the walk. There’s also something to be said about looking tough when you know you have the safety net whether or not things work out in your favor. Like this NYCFC fan who decided to go after an entire mob of Red Bulls fans and then immediately ran away.

Tensions were running pretty high leading up to the game at Yankee Stadium yesterday. Fans were doing things like running over the opposing team’s shirts with cars and heckling each other loud enough that the police had to get involved.

Red Bulls fans arrived and then it got nasty. Feels like England in the 80s… pic.twitter.com/VJIKyDYlC3

That’s not a good look for soccer fans. That sucks for soccer fans everywhere.
