WE GOT OURSELVES A RIVALRY - Leicester City Player Tosses Chelsea's Flag After Winning The FA Cup, The Two Teams Get Into A Mid-Match Skirmish 3 Days Later
So two days ago we had the FA Cup Final between Leicester City and Chelsea. It was a wild match to say the least with Chelsea apparently tying the game on a Leicester City own goal with under a minute to go in regulation.
This isn't about VAR though, which is a fucking disaster. This is about how we need more disrespect like this in sports. I want players winning titles and just tossing a flag out of there like nothing. I love the move. You won, celebrate how you see fit. If it's 'disrespecting' a team flag, I'm all for it. I don't want people out here talking about sportsmanship. You know why? Because it leads to animosity, pettiness and a rivalry. That's even more true when the two squads meet up just a few days later in a must-win to stay in the top-4.
Wanna guess what happened?
You probably know.
Shit, you even had players from Chelsea admitting they were pissed:
Do I think it's stupid that they are mad? Of course. But it's what the pettiness is all about. Do I love that they took action? Absolutely. Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. And this little brouhaha with some pushes and a couple whiffed punches.
This is where I wish we had some playoffs for the Premier League though. I want to see these guys play again right away.
