NJSEA Gorillas. Not Cool.

By: Dave Martinez | June 9th, 2008

Before anyone asks, all day today will be Argentina / USA posts.

And thanks to those already sending me pics. Very cool stuff. KEEP SENDING ME VIDS AND PICS!

Credit goes to Dave “Disco” Berger for this find - the brutal 500 lb gorillas of NJSEA were summoned to tackle the living hell out of a little kid who took a run on the pitch nearing the end of halftime and evaded those big bodied bullies. Then they tackle him like he is flippin Barry Sanders. Disgusting.

Are they just doing their job or did they cross the line? You be the judge . . .

    and if a terrorist wanted to attack us I’m sure it’d be a little more imaginative.

    we all know terrorist can’t attack things unless they are marked with flares.

    bouncers and security goons live for these moments.

    In part anyone who doesnt know that and set themselves up for this kind of reaction sorta deserves what they get.

    In another very big way however these guys should be ashamed of themselves for acting like stormtroopers not humans.

    ps. the Argentinean section was under constant security harassment too. seemed like every 5 mins there was something.

    I have read about numerous incidents of heavy handedness with Giants Stadium security during Red Bulls games and I condemn all of that. The ESC and others are great groups, great singers, and I can just imagine what type of tifo they would come up with if allowed. However…

    A fan has absolutely no business on the field. I don’t care how old this kid is, if he’s jumping on the field, he is in line for some big boy consequences. Don’t want to get tackled? Don’t jump on the field. Security has no idea what this kid has, what his intentions are, etc, no matter his age. You only need to look to the the fourteen year old boy and his father attacking a coach in Major League Baseball.

    lol Matt - excellent point. And the kid deserves whatever he is going to get, no question - but to tackle a kid like THAT - I mean, he was a feather weight nothing, running in the middle of the pitch, at halftime no less - had he gone towards the players, thats a different story. But that?

    Restraint is a word best used in practice.

    I’ll be honest though, if the US scored anywhere near the 90th minute I was charging the field, along with everyone else.

    Dave- I wouldn’t expect stuff at Harrison to change much. The streamers/flairs will probably be allowed but if you charge the field expect to be upended by a guy you hated in High School

    lol bmatt - again, I am not condoning the running on the field. Its just a little restraint would have been in order. They hit an 11 year old kid with a tackle meant for Rugby.

    The kid STILL got what he deserved for running out there. But the yellow shirts get way too carried away with the over excessive violence. And thats taking into consideration that the video doesnt show him getting his arms heavy handedly restrained.

    Thats true- but think about it…those guys PROBABLY aren’t soccer fans. They’re bored and confused…they saw something they could hit.

    That said…yeah..they’re assholes

    Also, I know that this is probably the wrong thread, but I REALLY like that US Soccer Don’t Tread On Me logo. Does anybody know where I could find that on a shirt/poster/scarf/blanket/throw pillow/duvet cover/tuxedo?

    Actually I can’t find decent US Soccer stuff anywhere.

    Wish they put as much energy into figuring out the stadium exit traffic as they did into tackling pre-adolesecents
