Supporters Clashed In The Streets Before The Red Bulls-New York City FC Match

Supporters Clashed In The Streets Before The Red Bulls-New York City FC Match

Saturday- 5/21/16

This blurry, cargo-shorted gentleman striking a come at me, bro pose amid a crowd of soccer fans and police outside Yankee Stadium? He’s your mascot for a bunch of chest-puffery and general ass-showing before the Red Bulls and New York City FC played in the Bronx today.

The so-called Hudson River Derby between the Gotham area’s two pro soccer teams has become an occasion for supporters of the respective clubs to sling insults and threaten each other with softcore violence. Only months removed from a garbage-throwing, sandwich-sign-swinging contretemps in Jersey, today’s dustup was large, loud, and dumb. As documented ably by soccer reporter Garry Hayes, it started with some sad taunting …

… percolated into disorganized abuse …

… and culminated in an off-off-off-Broadway Among the Thugs production.

The ‘bomb’ that forced Manchester United to abandon its game turned out to be a giant mistake

The ‘bomb’ that forced Manchester United to abandon its game turned out to be a giant mistake

By: | May 15, 2016

Manchester United’s final game of the 2015/16 Premier League season was abandoned on Sunday after security concerns that had previously forced two stands to be evacuated. The game had been scheduled to start at 3pm (GMT).

No immediate explanation had been giving following the evacuation, only that the stadium was experiencing a “code red” security threat.

The game was rescheduled for the following Tuesday but then, in a somewhat surprising twist, local police revealed that the bomb in question was actually a device left there as part of a training exercise for bomb-sniffing dogs.

According to the club’s official website:

“Following today’s controlled explosion, we have since found out that the item was a training device which had accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise involving explosive search dogs.

“Whilst this item did not turn out to be a viable explosive, on appearance this device was as real as could be, and the decision to evacuate the stadium was the right thing to do, until we could be sure that people were not at risk.”

Buenos Aires Football Club Tests Implanting A Microchip In Fans To Help With Stadium Security

Buenos Aires Football Club Tests Implanting A Microchip In Fans To Help With Stadium Security

May 3, 2016

As many sports fans can certainly attest, waiting in line is often one of the most inconvenient aspects of going to a sporting event, especially a popular one with large crowds all trying to enter through a handful of entry ways in a given stadium.

While technology can often only take this so far with the constant need for security at these events, one team is trying to improve their fan experience and make this process a little less painful in a very unique way.

A Buenos Aires-based football club, Club Atletico Tigre is reportedly considering offering its fans an implantable microchip that would enable attendees of the game faster access through the turnstiles and in turn allow them to get to their seat faster with less hassle.

While this seems to be a potentially dangerous next step and health risks would be a relevant worry, the club recently had team director Ezequiel Rosino act as a test case for the program and had a chip injected under his club tattoo.

He then told the Associated Press that the chip will not be able to track fans, but will only carry their basic information about them for team security purposes.

While reports of the program have already begun to surface, it still has a long way to go before actual implementation and still has numerous hurdles with local health and security agencies that undoubtedly will have a few questions to ask the team’s management. The program would also need to be cleared by the Argentine Football Association itself, even if it clears the initial governmental inquiries.

Technology and soccer are becoming more and more synonymous these days and while this could be an unconventional step, it’s good to see technology being put to use to increase stadium security and improve the fan experience.
