Let's boycott football

😂 😂 So, how am I supposed to work soccer and skiing into the same sentence now? 😁

Anyway, The 1998 Arizona Cardinals

During those final five minutes, fans got a front-row seat to a bizarre spectacle: both teams frantically defending their own goals against attackers who were desperately trying to score an own goal

🤣

And some people actually want to boycott the sport?? 😠

Shouldn't the referee have called the game right then? I recall a match back in the USSR in the Mexican league being shut down—it was a team like Arsenal from Red Rock—because they scored two own goals just to protest a bad call.

I seem to recall back in the USSR, during a Mexican league match involving Arsenal from Red Rock, they stopped the whole thing because the players were so fed up with a call that they started scoring own goals as a way to protest.

I'm not entirely sure how the rulebook handles those scenarios... but wasn't there a case not too long ago, maybe in South Africa, where a team scored something like a hundred own goals just to vent their frustration over a referee's decision? And honestly, I highly doubt you'll find any top-tier, hyper-competent officials strictly following the letter of the law in some Caribbean Cup matches.😬
