MLS fans have been ramping up the hooliganism lately, mostly in the New York/New Jersey area. This is not in itself surprising, as hooliganism emanates naturally from the New York/New Jersey area.
What is surprising, however is that one of New York's finest deployed a stun gun on a New York City FC fan outside a NYCFC game at Yankee Stadium. It's not entirely clear what the fan did to deserve having thousands of volts of electricity pulse through his body, but it must have been really bad, considering what New York City cops have to deal with on a daily basis.
And we thought NYCFC's fan base wasn't very passionate just because the team has no history, no stadium and is just a corporate little-brother to a real soccer club ad has no soul. Shame on us. Or maybe the guy is just writhing around because he saw Andrea Pirlo's version of defense and went into convulsions.
