Belgian Soccer Game Halted by Fukushima Comments

[rpannier]

BRUSSELS - A Belgian soccer game was temporarily stopped on Saturday after visiting fans taunted Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima over the recent Fukushima nuclear disaster.

The referee halted the match between Lierse SK and Beerschot after some Beerschot supporters began chanting: "Kawashima-Fukushima."

The match resumed after a delay of several minutes and ended in a 1-1 draw. Kawashima left the field in tears and said later he could forgive many insults, "but not this."

2. Beerschot should have to forfeit the match.

And those supporters' should be banned. Unacceptable nastiness.

In 2005 when Alabama fans threw full cans of dog food at us (lsu fans) screaming

"here are your FEMA rations" we were told by the SEC that it didn't matter because they had a sticker on their helmets so they "cared."

Probably the best beer in the world. Which I'm sure explains their disgusting comments.
