None of those ppl know the animal that is Soccer. We are fine. Most of those ppl have never seen a soccer game probably. Life goes on.

ugly folks are sensitive... they probably can relate w/ Thora.

I wasn't there, but based on the descriptions, I think calling it classless is pushing it. Was it over the top? Sure. But keep in mind soccer fan issues aren't measured by what's said, it is measured by how many fans get killed due to hooliganism that makes lubbutt football games mirror a Sunday School class.

As far back as the early 90's, the baseball games were ruthless to opposing fans. One guy's last name once was "Moody." The fans chanted, "1-PMS, 2-PMS" etc. on each of his pre-pitch swings. That's a fairly mild example.

I guess the real issue is that since this is a women's sport, should there be a little less joshing? That's a reasonable position, but I still think its debatable.

Would I have done it? No. Would I have tried to encourage others not to do it? Probably. Do I think it was (again, based on the description) totally sick and classless? I honestly don't think so.

believe me, it was hilarious.

Was at practice a couple days ago, during practice a ball was played towards KJ who kicked it away. Cristina contiued a jog toward KJ and softly jumped into KJ mimicking the duke girl. KJ pushed CE away and a coach yelled "you know what happens to anyone who does that to KJ". It was very FUNNY and entertaining. Too bad no one barked or grunted to minic the duke goalie.
