Chapter 775: Enduring
Abuse, curse, and humiliation.
Overwhelming.
The situation is gradually getting out of control. This is the other side of competitive sports. It is dirty and ugly, violent and twisted, and it is not beautiful.
Maybe there is no grudge between the two cities, maybe the fans are complete strangers, maybe everyone who leaves the team is an ordinary person like you and me in real life, but they are in a hostile position because of winning or losing in competitive sports. Tear each other into countless pieces.
Verbal attack, this is still a trivial matter——
Just block it, as long as you don’t look at social networks, the world will be quiet.
Personal attacks, however, were a different story and things escalated.
A group of New England Patriots fans arrived in Kansas City five days in advance. At first glance, they knew they were homeless people who did not need to work. They sneaked into the parking lot of the Kansas City Chiefs training facility and used paint, paint, eggs, and wet wipes to destroy it. Three Kansas Chiefs team buses.
As a result, the doorman noticed the scene through surveillance video.
The doorman showed up and tried to evict them, but was tackled, punched, kicked, and laughed uncontrollably by six New England Patriots fans.
In the end, the doorman suffered severe injuries such as broken ribs and a broken arm, including internal bleeding. If the stadium security had not discovered it in time and called an ambulance, the consequences would have been unimaginable and life-threatening.
The Kansas Chief immediately called the police and through the parking lot surveillance video, he accurately caught the six suspects and prepared to prosecute them.
Clearly, things have gone too far.
For this reason, Li Wei was furious when he learned about it, and became angry in a rare way.
"A bunch of cowards."
"If you have the guts, you should come to me. I don't condemn you for bullying the few. You know where I live and where I work. You are welcome to come to my door at any time."
"A group of people attack an unarmed ordinary person who is over 50 years old. It just shows that you are cowardly and incompetent. If you are afraid of losing and ask us to be merciful, just ask, I will not laugh at you."
Full firepower.
Everyone who is familiar with Li Wei can see that Li Wei is extremely angry.
And it’s not just Levi.
Everyone in the Kansas City Chiefs was furious, and Reed, who always welcomed everyone with a smile, rarely issued a formal denunciation in front of the media——
Severe condemnation.
Similar things are common in the UK. Football hooligans are notorious. Every time they see football hooligans running rampant in the European Cup or the Premier League, the North American media rushes to express strong condemnation and proudly emphasizes that the four major North American leagues are not like this. of gangsters.
I never expected that I would be slapped in the face this time, and it would be such a vicious incident. One or two British media couldn’t wait to add insult to injury and started to mock them. They even emphasized that the New England Patriots are the most successful team in the NFL since the millennium. , can be called the face of the alliance——
Now, not only the media were ashamed, but league officials were also furious.
Brush brush brush.
Arrows all point to the New England Patriots.
For a moment, the New England Patriots were like street rats.
The New England Patriots know they are in the wrong, and Belichick and Brady have also publicly stated that they strongly condemn such behavior and will never tolerate adultery.
However, apologizing won't help. On social networks, the back-and-forth war of words continues to escalate. New England Patriots fans have no repentance at all and are even adding fuel to the fire and applauding the thugs; or they think that the parking lot incident was a frame-up. conspiracy--
"Someone wants to harm me."
Horrible, ugly, twisted, and all kinds of comments are flying all over the Internet.
Regardless of the fans' personal behavior or Levi's response, all were considered targeted attacks. "You are targeting me." As a result, fans of both the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs broke out, using the Internet as a battlefield. , launch a battle in all directions.
Things were getting worse and worse, and they had long gone beyond the scope of a game.
There is no doubt that it has now evolved into a fight to the death. From inside the game to outside the game, from the fans and even the entire city, everything has entered a state of tension.
Although the meeting between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs didn't need to fan the flames to be tense; now things are clearly out of control, and the sparks and smoke between the two teams continue to intensify.
Comparable to a powder keg.
Of course, the NFC Conference finals were no slouch either.
Between the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams... there is even more history.
In 2002, the league redistributed divisions and finally formed the current division configuration; before that, the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams also belonged to the National League West Division. The two sides were mortal enemies in the same division for half a century. There have been times in history. Countless focus showdowns.
After the league was re-divided, the two teams belong to different divisions, but the grievances and resentments between them are still an important topic in the league.
Leaving aside the game, off the field, the two teams are also entangled.
During the 2012 season, the Los Angeles Rams - who were still the St. Louis Rams at the time - secretly contacted New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in an attempt to poach someone; but they never expected that a week later, the NFL would break out The "Bounty Gate" shocked the alliance.
The protagonists of "Bountygate" are New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Greg Williams. Members of the coaching staff provide bonuses to defensive players to encourage them to use dirty methods to deliberately injure opponents. , Greg Williams is considered the main planner.
The incident shocked the entire league. This was an act without competitive spirit and professional ethics.
In the end, Greg Williams was suspended indefinitely and Sean Payton was suspended for one year.
Rumor has it among New Orleans Saints fans that it was the St. Louis Rams who tried to poach Greg Williams but failed, so they reluctantly took him out——
Of course, there is no evidence; but that doesn't stop New Orleans Saints fans from throwing all the dirty water on their former rivals in the same division.
What's even more incredible is that two years later, Greg Williams was finally released from the ban through continued appeals. His first job back was as the defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams.
New Orleans Saints:…
Other teams and fans around the league:…
Now, the New Orleans Saints are about to face off against the Los Angeles Rams. It is worth mentioning that this is only the second time in the history of the two teams that they have met in the playoffs.
The last time it happened was in the 2001 season, when the Los Angeles Rams were at their peak and had just reached the Super Bowl two years ago and were hailed as the "Great Showtime"; however, the New Orleans Saints upset their rivals in the wild card round. , and won the first playoff game in franchise history.
In the blink of an eye, seventeen years have passed. Despite the changes, the grudges between the old enemies will not be forgotten. The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams are also sharpening their knives. Only one person can leave standing.
The smoky atmosphere is about to explode.
The National League has the historical origins of the National League, and the American League has the grudges and grudges of the American League. But there is no doubt that the two conference finals will not be boring. Everyone is gritting their teeth and sharpening their knives and getting ready.
