A Fan Handcuffed Himself To The Goal During Today’s Everton-Manchester City Match

You’ve seen fans run onto the field. You’ve seen fans run onto the field, impersonate referees, and possibly incite bench-clearing brawls. You’ve even seen field-rushing dogs. But have you ever seen that rarest of beasts – the dual field rusher/handcuffer? Those who watched Everton beat Machester City 1-0 today got a look. And below, so will you:

So…why was that guy doing that, exactly? According to the Guardian, he was protesting the Irish airline Ryanair:

Never before has a Premier League match been interrupted by a middle-aged man protesting about Ryanair’s recruitment policies on the basis that his daughter did not get a job with the airline.

Well, she’s gonna score a cushy gig with Ryanair now.

Skip Bayless In G6 the one guy who'll have a "chip" on his shoulder is the one w/ a championship, the one w/ cut over his eye. This is Batman's Revenge.

Bomani Jones i think i'll be good. this, at least tangentially, is arguing religion, which i ain't doing. RT @dmnowell: Let the clock show 4:27 ET.

Bomani Jones well, we'll see how many tweets about lolo jones' and meagan good's celibacy i can read before i start being honest.

Skip Bayless How can NBA upgrade Hansbrough's to flagrant 2 but suspend only Haslem for protecting DWade & retaliating - yet not hurting Hansbrough?!
