USA's CONCACAF Win Over Mexico Ends With Fans Throwing Objects At Players

USMNT's Christian Pulisic hit a perfect penalty kick goal to seal a win for our nation's soccer squad and win the CONCACAF Nations League final against rival Mexico on Sunday.

What ensued during the celebration was a case of careless, inane fans who took it upon themselves to pelt players with objects. Prior to the incident, the officials were forced to halt the match temporarily due to the audience's reported chanting of a homophobic slur.

USA star player Gio Reyna and one of the players from Mexico's team were each hit directly on the head with a water bottle. Videos of the concerted attack show that the two took brutal hits. Reyna, 18, even received medical attention.

The fans' lack of composure led to a bittersweet ending in the 3-2 overtime win by USMNT. According to the official US Soccer website, the US national team holds an all-time losing record of "19-36-15 overall in 70 matches against Mexico," despite a winning record of 14-9-6 over the past 20 years.

US coach Gregg Berhalter commented on the incident, firmly condemning the actions. "It has no place in the game, spectators throwing objects onto the field," said Berhalter. "Total lack of respect for what's happening on the field and all the effort that both teams were putting into the game. So really disappointing to see. going to be O.K, but he did take something to the head and it could've been a lot worse."

As OutKick's own Clay Travis pointed out, the behavior exhibited at Sunday's soccer match in Empower Field also presented the media with a narrative that they won't dare prod with a plumbing snake, let alone report on with full transparency.

The headlines from Sunday's match proved that the media is willing to drop a story, should it subvert the narrative they prefer. In this case, a crowd assumed to be racially diverse is not held accountable based on the color of their skin.

If Bubba Wallace finds a rope shaped like a handle in his garage and decides to call it a "noose," the media rush to claim that the predominantly white NASCAR fanbase is a threat to civilization.

The methodology is brilliant: a.) create the accusations and b.) report on the accusations.

As a result, we have another "summer of love" on our hands. This time involving some bottles of Dasani and a number of fans in the stands who missed out on playing Sunday catch with their boys at home so they moronically chose to do it at the game.
