My son would never do this -- he knows the proper way to give the "1-finger salute". Saw this happen at a varsity game last year (I was observing) and his mother ripped him a new one, right in the stands. Kid was about 6 or 7 and he was crying big time when the mother took him outside.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the kid is wearing a Feyenoord (Soccer club in Rotterdam) shirt and is no doubt giving some other piece of soccer loving Euro trash a confirmation on his IQ. Soccer fans are the worst!

Hmmm, I'll go you one further. More likely than not he was responding to a drunken English soccer fan. They were undoubtedly debating whether one finger or two is the superior method for conveying "international goodwill."

Actually, that's not the club's logo - it's the logo of Kappa - a soccer equipment company. It's actually supposed to be a man and a woman leaning up against each other - probably as well known in the FEEBLE world as the Nike "Swoosh" is known here.
