Trash talking in sports has always been part of the game to get in the opposing team’s head and have that upper advantage. 

In professional sports you see it all of the time. Like in hockey, the fans let the opposition really hear it when a player from that team is in the penalty box.

Last weekend during the Kodiaks men’s soccer game a fan was ejected going a little too far with the trash talking.

Obviously the trash talking from the fans must have worked because close to the end of the game the opposition kicked the ball out of bounds towards the group that was chirping all game, drilling one of them in the face.

You can call it a coincidence but when you have a group of people trying to throw off your game and your team is losing, frustration does build up.

Earlier this year during a college basketball game between Florida State and North Carolina State, it wasn’t the trash talking that got the fan in trouble, but it was the person throwing a water bottle on the court, and had to leave the game because of his actions.

You can expect there to be those crazy fans in US college sports were the arenas are just as big as in the pro level but I was surprise to see that occur at a Lethbridge College soccer game. Where you do something stupid to distract a player you’re more likely to get ejected because there are less people at the event.

Also with sports comes the passion and definitely in pro sports where fans pay top dollar to watch their favorite team play.

Things to do get said during a game and when  there are thousands of people around a simple comment can escalate in a full out brawl like in the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs football game on Sept. 19, where three rows of fans got ejected from the game.

I think fans need to be more careful when it comes to expressing their feelings at sporting events because there are always cameras around, whether it’s a televised game or not.

If you’re doing something that does attract a lot of attention a video of you could be on the internet the next day.

Not only are the players involved but the fans as well.
