NYC high school soccer game canceled after group of about 30 migrants refuse to leave the field — even after cops showed up

A high school soccer game at a public field in East Harlem was canceled after a group of migrants refused to leave the pitch so the kids could play.

“I directly asked them to leave and some of them kind of took it into consideration, but then four or five of them said, ‘You know what, f–k it, we don’t have to leave, we can do whatever we want,'” said Erik Johansson, the coach of the Manhattan Kickers 17-year-old boys travel team.

About 40 boys from both teams showed up on Sunday, April 14 at Thomas Jefferson Park for the 5 p.m. match.

The Kickers were set to face off against FA Euro New York.

But a group of about 30 men who appeared to be African migrants and spoke little English, wouldn’t leave — even when the cops showed up.

To resolve the conflict, the cops asked to see a copy of the club team’s city permit.

“When you show up with two teams in uniform, a ref and two coaches, usually nobody is asking to see your permit,” said Johansson.

By the time Johansson’s assistant was able to forward a copy of the Kickers’ permit, the game had been delayed 30 minutes and the teams didn’t feel safe.

“Even when the game is over, you don’t know if they’re waiting for you, so even if the cops kicked them out, it may not be over. So we just all agreed, this is too dangerous,” Johansson said.

In his home country of Sweden — which saw a massive influx of migrants in recent years — the clashes on the pitch were all too common.

“I have seen this before, I know how bad it can get,” he said.

If the cops arrested the “migrants” and cuffed them to the goalposts, the teams could take turns flogging them.

Problem solved forever.

What about asking to see the migrants’ permit to sit there?

I have said it before; this country is circling he drain at an ever increasing speed. I don’t like to say it and a lot of folks don’t appreciate hearing it, but I think it is right on target. And it will only get worse,anyone want to bet?

Cops are only as useful as the local governments allow them to be. The smart ones transfer to agencies that will let them do their jobs.

And they are right, because this country is run by evil that allows them to do that.

This does not bode well for our survival as a country.

Cops with tasers, rubber bullets, rock salt loaded shotguns, then lots of shackles. Problem solved.

‘You know what, f–k it, we don’t have to leave, we can do whatever we want,'”

That's actually like a lot of Leftists who are Americans. Like college students protesting by sitting down in the street.

I see that the African migrants are quickly assimilating by acting like some of their black American counterparts: listless entitled criminals. They will undoubtedly vote Democrat and demand reparations.
