Fans Behaving Badly
Unnecessary. Fans can sometimes get aggressive and we completely understand but when fans start to get physical and start punching each other then it’s definitely WRONG & UNACCEPTABLE. Loud boos & whistles are considered normal but to FIGHT especially during a match needs to be resolved immediately. For example… Some Tianjin Fans are known to […]

A devastating injury during a league match has ended Simone Parodi’s hope of playing in upcoming Italian League Playoffs with Team Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo.

Russell Holmes <3 His Fans!

As his fan, we appreciate Russell for doing this. Russell Holmes = Great skills & […]

Shocking! Seriously! Coach Andrea Anastasi’s 25 player roster excludes a few Polish superstars and we are quite surprised. We don’t know what real deal is on why the STARS are not on the roster but hopefully they will rejoin the squad later in the season knowing that Poland will need its best squad to defend […]
