I was once evicted from Streatham Ice Rink during a Redskins game because I'd had the audacity to take my own beverage, in this case, a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label, of which I drank from copiously. The fact I was also hideously drunk on arrival is neither here nor there. Barstewards!
There's an NFL reporter on UK radio who refuses to call the Redskins by their name as he considers it racist. Which is why there may be a name change as it's not just him who thinks so. Perhaps if Streatham go the same way they could think of something more suited to being a South London team.

It's definitely not just him. There are quite a few newspapers and TV outlets in the US also refusing.


There is the debate about why the Kansas City Chiefs whose (majority white) fanbase don feathered headgear and do a tomahawk chop after TDs don't seem to come in for the same.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
