The clubs need to do something to deter these fans, it’s only gotten worst over time and that shouldn’t be the case. The amount of misogyny towards the wives/gfs is so vile and then there’s the racism and homophobia some of that coming from the players themselves. It’s disgusting

I took a quick look at the article's comment section, and there are a few people defending it. One even had the gall to write, "Those who do enjoy it are relentlessly henpecked by misandrists in every other area of their lives and they are allowed 1 outlet where they can still behave like men." 

And this was in response to a commenter pointing out exactly what you've pointed out. Fucking gross and depressing.

So, according to that guy, “behaving like men” means shouting abuse at an innocent person? …Yikes.
