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.

The message from the Biden administration to America! ...imho
The fathers of the kids on the teams should’ve taken action.
Thinking quickly, the police officer calculated which group could cause him the most problems and then swung into action after the other group. Fortunately, he arrived at his home safely after a hard day of law enforcement.
If they voted for this, then why does NYC have RCV...?

According to the NY Post, about 40 young men from two teams showed up for the game, but the 30 illegals men who appeared to be African migrants refused to leave the area. As a result, someone called for police, and when officers arrived, they still wouldnt leave.
In addition, the teams were on edge about the situation. “Even when the game is over, you don’t know if the illegals are 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,” explained Johansson, who is originally from Sweden, where migrants flooding the country had often clashed on the field.
For now, the illegals won since the team does not plan to return to that park.
“The East Harlem field is packed with teams competing with adults for weekend time on the turf, parkgoers said. Randall’s Island, which sits on the other side of the Harlem River, was converted into shelter space for 2,000 migrants last year at the expense of the popular youth soccer fields,” the Post article said.
In January, parents and students at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School were not allowed to attend class, and students were forced into online learning after Mayor Eric Adams (D) sent thousands of illegal immigrants to shelter inside the school’s gym, Breitbart News reported.
Adams forced Schools to Close to Shelter Migrants: “The school is now canceling its dances, concerts, special events, and sports programs because of the mayor’s edict,” the outlet said.
If there are no consequences, then the problems will keep happening.
Oh well, it was soccer after all.
Their parents are all Biden voters.

Gotham isn't voting for this.
Deep State steals NYC's elections, too.
That sums things up quite nicely.

“ Gotham isn’t voting for this.”
Oh, yes they are. And they’re getting it good and hard.

He'd be say the Indians could do a better job...
So long as the coppers just show up and then don’t enforce the law — the illegal aliens win.
That is the goal of this admin.
So what? Who gives a damn
NYC is no longer America
This city has no fire trucks for crowd control?
And they will vote gladly more Democrats into power
Or a group of about 20-30 guys with baseball bats would have taken care of things rather nicely — and afterwards dump these wetbacks on a leaky ship back to Africa.
