❓ Which Chivas Player was it? Need your help

Ok guys, I need your help. At the Chivas game on Friday one of the Chivas players got really pissed off at whatever you were yelling at him during warm ups and kicked a ball into the stands as hard as he could (or it seemed to me). He missed you guys (I stand in the section next to you guys-E30), and thank god narrowly missed my head, but the ball hit a stair behind me and came back and hit me on the back. It hit me so hard it knocked the air out of me and it hurt the rest of the game. I have no doubt the player did this on purpose and meant to hit you guys and hurt you. While I am not a complainer I find this behavior totally uncalled for by a professional athelete. There is absolutely no excuse for a player causing harm to the other teams fans for any reason. I can't stop thinking what would have happened if he would have hit the little 4 year old girl standing next to me. I have written a letter to the Chivas office, but I do not know which player it was that kicked that ball? Can anyone here tell me????

Thanks!

Julia

Yes, his name is Garcia. He played keeper for the Goats in the second half.

Feel free to send a copy to the team but the only bunch that could do something are the league. Send it to Don Garber and CC Chivas. But I wouldn't hold your breath unless you have it on film.

Chivas USA seems like a real classy organization. "Futbol" indeed.

She might not have it on film, but there are plenty of witnesses that saw it happen. I saw him kick the ball, but didn't see where it went in the stands. But if you need witnesses, just ask, I'm sure that you could find a couple.

LOL...well if I had it on film my camera would be broken and then I would be REALLY pissed off. Im not asking for anything...I just think they should know what their players are doing, as it was totally uncalled for no matter what people were yelling at him. It shows unsportsmanship and professional athletes have to AT ALL TIMES act professionally. I would be just as mad if it hit one of you guys. Thanks for the info!

:banpoop: on the Chivas Patos Cabrones Pendejos Putos LMAO

Stupid goats. I was a witness, it hit a few rows behind us we were ducking when that ball came our way.

Even if there is no film, you should definitely send the letter.

Teams like Chivas need to know people pay attention to their behavior. Even though there may not be any official reprimand, your letter will let the league know what's going on and if it happens anymore, they'll definitelyl act.

The fact that Chivas plays with their emotions on their sleeves like that is a handy bit of information for future games.

We know for a fact now the crowd can affect the outcome of a game against Chivas.

YOu better believe it....We were in Garcia's head in 5 minutes...and that's not joke.

And we werent' even focusing on him, we were bashing Guzan (poor guy. I actually think Guzan is in a horrible situation playing for Chivas). Garcia's a puss and I can't wait to see him at RES next year.
