Sporting KC Goalie Jimmy Nielsen Hit in Face with Bobblehead (Pictures)

August 18, 2011 by Steve DelVecchio • Comments

Coincidentally, the last time we posted about Sporting KC it also had to do with crazy fans.  However, that incident was good, clean fun compared to what happened during Sporting KC’s game against the Portland Timbers on Wednesday night.  We see fans doing ridiculous things all the time so we really shouldn’t be surprised by anything, but sometimes people are so dumb it catches me off-guard.  I don’t care how much alcohol you have consumed or what type of mood you are in, throwing a bobblehead doll at a person should never sound like a good idea.

Unfortunately, some moron did just that Wednesday Night and the result was a prime example of why throwing stuff is stupid.  Check out the pictures of goalie Jimmy Nielsen after he got hit with a bobblehead, courtesy of Dirty Tackle:

Thankfully two people were arrested following the incident.  To his credit, Nielsen played it off and said “it’s no big deal” and “it happens.”  Deep down inside he’s probably furious, and who could blame him.  If it were me, I probably would have found the fan and shoved the Omar Bravo bobblehead somewhere less pleasant than his eye.
