Fan pours beer on head of boy for wearing green at Bombers-Roughriders game
WINNIPEG — A young boy who went to his first CFL game in Winnipeg was harassed by other fans for wearing green and even had beer poured over his head.
The Bombers beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 17-10 in Saturday’s Banjo Bowl.
Janell-Marie Emond and her nine-year-old son, Taylor, were given tickets to the game, the first time seeing a professional football match.
Emond says people were swearing at her son because he was wearing a green sweater over his Bomber T-shirt, saying he was a Rider fan and he should go back to where he came from.
