Sums it up for me.
I've played competitive 5-a-side for 20+ years (whether or not I'm still competitive is a matter of debate). Anyone thinking the game is free from anything like the above is deluding themselves.
I'd love to play in a game where that kind of shit didn't happen, and it's not something that I really do myself, but if you play football in anything other than the friendliest league in the world then that kind of stuff is going to happen all the time.
Spoiler alert: it happens in the women's game too, just nowhere near as often, but the women's game isn't free of it completely.
