Pitch Invasion Law

My initial reaction to the proposed law where pitch invaders can be jailed for up to three months and fined $5,000 was pretty negative. Existing laws can cope I would have though.

But I can understand the commercial sensitivity. If Coke has paid $2 million to sponsor a world cup match, and someone runs onto the pitch in a pepsi logoed top, that is unfair, and something which is happening more and more.

So I have a solution.

Make it an offence to run onto a pitch or ground, unless the person doing so is naked 🙂

That way the potential for ambush marketing is halted, yet the fine tradition of streaking continues.
