THOSE ODDS ARE HARDLY FAIR:

In Fútbol-Mad Argentina, Ms. Rubeo Teaches Soccer Fans to Play Nice: Hooligan Etiquette Bans Rock Throwing, Provoking Police; 'Big Baby' Learns a Lesson (MATT MOFFETT, 9/18/08, Wall Street Journal)

For years, the roughneck fans of the Huracán soccer club often put on more of a show than the players did. Boasting in a fight song that they "root with wine and drugs," they battled police with rocks, fought rival fans with chains and vandalized everything from cars to bleachers.

But at a recent Huracán game, the tough guys were kept in check by a woman sporting a Chanel handbag.

You have to at least take her weapon away if the soccer fans are to have any chance in a fight.
