Protest using plastic pigs halts English soccer game
COVENTRY, England — Pigs were flying at a football match on Friday.
Fans threw so many of the small plastic pigs on to the pitch that the protest against team owners of Coventry City and Charlton Athletic delayed the start of their English League One (third-division) match.
The incident happened before the match, and when it did start, less than a minute later more pigs were tossed.
The referee made both teams leave the pitch.
