In the grand scheme of things, how is this a scandal? Seems like a genuinely funny gesture in a time when it’s dangerous to have actual fans in the stadium to watch the game. Heck, it’s better than the Wisconsin version, with fans crowding into a bar to watch the game.

The real question is, which team official or player lent them his collection?

In an arena where we kick our balls, no one can get kicks for their balls!

Don’t sex dolls get a day off?

I’m a sex person but no one complains when I put on clothes and go to a match.

My first thought reading the headline was along the lines of, “This is an expensive prank”. If you fill a stadium with the cheapest blow up dolls, that is a giant chunk of change.

I see that it was very sparsely populated with the much more expensive kinds. But the signs advertising the company that makes them makes it clear where they came from.

It’s not even close to the most embarrassing soccer team sponsorship in the world. MLS teams seem to love being sponsored by pyramid schemes. And there’s always Arsenal.

It’s not an apocalypse until the sex dolls and mannequins have their day in the sun.

ETA it looks like the top row is flat standees.

ETA2 I wondered what the thumbs up sign on that right-hand doll is for. Then my imagination started offering suggestions. Sigh.

Yeah, I was wondering how the hell anyone could afford to buy them (and then have them just sitting out somewhere), when I read the bit about the signs. Still - that’s some expensive advertising.

They’re wearing masks and social distancing, what’s the fuss about?

I am sure the toy company packed them back up and sold them as “Open Box”.

Who are the figures for? The TV audience, right?
If so, why not just composite an image of a packed house from previous games?
