One Direction Incurs Wrath From Swarm Of Soccer شائقین — Tomlinson’s Betrayal? 

One Direction always keeps us on our toes with their love life updates, new music, and constant tour dates. Regardless, there are certain headlines that no one expects to see in relationship to One Direction. In particular, we never expect One Direction to become the enemies of sports fans en masse — but they have somehow managed to do it anyway.

Outside of this recent hornet’s nest stir-up, One Direction is touring Southeast Asia and the band is proving to be wildly popular in all corners of the globe. For instance, One Direction concerts over the past two weeks that were held in Singapore, Thailand, and

However, it seems that there is one group that is unhappy with One Direction — and it is soccer fans. Hey wait, doesn’t One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson currently play soccer in Doncaster, England?

Yikes! Did soccer player Louis Tomlinson know about this beforehand? Is he worried that this incident with One Direction will tarnish his reputation with fans that root for him in soccer games back in England? For now, One Direction has not given a response — and certainly have not supported any direct betrayal to the worldwide soccer family. After all, while they are the brunt of Indonesian soccer fans’ anger, the true onus lies with the Jakarta concert venue managers who make the ultimate decision about who gets to use their stadium.
