Naked soccer

There are times when it seems like the above headline would be about the only way you could draw a crowd to a soccer game in the United States, but that's not what this is about.

The BBC reports (it has been a while since I've been able to write that phrase) that fans from competing Scottish soccer clubs -- the Rangers and Celtics -- gathered recently to take a group nude photo with the significant anatomical parts covered with partisan scarves. The picture is meant as a statement against the violence that's associated with soccer abroad, and I suppose the message is that underneath it all, they/we are all alike. Except for the scarves, of course.

So, whaddya think, do you see this happening between Ravens and Steelers fans any time soon?
