Arsenal Fans Call For Boycott Of Costa Coffee After Saturday's Match

A British coffee company has become "entangled in the dramatic fallout from the clash between Arsenal and Chelsea, with Gunners fans calling for a boycott of the brand in retaliation for Diego Costa's antagonistic role in the match," according to David Sygall of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. Chelsea striker Costa was charged with "violent conduct by the FA following his side's win over Arsenal." Such was the fury felt by Arsenal fans, "an online petition began encouraging supporters of the London club to not purchase Costa Coffee, which is owned by British multinational company Whitbread." It was uncertain whether the proposed ban was "light-hearted or serious but, either way, the company seems to have taken it well" (SMH, 9/22).
