Reply to comment by AudibleNod in Rainbow flag pitch invader released but banned from rest of World Cup by 420ipblood

When this story first broke every article called him a "pitch invader". I guess it's just the term that the people who call soccer "football" use for "idiot who runs onto the field".

You're correct. I think they use the same term in baseball and American football too, isn't it? I am seriously asking because I get mixed up w/ terms like that.

Not used in the slightest in American sports, this is the first time I’m hearing the phrase as an American sports fan.

Thanks for the response. I have dual citizenship. My parents are English and several of my friends but I have grown up in the US. Quite often, I get mixed up as to where I heard things.
