A universal truth remains that football is an emotion. The aura, cheering, fighting spirits, and the millions of hopes surrounding the game make it one of the most lucrative events to the eye. Oftentimes than not, this potpourri of emotions manifests itself on the field, and before one knows it, a bitter rivalry would have already birthed itself. Regardless of this trait’s rampant presence in football, the somber Welsh team of Wrexham AFC owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, exhibiting it sure comes as a surprise factor. Moreover, for their latest match against Yeovil Town, the horns stand locked in.

In sharp contrast to the fun and charming aura in their dressing rooms, the Red Dragons can turn quite fierce when it comes to competing.

Wrexham AFC bans Yeovil Town mascot from their grounds

Indisputable remains the fact that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are two of the calmest, most charming, and quick-witted stars in Hollywood. While their team did inherit these quirks, they have lately come across as fearsomely unhinged when challenged. In an escalation of their ongoing rivalry with Yeovil Town, the latter took to Twitter to announce that their mascot was barred from leading the players onto the field. The same soon triggered a heated social media exchange between the two teams and their fans.

An eye of rivalry followed the two teams ever since Aldi sponsored Yeovil for a match. Owing to this, the second round of the FA Cup fixture between the two teams at SToK Racecourse Ground stood as a key event. However, if the decision to ban the Jolly Green Giant was solely of the Red Dragons’ management or the broadcasters remained uncleared. Moreover, barring the lead-in, the mascot was free to roam about the stands or be present during the match.

The recent war of words on Twitter was closely preceded by the Deadpool 3 actor surviving a take-down call from Tyson Fury.

Ryan Reynolds wins over Tyson Fury in a remarkable show of dominance

World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury had recently called out Ryan Reynolds with plans to take him down in the build-up to Wrexham AFC’s clash with Morecambe. Fury was once close to inking a deal to acquire the latter but backed out at the last moment. Regardless, he has thrown his weight behind the team and was optimistic about a win during the two teams’ Football League Two clash. Yet, in vain.

A triple-scorer by Paul Mulin gave Wrexham a dominating standpoint as they thrashed their rivals with 6-0. The win was also marked with a cheeky response from the Free Guy star. Additionally, the show of skills by Wrexham’s players has drawn considerable attention from Championship Clubs. Looking to strengthen their teeth, the Red Dragons currently are on the lookout to source backup.
