@nbc10boston: Scotland fans' latest shenanigans in Boston during the World Cup involve putting traffic cones on the heads of statues. Why is the Tartan Army doing that? It's a tradition back in Glasgow, the country's biggest city. #nbc10boston #boston #news #video #fyp

People who are upset by this are the same people who get offended at comedy shows.

Starting in the 80s I'm Glasgow people would traffic cones on the Duke of Wellington statue. It became a back and forth between the locals and the council/police removing it. Usually within a couple of hours of it being removed it, it was put back on. This went on for decades until they eventually gave up and don't try and remove it now. It has became a symbol of Glasgow and Scotland. Banksy named it his favourite piece of art in the UK.

If Boston Beer Co doesn’t put a traffic cone on a special brew of Sam Adams, they’re missing an opportunity.

I wouldn’t even want a statue made of me if Scots didn’t want to put a traffic cone on it. What would be the point?
