The Los Santos Benders is a soccer team in Los Santos which parodies most British soccer teams and the behavior of their fanbases. The team has its own radio commericals and sells season tickets for $50 (though they can't be purchased by the player). It tries to attract attention to soccer by letting visitors catch up with "European-style chanting" (which are actually blatant insults targeted at the opposite team) and to give them the opportunity to commit race crimes, get into post-game riots, violent fights between team supporters and to experience the "joys of mass hatred, xenophobia and alcohol abuse".
Trivia
- The team's name is probably a nod to the film Bend It Like Beckham.
- "Bender" is UK slang for homosexual.
- One of the team's radio ads features a sampled version of "Who Ate All The Pies ", a popular British soccer chant.
