Soccer player strikes referee. Referee stabs player to death. Crowd beheads referee and puts head on a stake. http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1492969/referee-beheaded-killing-player-brazil?cc=5901
I honestly thought you were making some kind of sick joke. This is incredible. I have a hard time attributing these actions to the sport being played. . . . But it does seem to be the case that soccer fans, along with players and apparently refs, are far worse than any others I can think of. Why is that? Soccer is usually the "fun, less competitive, positive sport" of choice among suburban American mothers.
At least the Brazilian authorities understand the situation: "Actions likes this do not collaborate with the legality of state law."
