So in short, a player protests a call to the referee, referee takes a punch from the player. Referee stabs the player with a knife (who carries a knife while refereeing?). Player dies and the family of the player storms the pitch and mutilates/decapitates the referee.

 

Some places just ain't right.

 

The link is specific as to the murders but there is a link on there that leads to Liveleak that shows the definitely NSFW video of the mutilated body.

 

Would this ever happen here in the good ole USA?

In US and all other developed countries, soccer indeed is not violent. In developing countries its a different story.

 

Well, in England there are fan gangs who roam the streets before matches and this particular story took place in Brazil, one of the soccer capitals of the world and is certainly not considered a developing country.

FYI, brazil is a very developing country. Most of people in brazil are very poor. I got relatives from brazil, I know.

England does have hooligans, not gangs. It usually more peaceful than football games. I'm a die hard Arsenal fan and I follow English premier league very close and I never heard of any big fights or deaths.

Soccer is supposed to be the non-violent sport the vast majority of parents want their kids to play because of that supposed non-violence.

 

you're confusing the violence of intrasport physical contact with social and cultural phenomena external to the game

I can't recall any incidents of murder, but there have been some close calls in US sports history, especially turn of the century baseball.  Babe Ruth once chased a fan thru the stadium with a baseball bat. Had he caught him, well that might not have gone well.  And the name Ty Cobb appears in several incidents, including one where he ran into the stands and assaulted a handicapped fan. 

 

Fwiw, it will not surprise me if a player is assaulted in college sports with all the rushing the court or field that goes on.  I expect it to happen eventually.

The socio-economic status of a country's residents is not the lone determining factor in rating it's status among world economies. There are a lot of poor people in this country and that number grows daily. Brazil has the 8th largest economy in the world and also has one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

 

But some still classify Brazil as "developing" alongside China, Russia and India. Just a difference of opinion.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
