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.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
