I don't know what it is about soccer players and their fans acting like an ass, rioting when they lose, rioting when they win, etc., but it's much too common. That's the reason I hate soccer.. Although soccer players are some of the best athletes in the world, I can't help but think of shithole countries like Brazil when I think of soccer.. It's the sport of the lowest of the socio-economic classes..
Anyway, here's a new twist-shoot the opposing teammates dead instead of letting them score..

BAGHDAD -- Police say an Iraqi soccer player has been shot dead just as he was about to kick what could have been the tying goal in a weekend game south of Baghdad.
Police Maj. Muthanna Khalid says a striker from the Buhairat amateur team was facing only the goalie during a Sunday match in Hillah when a supporter of the rival Sinjar club shot him in the head in the final minute of play.
Sinjar was leading 1-0 when the shooting occurred. Khalid said a spectator was arrested.
More Iraqis are turning out for sports events now that security is improving. Major matches in Baghdad are heavily guarded but security in amateur games in smaller cities is often lax.
