The dangers of football in Brazil

Post by peter »

In the light of the forthcoming World Cup in Brazil the following story, reported in a news magazine I read might be of interest. In the town of Pio Xll on the 30 June, during an altercation over a sending off, a fist fight broke out between the offending player and the referee. The referee pulled out a knife and stabbed the player (who died on the way to hospital) and the crowd replied by storming the feild, beating the referee to death, quatering his body and mounting his head on a stake in the center of the pitch
The truth is a Lion and does not need protection. Once free it will look after itself.

Crazy story. I read about it awhile ago, the head on a stake is messed up.

I wonder if they used his own knife? Or maybe they all carry weapons around there? I sure as hell would.
