How Sport can translate into Violence

Referee shot dead during Brazilian football match - Sambafoot.com, all About Brazilian Football

I found this article will browsing a referee support system. When I read the title I was shocked. The referee was shot during a Brazilian Futbol Championship game. I would not be suprised if the police learn that the referee was shot because he was involved in some kind of gambling or unfair officiating that was under control by a minority group. The man that shot him is still on the loose and he also shot another man in the leg during the incident. The security in Brazil must not be that strong or emphasized if a referee was able to be shot dead and the man was able to run from the situation. Fan safety is imperial in facilities and if you cannot guarentee safety to your spectators it will be difficult to keep filling up the stands each game.

I enjoyed this article and I will blog more about it if I find anything new!
