http://sports.nationalpost.com/2012/02/01/more-than-70-people-killed-in-deadly-egypt-soccer-riot/ 70 deaths, wow. Crazy. Make sure to watch the video. Never happen in a NFL game, unless its ratbird fans, don't like them much.
I remember two, but I can only find articles on one. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, you get 100,000 people in close-quarters and add alcohol to the mix bad things happen. I've been saying for years alcohol needs go away at sporting events. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6...eads-san-francisco-review-recent-fan-violence http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...l-after-savage-beating-in-stadium-parking-lot http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-as-violence-breaks-out-at-cowboys-jets-game/ [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhd54CL8FfQ"]Ravens vs Chiefs fan fight - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIxtxntG1sI&feature=related"]49ers vs Raiders 8/20/11 FIGHT 49er fans fight with Raider fans - YouTube[/ame] And I don't ever remember soccer being referred to as the most beautiful game. Definitely the most popular.
Ok, not debating whether a few, maybe more than a few fans grow "beer muscles" but come on, 70 deaths, no comparison.
lol 'the beautiful game' is a term for UKs soccer pyramid NFL fans would totally be schooled by soccer thugs.
