Revenge of the Ref
 

I don't even know what to say about this:

I can't help but to chuckle while reading that. Soccer fans are by far the most passionate. Apparently their coaches and refs are quite passionate themselves!

jesus christ that's scary. I know how crazy soccer fans can be all over the world with rioting and players who messed up in certain countries being killed in drive by shootings but I'd never expect a referee to be packing heat and wasting a coach who was just arguing a call. Unfortunately I see this stuff becoming more common in our country with parents watching their kids playing little league sports and its just a matter of time before someone pulls out a gun at a game and kills other parents and or their kids for a somewhat suspect hit or something. I sure most of us have already heard of or seen parents actually decking kids playing for the opposing team and we've heard of or seen plenty of fights breaking out in the stands over stupid trivial things. It's just sad.
