Impaled on a stake... For a sport where you're required to flail on the ground feigning agony anytime someone brushes up against you the fans are pretty badass. And the refs too apparently.
Well, I'll have to check out a Brazil game I guess. This sounds like the stuff they would pull in the Inca (I think) games. Of course, they would actually play with a human head. Nice to know things haven't changed all too much.
and coincidence or not, today's feature article on Wikipedia's cover page is "Hanged, drawn and quartered."
In America it's all metaphorical but its the same shit. So a ref stabs a player during a match and the crowd get pissed and rips him apart. Sounds like every Jets game I've ever watched and a large portion of Knicks games.
um, metaphorically ripping the refs apart and actually beheading him and leaving his head staked in the middle of the field are not the same shit. not even close
Will EA Sports put this in fifa 15? But seriously the player who started it, the ref and the whole crowd are sub-human...
