Damn, they take soccer serious
http://www.examiner.com/article/decapitated-referee-mutilated-by-fans-head-put-on-stake-brazil-soccer-fieldA decapitated referee was the barbaric ending to a soccer game in Brazil. The decapitated referee's head was placed upon a stake in the middle of the soccer field, according to USA Today on July 6, 2013. This violence in Brazil at this soccer game plays out as just surreal, as it started with the referee stabbing a player.
The referee was attacked and stoned by enraged spectators who quartered his body after he stabbed a player in the heat of an argument. Referee Otavio da Silva expelled player Josenir Abreu from the game, which resulted in a fist fight. It was then that da Sliva took out a knife during this fight and stabbed Abreau, who died from the stab wound on his way to the hospital.
Abreu's friends and relatives stormed the field to get to the referee. This is when they stoned him and “quartered his body.” They took his decapitated head and put it on a stake for all to see in the middle of this soccer field. There was only one suspect arrested in this horrendous crime.This sounds like a story of violence that was out of a history book from centuries ago, but it isn't. This happened in Brazil in 2013. While the sport of soccer is taken very seriously in Brazil, this is very scary, as it seems to show just how far fans will go for this sport. The ref should have been put up on murder charges for stabbing the player. This public decapitation is just hard to wrap your mind around. This shouldn't happen, not in today's day and age.
