Below is the story of an Iraqi soccer player shot in the head while attempting to score a goal. It was the then living striker completely alone, just the goalie to beat... oh and that crazy guy in the stands with a gun... we forgot about him.
Keep in mind this is not quite like a coach tripping or form tackling a player on a breakaway. This is just slightly worse. A man at full sprint is gunned down by a lunatic fan. That doesn't happen in the US. We still think that Philadelphia Eagles fans are horrible people for throwing snow balls at Santa Clause. Snow ball are not bullets. They do not kill people.
Now, I have said before that I am not an overly political person. I am supportive of America and our government for the most part. But cue my anti-war comments. I am proud of soldiers who volunteer to fight for freedom, but Iraq is not a threat to the US anymore. My vote: let's pull all of our soldiers out and drop several thousand bombs on any country with poor enough morals to shoot a soccer player because he might score against your team. Or at least pull the soldiers out, build a 300 ft tall electric fence (Jurassic Park style) around the entire country and let them either excel as a country or shoot each other in the head.
