FOOTBALL (SOCCER) SHOULD BE BANNED AS THE MOST DANGEROUS SPORT TO HUMANS IN THE WORLD. PERHAPS IT WAS ONLY SURPASSED BY THE ROMANS FEEDING CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS. BUT THEN THE CHRISTIANS WERE PARTICIPANTS AND NOT SPECTATORS! (ONLY KIDDING?
I WAS LIVING IN LIMA PERU ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM THE STADIUM WHERE IN 1964 THERE WERE 314 SPECTATORS KILLED DURING RIOTING AT A MATCH. SINCE THAT TIME THERE HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND SPECTATOR DEATHS AT FOOTBALL, FUTBAL, SOCCER MATCHES AROUND THE WORLD.
THE UK HAS HAD THREE MATCHES RESULTING IN 218 DEATHS, WHILE SUCH DIVERSIFIED AREAS AS RUSSIA, BELGIUM, NEPAL, SOUTH AFRICA, FRANCE GUATEMALA, GHANA, IVORY COAST AND EGYPT HAVE HAD HUNDREDS KILLED.
WHAT A WAY TO BRING COUNTRIES AND THEIR CITIZENS TOGETHER, SPEND THE AFTERNOON WATCHING YOUR FAVORITE TEAM PLAY THEN JUST KILL A FEW FOLKS FOR FUN.
FOOTBALL OR SOCCER IS SUPPOSEDLY A NON-CONTACT SPORT FILLED WITH ATHLETES WHO ALSO TAKE DRAMA CLASSES ON THE SIDE. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PLAYER GET A GENTLE BUMP ON THE SHOULDER FALL TO THE GROUND WRITHING IN AGONY, SCREAMING IN PAIN SUDDENLY BE CURED WHEN THE FOUL IS CALLED AND IMMEDIATELY RETURN TO PLAY ANOTHER 88 MINUTES AT FULL SPEED?
RUGBY A RATHER HEAVY CONTACT EVENT IS ONE FOR WHICH I COULD NOT FIND WHERE ONE SPECTATOR HAD EVER BEEN KILLED AT A MATCH.
