"BAGHDAD -- Police say an Iraqi soccer player has been shot dead just as he was about to kick what could have been the tying goal in a weekend game south of Baghdad."

Those people just live for violence don't they?

^whats with the eye roll? Those people = iraqi's. Don't take that comment somewhere it wasn't heading

3/16/2009 5:29:24 PM

And where exactly was it headed?

Directly toward "disgusting bigotry" or what?

^^just commenting on your assumption that this guy represents all iraqis.

There's plenty of european hooligans that "live for violence". If firearms were as commonplace in europe as they are in iraqi society, it'd probably happen there too. but that's a topic for another thread. crazy story though!
