Brazilian fans behead referee, stake his head in the field


I think that we talk sports entirely too seriously here in the U.S. However, beheading a referee? 

Well, it is a little more complicated than that in Brazil. The referee stabbed a player to death, leading to the beheading. 

I guess that it all depends on the facts. This was the one that frightened me from the Brazil situation: "Local news media say the spectators also decapitated Silva and stuck his head on a stake in the middle of the field."

They definitely take soccer more seriously than we do the Super Bowl.
