While I'm not endorsing the murder of the referree, either by stoning, quartering, or beheading ....
It should be noted the ref drew a knife and fatally stabbed a player on the field. They were in a heated shoving match, but seriously?
You imagine the reaction if Angel Hernandez stabbed and killed Yadier Molina at Busch Stadium? I don't know if the fans would have gotten on the field, and Angel probably wouldn't have been mutilated, but I could see him being beaten to death by an angry mob.
Why is it I can envision a scene like this playing out with Angel Hernandez or Phil Cuzzi?
AMSTERDAM (AP) — A man who was working as a linesman during a youth soccer match in the Netherlands has died after being beaten and kicked by several players.
