Re: and we think American sports fans are over the line

Why is it I can envision a scene like this playing out with Angel Hernandez or Phil Cuzzi?

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.
