Soccer Hooligans to be Punished

Just this week, lots of soccer hooligan stories.

Riots followed a soccer game in Colombia this week, but big news out of Eqypt.

Egypt's leading prosecutor on Thursday charged 75 people in connection with a deadly soccer riot last month in the Mediterranean city of Port Said in which authorities said fans were thrown to their death off the stadium walls and others killed by explosives as they tried to flee.

The fans face murder charges and nine police officers were accused of complicity in murder, in the Feb. 1 riot that left at least 74 people dead. It was the world's worst soccer-related disaster in 15 years.

The mass riot began minutes after the final whistle in a league game between Cairo club al-Ahly and al-Masry of Port Said. The home side won 3-1 but its fans set upon the rival supporters in a killing frenzy that witnesses said lasted 30 minutes. Many witnesses claimed that policemen at the venue did nothing to stop the bloodshed.

Oakland Raider fans aren't so bad after all.

Cheerleader Brawl Follows Football Game in Tampa Area

This story is great on so many levels. 

A youth cheerleader, her coach, two other teens and the cheerleader's mother were all arrested after a brawl at the end of a youth football game in south St. Petersburg, police said.

Yolanda Jones was the only adult arrested after the fight at JC Turner Field in South St. Petersburg. Jones told police she was trying to protect her cheerleader daughter who had come under attack. The coach, who is also Jones' daughter, said she joined the fight too. "We started fighting, because that other girl didn't like my mouth," said Darricka Maddox.

It took ten police officers to end the brawl and restore order.

It's the second brawl in recent weeks at a youth football game in Tampa Bay. Four people were arrested following a brawl in Sarasota last week.

Just watch and enjoy.
