Soccer does have some appeal here in the Caribbean...
....as reported around June of this year on the Jim Rome sport show.
Quote:
"A machete fight took place as scheduled in Jamaica and a soccer game almost broke out.
Great.
You have to love a game where people get killed. I know, I know…soccer is so passionate and full of creativity.
One man is dead and two others are badly injured when a crazed fan lost it with a machete.
Fans began to argue about their respective teams in the stands when Carlington Hilton went nuts…with his machete. He took off before fans could grab him, but eventually they caught up to him and started hacking him up with their own machetes.
Nice stadium security. You can’t even bring in a backpack full of food to a stadium in this country, but in Jamaica you can bring your own Machete? The Dodgers won’t let lesbians in, but you can bring a machete to a soccer game in Jamaica.
How about the dead guy getting into an argument with a guy with a machete? If the guy you want to argue with who likes the other team happened to bring his machete and you didn’t…you probably don’t want to argue with him.
Great soccer. A guy brought a machete to a soccer game. Not a pocket knife, not a switchblade, but a freaking machete.
You’re right, I just don’t get it soccer. I don’t get how somebody thinks about and is able to bring a machete to a soccer game.
If you are going to have a no-smoking section in stadiums, you need to have a no-machete section too.
But the thing is, you’re not going on safari, but to a soccer game. Nice. You go to a soccer game and a machete fight broke out. But like they say, never bring a soccer game to a machete fight.
Soccer is not a sport, it’s a reason to riot. You don’t go to see a game played... you go to kill someone or be killed."
