Who Says Soccer Isnt Violent?

In the Ivory Coast, Soccer Fans Mean Business. A stampede at a World Cup qualifying soccer match in the Ivory Coast killed at least 22 people and wounded 132 today? No, this wasn't a case of a herd of elephants infiltrating the stadium. Instead, it was unruly fans trying to fill the stadium before kickoff. Hundreds of fans at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny arena pushed against each other shortly before the game trying to get into the stadium to see a match between Ivory Coast and Malawi, setting off a panic that led to the stampede. With a lack of modern security forces, the stampede got out of control. Riot Police had to come and fire tear gas into the crowd to calm the situation. Im not sure if or how many were arrested, but with at least 22 deaths, someone will be held accountable. Those in the stadium report that a wall gave out, which crushed at least 10 people. I always thought soccer houligans were dangerous, but this is ridiculous!
