50,000 Women & Children Watch Turkish #Soccer Game Free After Men Punished for Violence

Wait. The MEN where punished? What about the unfortunate 50,000 women and children forced to watch a borin 1-1 tie between Fenerbahce and Manisaspor?

Sure, the guys have been getting a little bit out-of-hand this lately while watching the games but who could blame them? After all, it is Turkey (one of the most boring countries in the entire world after Ontario) and they’re watching the most boring game in the world: soccer. Violence could almost be expected . . . even encouraged . . . under these inhumane conditions. But no, the local officials decided to ban all men from attending the games. The old punishment was that players played in front of empty stands . . . but not anymore. Instead, they shove 50,000 women and children into the stands.

Where is the UN Council on Human Rights when you need them?

Video: PA High School Football #Brawl Leads to Suspensions

It’s still early in the year and we are already seeing a record number of high school football teams brawling on the field. The latest example comes to us from Pennslyvania where teams from Sharon High and Hickory High decided to go at it near the end of a game last Friday. Looks like there was a little extra pushing on a punt return that when out-of-bounds and before you know it, everyone’s getting involved. The latest we are hearing is that at least one Hickory player has been booted from the team and seven others will be suspended for this week’s game.

Video of the melee and the ensuing suspensions below.
