Soccer fans fall to their deaths in Brazil

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Eight people died Sunday after a section of stands at a soccer stadium in northeastern Brazil collapsed as cheering fans jumped up and down at the end of a game, police said.

At least nine people fell through a section of the highest bleachers at the Fonte Nova stadium in the coastal city of Salvador, and eight were killed, said Maj. Edmilson Tavares of the city's federal police.


People died, and that's not funny. But this is just one more factor... in addition to my genetic predisposition against dogmatic, foaming-at-the-mouth allegiance to "Things That Don't Matter"... in why I will never catch el futbol fever.
