Obvious: Peace Soccer Match Ends In Violence

I knew we couldn't get through a week without some soccer mayhem. It just doesn't happen.

From Ananova:

A football match organised to promote non violence among fans in Germany ended in a mass punch-up.

Of course it did. What else would one expect?

The violence started when five young players attacked a heckler who was kicked and punched to the ground, and then other players and fans waded in.

A police spokesman said: "We had thought this game would show local kids that sport was a meaningful way of spending their spare time."

Next time just pass out switchblades and methamphetamine to the kids. It would be safer than holding a soccer match.
