Even NASCAR fans aren’t this bad

NASCAR fans throw beer cans at the cars on the track. A driver could be hurt or killed should a full beer can someday go through the windshield of one of the race cars. However, things could be worse.

An Iraqi football (soccer) player was shot dead as he was about to score the tying goal.

The striker from the Buhairat amateur team had only the goalkeeper to beat in the match yesterday near Baghdad when a supporter of the rival Sinjar club shot him in the head in the final minute of play.

Sinjar were leading 1-0 when the shooting occurred. Police said a spectator was arrested.
