Here in the United States soccer (football) isn’t that popular, in the rest of the world football is taken very seriously. In some parts of the world people are killed over the sport, and it’s not just the players. Check out the video of this referee who pulled out a gun during a football match in Brazil. The ref is also a police officer so I understand why he might be packing during a match in Brazil which has a pretty high crime rate, I just wonder how he was able to conceal it while running throughout the game.
Speaking of Brazil, check out our past post on the Guns of BOPE.
For those who do not understand portuguese, i’ll translate what the reporter stated on the coverege off the incident: the player (probably the guy running away), assalted the referee, who’s also a police oficcer. The referee later goes to the locker to gets his gun. The gun was not on his socks.
