OK, kids; repeat after me: "IT'S ONLY A GAME!!"

Protesting violence

Players from Italy's pro soccer leagues will start games 15 minutes late next weekend to protest recent attacks by hooligans. The union's announcement Monday came three days after fans ambushed a player for second-division club Napoli when he was driving home from a game. They smashed his car windows with iron bars and left him with bruises and a cut eye. Two weeks ago, a fan ran on the field and knocked a goalkeeper unconscious during a match between Cagliari and Messina. Before each game this weekend, team captains will read aloud a message against violence.

Kinda makes y'all wonder what these inDUHviduals would do about something that really matters, doesn't it?? Talk about having too much time on your hands....
