Soccer in many parts of the world
passions of the fans are often on the riot urge
A loss or bad call could burst into
fights in the stands or waves of angry violent fans onto the field to surge
In Argentina a referee handed a player
the eviction red card
Under soccer rules that player was
to be from the game immediately barred
In a moment that could only be described
as depraved and very sick
The offender outraged decided to
take the ultimate penalty kick
The red carded player was not going
to go easy and reached into his bag for a gun to withdraw
Shoots the referee three times dead
in complete violation of the law
All lives matter even a referee trying
to maintain order in the world’s most popular game
God help the soccer world if the
refs are in Kevlar and packing heat with their whistles to gun violence tame.
