Soccer Players Threatened With Guns By Fans After Referee's Call
<snip>

BERLIN (Reuters) - Players from a visiting soccer team were forced to seek refuge in the changing rooms after home supporters brandishing guns attacked them in a dispute over a refereeing decision, Bremen police said on Monday.

At least 30 angry home fans stormed onto the pitch to attack the visiting players and a 21-year-old man had to be taken to hospital after he was beaten around the head with a corner flag, police in the northern German port city said.

Two of the attackers threatened the players with firearms, they added.

1. That's why Soccer is the greatest sport ever!
Because the fans are violent! How many fans get injured or killed at American fotball games? pansies!
