While I am a firm believer that soccer sucks the Big One I also believe the players are in tremendous physical shape.

"Yeah, but what explains fights in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR..."

No one thing. Trying to fuzzy it up a bit?
Some fights are heat of the battle, and generally harmless. Some are caused by angry men who just want to fight someone. Some are caused by stupid people.

But a muslim involved in a fight? About as unexpected as a dog chasing a cat.

Remember, not all muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are muslim.

"While I am a firm believer that soccer sucks the Big One I also believe the players are in tremendous physical shape."

Agree.
Make no mistake, I love soccer.
Played it most of my life, especially when I was still a youngster.
But I gotta trash soccer players in this here lil debate on this thread. :)
After that, I am back to my normal soccer loving self.

The only fuzz is in your head.

Remember, not all muslims are terrorists...

You should remember that part.

[Jameison]

Oh dear.
Well I am happy you decided to surrender.
You have a good day, sir.

"You should remember that part."

For those with cranial rectal inversion... this could be you... the part that really matters is:

MOST TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS.

That unclear thinking you seem to encourage is very liberal of you.

Wasn't the top pick in the NBA this last draft a European?
Maybe he can bring the headbutt to this side of the world.

"I did insult him, it's true,".."But I categorically did not call him a terrorist. I'm not cultured and I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is."

"I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he turned round and spoke to me, sneering,".."He looked me up and down, arrogantly and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards."'

"We are just human beings, our duty is not to judge, our duty is to understand,"

[TankerKC]

Both parts matter. The part that applies here is that "not all Muslims are terrorists." You have tried to paint this guy as a terrorist because he is a Muslim.

[Biggirl]

Stupid excuse.

[brownsfan]

"You have tried to paint this guy as a terrorist because he is a Muslim."

No. A headbutt in a soccer game is not terrorism. This guy most likely is not a terrorist. It's possible, like many belonging to his death cult that he implicitly endores terrorism.

My point is, muslims are brought up in an aggressive, violent manner. Violence at the hands of a muslim should be no surprise to annyone.
