And I Thought the NHL Lockout Would End Sports Violence

Yesterday's second day of UEFA Champions League action was blotched by a nasty incident at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. As the match between AS Roma and Dynamo Kiev moved towards halftime (with Kiev up 1-0), the ref gave a Roma defender a red card. Right after, some idiot in the crowd beaned the ref with something, resulting in a nasty cut and lots of blood on his face. The game was never restarted after halftime. UEFA is pondering what the result of the match will be until next week. I have to say that I think Dynamo gets the three points - they were winning at the time of the stoppage, which was no fault of their own or of their fans. If Roma can't control their tifosi, that's they're own damn fault.
