The Multi-Faceted Face of Hooliganism

Next time you hear about rioting sports fans in Europe, don't automatically think soccer hooligans. Apparently women's volleyball can get folks pretty riled up, too:

Greek authorities have cancelled all team sports matches for two weeks after a mass brawl between rival women's volleyball fans left one man dead.

The pitched battle took place between fans of Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos near Athens.

Witnesses say about 300 fans fought using clubs, knives and stones.
Who knew?

On a related note, I haven't heard any reports of couch burning or other lunacy in Morgantown in the wake of WVU winning the NIT last night!
