Angry Soccer Fans Set Egypt Football Association HQ Ablaze
The headquarters of the Egyptian Football Association were set ablaze on Saturday, minutes after a police officers’ club was torched following sentencing over a deadly football riot last year. Firefighters were working to put out the fire which spread through the building located in the same neighbourhood as the officers’ club, an AFP reporter said.
Football officials were holding emergency talks in Cairo to discuss upcoming fixtures around the country, state television reported. The unrest comes hours after a court upheld death sentences for 21 defendants over a deadly football riot in Port Said last year and handed down life sentences to five defendants, with 19 receiving lesser jail terms and another 28 acquitted.

A North Alabama football player recently lost his place in the team, and probably his career, no thanks to his explicit message. During President Barack Obama’s address on the Newtown, Connecticut shooting on Sunday night, North Alabama player Bradley Patterson sent out a racist tweet directed towards him.
“Take that [expletive] off the tv, we wanna watch football!” Patterson, whose account has since been deleted, tweeted.
