OOC: Yes. Crimmond has sports. I just RP them sporaticly. Oh and... this is Soccer, not NFL. Crimmond is in Europe, after all.

IC: The Crimmond Football League Championship game was being broadcast across Crimmond and it's allies.

Number fifteen, Fantor Biggs walked out of the locker room, stone faced. As he approached the field, cameras focused on him. He was playing for Gdansk against Skye and was a three time MVP of the year.

The other team wasn't anything to sneeze at, this was a championship game, after all... but he was the greatest player out there.

He stepped onto the field and took up his position.

------------------

On the sidelines, in an interview being done live with another Gdansk player, a reporter noticed the entrance and asked the player about Biggs. "How does it feel to play with a three time MVP?" Getting the usual 'great', he moved on. "As of late, his game has been sliping and other players are gaining on his prestige. You think he may retire this year?" The player shrugged. "I dunno. Biggs has been playing harder than usual, but he's been hurt a lot in his career and I think, personally, it's better to go out on top than when you're a nobody again."

-----------------

Biggs was meanwhile busy dodging other players and got control of the black and white ball. The only thing between him and a goal... was three other players all running at him. He dodged left, they followed suit. He dodged right, they followed again. Then he stopped and looked at them with pure rage in his eyes. "Get the hell out of my way!"

He caught the ball on the toe of his shoe, kicking it straight up and catching it in his hands. As whistles blew, Biggs pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and put a hole in one of the player's faces. He knee-capped the nex and blew out a lung in the third. He spun on his team and started blasting away at them. One man's head literally exploded. Another fell and gurgled up blood from his throat. Two more got hit in the back and arms.

Players scattered, the crowd was stunned and police streamed onto the field. He pulled the trigger again. It clicked. He grinned and never stopped, even after one of the officers put a bullet through his left eye.

---------------------

The reporter looked at the player, the player at the reporter. "That was not what I meant."

Butthead: Woah!! That was cool! hehehehe
Beavis: Hehehehe, yeah! Hehehehe, cool!

In the news offices of Starblaydia Combined Broadcasting...

"So you think we should go with this old psycho shooting up the football match?" asked the anchor man.

"Well," his head-of-department said, "if we don't it'll only go out in 'Sports most outrageous Injuries 19', so we might as well."

...Later, on SCB News...

"...and a recap of our headline story in its entirety. One of Crimmond's most famous footballers, Fantor Biggs went on an horrific shooting spree during a match, with at least seven players being shot, at least two of them fatally. This report from our European Sport correspondant contains scenes of extreme violence, and we suggest that children should be prevented from watching..."

The Gdansk military commisioner, a typical rugged military type, stood at the podium and sighed. "What happened during the Chapionship game was a tragedy, but not an unexpected occurance. With our laws on firearms, a citizen can own almost two dozen guns without more than an operator's license. Still, it could and should have been avoided. There were four deaths, not counting Biggs. Four men in the prime of their lives." He paused and looks around. "Therefore, we are now enacting new security measures at all sports and large entertainment events. Despite the fact it is legal to carry everything from a saturday night special to an assault rifle on the street, no firearms of any kind will be permitted by any non-security personel."

That created an uproar in the press room. He waved them to be quiet. "This will ONLY apply to sports events and the largest of concerts."

El Presidente Horatio Sanz II is curious, why is gun ownership compulsary in your nation?

It lowers the overall violent crime rate dramatically and adds to the difficulty in attacking Crimmond. Unfortunately, the law is lax in some areas, allowing unstable citizens access to weapons. These events happen once every year or two, but for the most part, citizens act as militias.

OOC: Playing football with a pistol in your pants sounds difficult :)

Looks like we'll have to ban visiting Crimmond soccer teams until further notice. :mp5:

Three days later:

"The owner of the Gdansk Football team has been arrested and charged with supplying mind altering drugs to his players, large quantities of which were found in Fantor Biggs' system. These are suspected to be the cause of the three time MVP's rampage." The talking head behind the desk paused for a second. "Three players have been suspended and arrested for failing drug tests. Not a good week for Football in Crimmond. The League is still deciding what they will do about the championship, whetehr it will be awarded to Skye or be postponed."
