what the....??? Volleyball madness erupts

Mass brawl mars Greek volleyball

A man has died and at least six people have been injured in a mass brawl between rival women's volleyball fans near the Greek capital Athens.
A pitched battle took place between fans of Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos in the Peania area. It was at a spot away from the stadium.

Witnesses say about 300 fans fought with clubs, knives and stones.

Police detained 18 people. Greek media reports suggested the fans had arranged the fight ahead of the match.

The Greek news website Ekathimerini says a 22-year-old who was driving by at the time was stabbed in the leg by hooligans who attacked his car.

Doctors said the 25-year-old who died had head injuries and stab wounds.

Three shops and two cars were damaged in the fighting.

"They were jumping on our car for five minutes, they were asking for our cellphones and stabbed our driver," one witness was quoted as saying.

WOMEN's volleyball, no less. Those skimpy outfits must have REALLY riled everybody up.

I'm not really surprised. They were fighting after every single match when i played in Greece last year. On several occasions the "super fans" were kicked out of our matches for throwing rocks, etc across the court to the other fans, haha

Cyprus is not different. We share our home court with the clubs biggest rival. When we played each other only the home teams fans were allowed at the game.

Funny thing is that these fans don't come to the game because they enjoy watching or are interested in the sport. They come to start shit with the other fans. Kinda lame if you ask me.

God damn volleyball hooligans, always causing trouble for everyone. We should just ban this sport completely so no one else gets hurt.

haha tru tru I just pictured the scene in my head....and I was thinking to myself that if I went to enjoy a game of volleyball and people started fighting over it I would: roll my eyes, leave, and think that people are so lame to fight over this shit.

(if I could leave without getting killed with a club or stone) lol

Wow...people get so crazy over sports!

Just keep all this "excitement" away from women's tennis!

dont need another repeat of Day 1 of the Aussie Open this year... and shit didnt even get as close to being as bonkers as this! (and this was re: mens tennis players too, a match that was going on that day sparked up all this when a serb and croat player were facing each other)

at the aussie open it was the serbs and croats (even a few greeks got in there too!)

These guys live and die supporting their teams. Once you're affiliated with a certain team you never change. And it gets a little out of hand every once in a while.

that wins this week's "WTF?!?!" award.
