Ugliest Moments in Sports

I vote for the creation of Baseball (rounders for those who need a bigger bat), American football (rugby for panzies) and basket ball (nothing but glorified netball)
 
That list is a fecking joke. It doesnt even mention the Hillsbrough disaster, or abour Bradfrods ground burning down during a game.
 
That is list too narrow even for US sports-centric lists. They forot to mention a few player v fan incidents in baseball that were far worse than the Detroit Indiana game.
 
In the Ghandi movie they showed what seemed like hundreds of ppl at a football match, trapped in a stadium and mowed down with automatic weapons....players, fans, women, and children alike.

Doesn't get much uglier than that.

Err..the year was 1919(pardon me fellow indians if Im wrong) and the place was Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.It was a peaceful protest rally where there were women and children..thousands of them.No arms, only speeches.Old men, women, new brides, kids.General Dwyer was the Punjab region police head(again, pardon me if Im' wrong) and he arrived at the Bagh(roughly translated as park) which had only one exit and blocked it with his men.He then ordered the men to fire indiscriminately at the innocent people even as they remained trapped in the grounds.Some of them jumped into the well at the centre of the park and they found a whole mass of bodies there too.Some tried to scale the wall but were shot down.All in all, i think about two thousand people died and a thousand were injured.One of the blackest days of the British rule(oh trust me, there were many..)one of the worst acts commited by foreign aggressors on a 'colony'.Unless of course, if you count the mass killings done by the British in Africa..

Oh, and that stupid prick's name was Gandhi, the incompetent fool.

Well you wouldn't find many of the Indain youh agreeing with his way of going about with things today..And he was responsible for perhaps prolonging India's subjugation and for its consequent partition into India and Pakistan.And also for the death of great revolutionaries who gave up their lives for India.
 
I am still undecided on gandhi TBH, I dont think he intended to cause that partition mess.
But he had his weak points, I mean telling Sardar patel to step down to allow Nehru to become the PM was a shameful act.

Because they are youth and they don't have the guts to deal with facts as I was in my youth.
 
I'd have thought the 1985 European cup final should have been in there too...I remember getting up for that game (middle of night our time) and seeing that unfold...terrible... :nervous: :(

gen dyer didn't block the exit with his men , he placed a cannon there
and since it was a narrow passage, it was completely blocked

and yes you are right gandhi sala bhadwa, kutte ki aulaad thaa

Texas Rangers' pitcher Frank Francisco threw a chair into the Oakland Coliseum stands during an August melee, breaking a woman's nose.

Seeing that Coventry player break his leg at Old Trafford. I remember Schiemcel asking for a bucket of water and some sand whilst they were dealing with him. Some of it was to wash away the blood, and the other for the fact he'd been sick when he saw the injury. Then of course the pictures the next day.... That in terms of actual uglist sporting moment is #1 for me.
