Police say an Iraqi soccer player has been shot dead just as he was about to kick what could have been the tying goal in a weekend game south of Baghdad.

Police Maj. Muthanna Khalid says a striker from the Buhairat amateur team was facing only the goalie during a Sunday match in Hillah when a supporter of the rival Sinjar club shot him in the head in the final minute of play.

Sinjar was leading 1-0 when the shooting occurred. Khalid said a spectator was arrested.

I kid, I kid. As much as I love the Blazers and hate the Lakers, I can't even fathom what would make me resort to actual violence against a player. That's pure insanity.

Wow, that is absolutely horrid.

We could do to Kobe what Ariza did to Rudy. That would be fair.

We could do to Kobe what Ariza did to Rudy. That would be fair.

And Kobe would bounce right back up.

That's really sad. I can't imagine hating the other team so much to take a gun out and shot a player. If Ariza did something like this he might actually get a one game suspension.
