Brazil Police: Soccer Ref Fatally Stabs Player

Police in Brazil are hunting a soccer referee who reportedly stabbed a player to death during a dispute over a foul call. The fight broke out during a soccer match in the city of Barreira on Sunday afternoon when Jose Ramos da Silva, 28, protested a foul against his team. After a heated argument, the referee, identified as 26-year-old Francisco Edio Gregorio Chaves, pulled out a knife and stabbed da Silva in the chest, Momento24.com reported.

Senh: One minute you're arguing a foul call, and then you get stabbed. I don't know players argue calls to begin with. They never help. NBA players need to take note of this.
