Snitch of the Week: 2/4 - 2/10 (Italy)

(And that's just the pre-game party...)

I'll make this quick and give the SofW to Italy for banning fans from stadiums during games after a police officer was killed during a match in Sicily.

• Matches were suspended last Friday after rival fans battled each other and the police during a game in Catania, Sicily. Amid exploding bombs and thugs wielding steel bars, a 38-year-old officer, Filippo Raciti, was killed.

Damn. Didn't a French police officer just shoot a soccer fan who was about to kill a Jewish fan?

And you thought being at a NBA game with Ron Artest was dangerous?

I learned this lesson long ago and heard it best put by Star and Bucwild, "the white man is the original gangster."

For calling out the European soccer savages and myth of European sophistication, Italy is the Snitch of the Week.
