This is getting just weird...
Now, anyone traveling to the games in Sochi has to be on alert for bombs in toothpaste tubes -since those sized containers are now allowed on carry-on luggage...
It's not just a thing against Americans, but the Dagestani and Chechnyans just want to make a statement...
Here's Elex Michaelson

Italian Soccer Team Demoted For Faking Injuries
((HT: TGR/RaiSport))
First, some context...
This happened back in November... and, yes, the report is in Italian...
But the gist is this...
Nocerina's (a third-level squad- think Double 'A' baseball for comparison) players were afraid of their own "ultras" and didn't want to play in their "Derby of Hate" game against Salernitana...
Death threats were made to the Nocerina players and they weren't in the best of moods to play. And the ultras were hot that they were not allowed to see the match in the first place...
The game got so out of control through bad acting, yellow cards, and red cards that the game was pulled in the 21st minute...
And the analysis, also in Italian...
((HT: Sky Calcio))
The governing body for Italian soccer issued a statement in their decision to demote Nocerina for their decisions on that day two months ago:
"Nocerina have been excluded from the Lega Pro championship for sporting fraud and will be assigned by the Federal Council to one of the leagues' lower categories.
"The club has also been fined 10,000 euros. The decision comes into effect immediately and has been announced to the Lega Pro and its stakeholders."
Apparently, this derby isn't looked at fondly. The local media were the ones who looked at the game with the nickname above and:
From BBC Sport:
Salernitana's club president Claudio Lotito, who holds the same position at Serie A giants Lazio, compared the Salerno derby to forcing "Israelis to take on the Palestinians".
That's pleasant...

Soccer Player Gets Death Threats For Injuring Wanna Be Soccer Player
((HT: Fox Soccer/BT Sport))
Charity matches are what charity matches are...
The opportunity for wanna be's and never were's to match their egos with the abilities of actual soccer players...
Celtic and Stilyan Petrov each put sides together for a charity match at Celtic Park...
Gabby Agbonlahor challenged One Direction's Louis Tomlinson for the ball and...
Here's the play...
Now, Agbonlahor is getting death threats on the Twitter for the tackle... and, admittedly, the HQ has BARELY heard of One Direction...
This, we can file into the "Get A Life" file...

OSG High: SoCal HS Suspends Boys Hoops Program After Death Threats
((HT: KABC-TV))
Newport-Harbor High's boys basketball program is currently suspended since their 15-year veteran coach and his wife received threats over an undisclosed topic.
There is a police investigation going on as, apparently, Post-Its were placed on the car of Coach Larry Hirst and his wife- they both work at the school.
The HQ knows that there are times that we can say "Has it come to this...?" and answer the question before we ask and answer the whole deal...
Eileen Frere is at Newport-Harbor...
The HQ is of the opinion that those who chased the coach off should come forward, but they will continue their cowardice and immaturity until further notice.
