bilby commented on the word soccer witchcraft riot
"Eleven people have been killed in a stadium riot in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo after a soccer player tried to use witchcraft to win a local match, United Nations-backed Radio Okapi has reported.
Nyuki club was losing to local rivals Socozaki on Sunday (local time) when Nyuki's goalkeeper advanced up the pitch and tried to use "fetishist" spells to turn the tide of the match, Okapi said, without giving more details.
When a police commander tried to break up an ensuing brawl between rival players, members of the crowd pelted him with rocks, the radio added.Police fired teargas in response, causing a stampede to the exits in which 11 people were killed and several injured, Okapi said."

It sounds like the stampede was actually caused by police firing into the air and causing a panic, but whatever. Great word.
