Dead Man Attends Soccer Game

Dead Man Attends Soccer GameYou, as an American, are now even rarer for not liking soccer. While you previously only had to contend with billions of people on the planet, they can now count the dead among their number.

Just hours after 17-year-old Christopher Jacome was gunned down in his local park on Saturday, ultra fans of top level Colombian team Cucuta Deportivo stole his body from the funeral home, and charged through security to bring it into the stadium, coffin and all.

This joins the ranks of great moments in dead people sports history, along with that guy who had himself embalmed standing up in Yankees gear, and Bernie Lomax playing beach volleyball.
