Not a good title for an article:

When the article is about Nicky Butt's transfer fee.

I can see where Americans would be bewildered by this story. Folks involved in American pro sports usually save their killing, raping, etc. for off the field.

There was also the junior ice hocky team a couple of years ago where one of the fathers beat the coach to death after practice or visa versa, can't remember the specific details.
