I’ve covered fan fights a lot over the last few years, and I’ve seen just about every kind of fight you can imagine. You know what I’ve learned? Well, not much, actually. But I can think of at least one thing: don’t try to break up these fights. I mean, have you seen what these [...]

Hey, remember how much everyone hated all the vuvuzelas at the World Cup 2010 in South Africa?

Mountain Biker Collides with Antelope in South Africa’s Cape Epic Race (Video)
Don’t you hate it when you’re riding your mountain bike along a dirt path in South Africa and an antelope comes out of nowhere and plows into you? I know I do. And I imagine Austrian cyclist Robert Mennen hates it also. On Monday, during the first stage of South Africa’s Cape Epic race, a [...]

Rugby Fans Brawl During Super League Match in South Africa (Video)
There was a really nasty brawl at the Sharks-Kings game back on March 9. However, it wasn’t the Sharks-Kings game you’re thinking.

South African Soccer Player Mistakes Opponent’s Crotch For The Ball (And Kicks It…Hard) [Video]
The way the following video starts off, with Rooi Mahamutsa pleading with the officials not to send him off, the viewer might be led to believe that there has just been some grave miscarriage of justice.

South African Cricket Player Has Career Ended By Freak Eye Injury (Video)
Don’t worry, you don’t need to know a lot about cricket—a strange and mercurial game to most North American sports fans—to appreciate this story.

“Oh that’s flush.” That was how the commentators of this cricket match between New Zealand and South Africa described the scene after watching replays of Kane Williamson taking an 86 m.p.h. pitch to the groin.

Maybe [...]

Looking back on the past month in South Africa, I think it is fair to say that the 2010 World Cup has provided soccer fans with a fair share of highlight reel goals.
