Democracy in Egypt; if the freedom riots don't get you the football riots will

Yesterday nine people died in rioting that ensued when a group of protesters gathered to proclaim their unhappiness with Morsi.

Today 32 people died in rioting that ensued when a court upheld the death sentences of twenty-one soccer hooligans who precipitated a riot last year in which over seventy people died.

A death sentence for soccer hooliganism seems a tad harsh, but maybe that's all part and parcel of the new regime.

Sharia football rules.
