Soccer Player killed In Fight With Opposing Team

A 29-year-old California soccer player died 15-days after a large fight erupted during a match over a disagreement with the referee’s decision, according to the Oxnard Police Department.

On July 10, Oxnard police responded to reports of a large fight between two adult soccer teams on a high school soccer field. Authorities found Misael Sanchez unresponsive and not breathing, Oxnard police said in a release.

“The fight occurred when the two teams disagreed with a referee’s decision,” Oxnard police said. Sanchez was on the field playing when the fight broke out. “During the fight, Sanchez was assaulted by multiple assailants,” police said. (CNN)

Why, on this earth, did this young man have to die while playing the game that he loved?

Will modern society come to its senses and realize violence is never the proper solution to a problem.

Misael Sanchez had his whole life ahead of him.

To have it taken away in such a brutal fashion is a loss for all of us, not only his loving family and friends.

What is the solution?
