Was there resistance? If there was, how did the soccer player subdue the man? Soccer players are know for falling to the ground on contact, like a sniper bullet hit them...cowards. The World Cup is the lamest sporting event ever! Look! I'm hurt! I'm hurt! I'm hurt! What a bunch of lame-wads!

While I agree that soccer is a slightly boring sport(i'm a hockey man myself) it is still a funny incident tho the first paragraph makes you think more happened than did happen.

Will this mentally unstable naked passenger be labeled a terrorist.

"The Terror of Nudity!" and the heroic soccer team willing to expose themselves to Nude cooties.

Sick people are everywhere. I wonder why no one noticed this persons behavior until he started trying to open the exit? TSA at its finest. A Marshall on every plane - riiiight.

You don't have to be rude in expressing your opinion. Many people prefer soccer to other sports but this thread was not started by Finn1916 to discuss what sport is better, and by the way one sport is not better than another because people have different preferences. Anyway, this thread is about a completely different topic which is the incident in the airplane. Thus, I would appreciate you keeping rude comments to yourself and if rude comments are the only comments you're going to contribute then please do not post at all. It is people like you who make life miserable for others in this crazy predictable world of ours that we unfortunately have to share. Now back to the topic at hand.

Something being better than something is only a human way of thinking. In the end it's up to human preferance. And yes "I" think Football (the real name) is better than baseball haha.

I would of watched the nutcase try to the open a door that is held shut by a few hundred pounds of air pressure.

Plug type doors FTW.
