> In Naples, Italy, in November, masked men attacked four members of
the Napoli soccer team with iron bars, sending one of them to the
hospital.  A group of fans later claimed responsibility, declaring
that the attacks were to punish the players for a 5-1 loss to the AC
Milan team. "(The Napoli players) earn billions of lire and do not
play hard," declared the group.  "We will attack them again if they
do not improve."
