A Michigan referee of an adult-league soccer match died Tuesday, two days after being punched in the head by a player, authorities said.
John Bieniewicz, 44, died at Detroit Receiving Hospital from injuries suffered in what police said was an unprovoked attack. The blow left the victim unconscious and not breathing on the field, Livonia Police Chief Curtis Caid said.
After the attack, the player fled the field and waved his middle finger at the crowd.
Bieniewicz was in critical condition when he reached the hospital and was pronounced dead Tuesday morning.

CC, I suspect you’ll be proven right.
The Knockout Game exists, and Jihad exists, but I think you are right: this is neither. This is just a bad person who flipped out in the middle of a soccer game and attacked the ref.
Yeah and then gave the crowd the finger after he “accidentally” murdered the ref. Completely understandable. I know I believe this, thousands would not, but of course I do.

He killed him intentionally. U don’t kill someone with a single punch unless it is a specifically targeted area.
Haha, too funny. I’m trying to figure out why they are allowed here.
“Yeah and then gave the crowd the finger after he accidentally murdered the ref.”
Well, he hadn’t murdered the ref at all at that point. The ref died the next day.
Perhaps he was a psychic jihadist? Or he knows a secret kung fu technique that is guaranteed to kill a person after 24 hours? Like that 5 finger death touch from Kill Bill?
“He killed him intentionally. U dont kill someone with a single punch unless it is a specifically targeted area.”
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Any punch to the head can be fatal, if it is hard enough. A concussion is a potentially fatal condition, and you don’t have to hit any specific area to cause one, you only need to hit with enough force to drive the brain into the skull.
How nice that you take this man’s death so lightly.
I’m not taking his death lightly. I’m taking the absurd theory of some posters that this was an act of terrorism lightly.
Your posts show that you are quite delighted with your own wit. You overestimate yourself though.

Don’t like my posts? Skip right over them, then. It would suit me just fine.
I hope the next headline is, “Suspect shot while trying to escape”.
Thanks equalator.
