Doing the saint a disservice

On Superbowl Sunday, a quick look at scenes from Sicily that hopefully won't be replicated in Miami. Of all the photographs from Friday night's riots at the Palermo-Catania match, this is perhaps the most bizarre -- fans of Catania honouring their patron saint, Saint Agatha, before the match. And then Agatha wept as the mayhem unfolded, captured fairly well in these Sky Italia video clips via La Gazzetta dello Sport.
