Big Shots for September 22, 2011
This week we learn that Sir Alex Ferguson talks to a cartoon figurehead (no, not the Queen), men aren't allowed to watch soccer in Turkey, and chickens can enter camel races. Victor Ortiz learns that leading with his face is a marginal boxing strategy. We also learn, too late, that watching the Nude Blacks rugby club burns painful images into our retinas. There's also mountain biking in Pakistan, triathlon in Japan, and the UCI World Championships in cycling in Copenhagen. Big Shots will not publish next week, but will return October 6.

NO MEN ALLOWED: More than 41,000 women and children filled Sukru Saracoglu Stadium to watch Fenerbahce play against Manisapor in a Turkish League soccer match in Istanbul September 20. 2011. Turkey came up with a radical solution for tackling crowd violence at football matches -- ban the men and let only women and children in. Under new rules approved by Turkey's football association, only women and children under the age of 12 will be admitted to watch games -- for free -- involving teams which have been sanctioned for unruly behavior by their fans.

Doesn't het hit him in the face with his fist in stead of hitting him in the fist with his face?
In picture #3, the Phillies didn't beat the Cardinals they beat the Atlanta Braves. The Cardinals had a similiar celebration after clinching the National League Wild Card with their victory over the Houston Astros. Great picture though!
