From bad officiating to bad sportsmanship, these are 10 Bad Sports Moments.



1: 1985 World Series Game 6; The Denkinger Blown Call

This basically cost the St. Louis Cardinals the World title.

2: 2011 Cincinnati at Xavier Men's Basketball Brawl

A rivalry goes from powder keg to explosion at the end of a blowout.

3: 2007 Washington at Oregon State Football Blown Call

Knee down, thigh down, side down, ruled a fumble anyway. Don't worry, Beavers fans, OSU held on for the win.

4: NHL; 1979 Boston Bruins brawl with New York Rangers fans

Phil Esposito could have qualified just for destroying his stick, but the Bruins decided to destroy some Rangers fans.

5: 2012 NFL; The Fail Mary

The play that basically ended the labor strife between the NFL and the Officials Union.

6: 2011 NASCAR Truck; Kyle Busch wrecks Ron Hornaday under caution

Don't make Rowdy angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. He also got in some trouble with NASCAR.

7: 1989 Columbus North at Martinsville Indiana High School Football Brawl

The CNHS Bulldogs were up big and apparently talking smack and the MHS Artesians had enough of it.

8: 2001 Boxing; James Butler sucker punches Richard Grant after match

Sadly, this isn't even the worst thing Butler did, but it's still pretty bad.

9: 2006 College Baseball; Brian Walker fakes being injured, strikes out, gets mad, gets tossed

In the years since this incident, Walker has shown this to younger players, advising them not to act the fool like he did.

10: 1972 Olympic Men's Basketball Gold Medal Ending

The official scorekeeper was so disgusted, he refused to sign his name to the scorecard, meaning technically this game still isn't official.
 
The third worst moment ever is an inconsequential fumble?
 
Seriously….such a top 10 without Malice at the Palace? Fail.

Kirk Gibson’s roid-fueled HR in the 1988 World Series should be at the top of this list.
 
The referee that got quartered and beheaded during a Brazilian 4th league soccer game....nothing beats that.

A 20-year-old referee was quartered and beheaded by spectators after he fatally stabbed a player during an amateur match in northeast Brazil. The horrifying and gruesome series of events began when the 31-year-old player, Josenir dos Santos Abreu, got into a phsyical referee Otavio Jordao da Silva, who then stabbed Dos Santos with a knife he had on him.

According to the AP, a statement from the state of Maranhao's public safety department said that the player's friends and relatives watching the stands charged the pitch, where they stoned the referee to death and then quartered his body. From there, the situation managed to get even more twisted.

From the Guardian:


Reports said that outraged spectators responded by running on to the field and stoning Da Silva, before severing his head and sticking it on a stake in the middle of the field.
Police at the regional headquarters of Santa Ines said a 27-year-old man was arrested on 2 July, with the investigation continuing.

The player who was stabbed died on the way to the hospital, while the mutilated remains of the referee were left on the pitch for the authorities to clean up. Once they did, all that was left was a blood-stained patch of grass and the piece of wood (pictured below) upon which the referee's head was impaled.

Interesting. I had family in both SL and KC at the time (me being in KC), during this series. I never gave a shit about baseball, but my father bet his brother (in SL) 100 bucks who would win.

My father received his winnings in a massive glass jar filled with pennies and filled with oil.

Now I understand
 
Todd Bertuzzi ruining that one dudes life.

Dale Earnhardt dying

Josh Hamilton killing that one dad.

Tony Stewart killing that one guy.

Orlando Brown losing an eye, then trying to kill officials.

Chris Webber calling a timeout he didn’t have.

All but the bold actually are good calls. Shannon falling to his death of his own free will is on him, not Josh.
 
That FIU Miami brawl? Guys coming off sidelines swinging helmets at players.

It was an awful moment. And of all guys to toss the death ball, it was a guy who didn’t need the extra inner turmoil.
