ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The Greek government suspended play in all professional team sports for two weeks Friday after a fan was killed in a riot before a women’s volleyball match.

The ban, which covers soccer, basketball, volleyball and other sports, will last until April 13.

A man was killed and seven others were hospitalized Thursday when fans from rival women’s volleyball clubs Panathinaikos Athens and Olympiakos Piraeus fought near Athens.

jay: wait, women’s volleyball? dudes were juiced up enough before a women’s sporting event to kill someone? though maybe this wasn’t actually about women’s volleyball? it’s funny to think about people rioting before a wnba game here. it means they’d have to a) know that the wnba is still around b) show up and c) care.
