A man who was working as a linesman during a youth soccer match in the Netherlands has died after being beaten and kicked by several players.
Richard Nieuwenhuizen collapsed and was rushed to the hospital hours after players from Amsterdam club Nieuw Sloten punched and kicked him. Nieuwenhuizen's club, Buitenboys, announced the death Monday but not the exact cause.
Three players, whose ages range from 15 to 16, were arrested earlier Monday for alleged involvement in the beating.
Dutch sports minister Edith Schippers told national broadcaster NOS even before the news of Nieuwenhuizen's death that "it is absolutely terrible that something like this can happen on a Dutch sports field." Full story...
