Over-reaction to relegation nearly ends badly

For the first time in their 110 year history, four-time league champions Vasco da Gama were relegated from Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Feeling that he couldn’t live without the excitement of top flight football, one fan decided to climb atop the roof of the Estádio São Januário with the intention of meeting his maker.

Fortunately, he is seized by police and an inexplicably shirtless man before the 36,000 crowd had something else to be unhappy about.
