People Are Outraged That This Brazilian Soccer Team Signed a Goalie That Had His Girlfriend Murdered

A Brazilian soccer club is facing controversy and loss of sponsors after signing a goalkeeper convicted of having his former girlfriend murdered.

The soccer club Boa Esporte signed a contract with Bruno Fernandes de Souza on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.

“People run from me because of what happened in the past,” Fernandes de Souza said at a news conference.

The soccer player said he had ordered a friend to kill his former girlfriend, Eliza Samudio, and have her body fed to dogs back in 2010. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison, but last month, a judge granted him his freedom, according to the Associated Press.

Three sponsors have already withdrawn from supporting the team, The Guardian reports.

Apparently she got pregnant and he didn't want to pay child support... <smdh>

I still don't think what Vick did was all that bad. Especially when compared to these idiots who beat their wives/girlfriends, and now apparently murder them.

Well, it's soccer so, you know......

Wow. crazy:

I don't think what those idiots do is all that bad,when compared to what Hitler did to Jews,gypsies and homosexuals.

i agree.

but within the context of athletes getting second chances, this is weird.

I think they mean " Bruno Fernandes de Mexico"

I would like to know the thought process behind whomever thought that this would be a good idea.
Do people not protest in this country,or do they just not care?

let's be real here: if he starts making goals like crazy, nobody is gonna care.

that's sports.

Well, he's a goalkeeper, so they might care more.

We argue over players having various levels of violence, and whether they should be allowed to play in the NFL, or on the Browns .......

And this guy was convicted of having his girlfriend murdered. That's a whole different level of evil.

yea my bad. but sure he starts blocking goals then nobody cares what he did

Poor guy, all he did was <in my best Norm McDonald voice> "HAVE SOMEBODY MURDERED AND FED TO THE DOGS!".

That's BS. Guys like you might not care, but not everyone is shallow.

We have a President who bragged about walking into women's changing rooms unannounced. I'm not sure people can see pass their own nose these days.

uh huh.

so take your emotional period out of the equation. the fans of that team are doing what other fans of the team do when a craptastic person signs to a team: complain about what he did, claim to never support the franchise again.

then as soon as that player starts balling out, the majority of fans either make excuses for the situation, or simply don't talk about.

just like eagles fans did with Vick.

so while you're watching your lifetime movies and getting emotional calling me shallow, i'll continue posting from a realistic standpoint.

Got it...........you and your sidekick CHS are now excusing murder and making fun of me for not jumping on your hateful bandwagon.

nobody here is making an excuse. i'm not sure what you're reading.

Just because I stand to Swish's left, doesn't mean I'm the sidekick! Also I'm not making fun of anyone?

All I know is that I would not want a murderer on my team, and rhetoric about winning games or another tired [yeah, I spelled that right] but true slam on the president isn't going to change my mind.

Hell, I ripped the Browns for bringing in Art Briles and Gregg Williams.

I seem to remember that you felt the same way.

So please, fellas...............let's keep it real.

Oh, well then,...

Rumor is he's a Killer Goalie, so i could see why they signed him.. Omg that wasn't right to say, but I couldn't help but say it, please forgive me.
