Because it's not just goat decapitations. Turkish fans take their hoops as seriously as a lion takes lunch. They will heat up coins with lighters and throw them at players -- even their own. Also batteries, shoes and rocks.

It's not unusual for players who are not pleasing the team's ownership to have their hot water, electricity and Internet cut off in their company-supplied apartments. This happened to a teammate of Baron's at Mercin, Marcus Cousin (University of Houston). "He ended up staying with me it was so bad," Baron says.
