London Triads: 'We Will Kill QPR'
As long as this story gets better and better, I will continue to write about it.  The London arm of the Hong Kong-based Chinese mafia group the "Triads" has made death threats to players of the Queens Park Rangers for their roles in a massive soccer brawl Wednesday with the Chinese national under-21 team.  According to Friday's Daily Mirror, the London Triads have sent letters to the Rangers players promising revenge for the dirty fight that made China, I'll say it, look like a bunch of bitches.  One interesting fact to surface Friday is that the Ranger throwing the punch in the famous punch photo (scroll down) is not a player at all, but rather the team's assistant manager Richard Hill.  In response to the death threats, QPR has increased security at its Harlington training facility and at the team's away games.  The Triads, while based in Hong Kong, have a network all over the world including New York, Sydney, Amsterdam, L.A. and of course, London.  The gang is perhaps the most sophisticated, exclusive and feared organized crime group in the world.
