Man killed by wife and two children for trying to watch the World Cup on TV

Article here from The Huffington Post about a domestic dispute over what to watch on TV that turned deadly. Excerpt:

'JOHANNESBURG -- Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match nstead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country.

David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show.

"He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday"That is when the argument came about.

"In that argument, they started assaulting him."
...
"He was always a happy man, never violent," Makoeya's nieces, Miriam and Anna, told the Daily Sun newspaper. "On Saturday, we saw him the last time at a funeral.""

Now just imagine if it was the husband who killed the wife while she was trying to watch something besides the World Cup. I'd bet that many people in the media would try to make a connection between major sporting events and domestic violence as a way of bashing masculinity. This connection was already erroneously made shortly before Word Cup as shown here; incidentally it was a man that was killed over a simple domestic dispute which happened to involve the World Cup.
