Chava Update

Doctors continue to be worried about Salvador Cabañas's health, and say that it is vital that inflammation around his brain be reduced in the next 72 hours.

A busboy in the bar who witnessed the attack says that the shooter was angry with Cabañas for América's poor performance in a 2-0 loss to Morelia last weekend. According to the employee, Cabañas faced his attacker and said, "Shoot me. Shoot me if you have a lot of balls."

Mexico City authorities have arrested seven employees of the bar where Cabañas was shot for forty days under the arraigo.

Yeah if that's true, that wasn't a great move on his part. It reminds me of the murder of the boxer Vernon Forrest this summer, where he pulled a gun to defend himself from a robbery, but then was killed in what amounted to a dispute over a watch. Really sad.
