A clip from the Mainichi Shimbun, on the death of Noe Ito and Sakae Osugi.

The Amakasu Incident occurred on September 16, 1923, in the chaos immediately following the Great Kantō earthquake, in Japan. Fearing that anarchists would take advantage of the disaster to overthrow the government, a squad of military police led by Lieutenant Masahiko Amakasu arrested Sakae Osugi, Noe Ito, and Sakae's six year old nephew. They were later beaten to death and their bodies thrown into a well.

The killing of such high profile anarchists, along with a young child, became known as the Amakasu Incident, and sparked surprise and anger throughout Japan.

The 1969 film Eros Plus Massacre depicts the incident.

A football player or footballer is a sportsperson who plays one of the different types of football. The main types of football that are played are association football, American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football, Rugby league, and Rugby union.

It has been estimated that there are 250 million association football players in the world,^[1] and many play the other forms of football.

Career[link]

Football players generally begin as amateurs and the best players progress to become professional players. Normally they start at a youth team (any local team) and from there, based on skill and talent, scouts offer contracts. Once signed, they learn to play better football and some advance to the senior or professional teams.

Psychological aspects of performance[link]

Research shows that association football players that take less than 200ms after the referee blows their whistle for a penalty kick are significantly more likely to miss scoring than those that take over a second.^[2]

Common injuries[link]

Head[link]

American football players are prone to head injuries. This may make them prone to Alzheimers.^[3]

Knee[link]

Anterior cruciate ligaments are particularly vulnerable in most types of football due to injuries that can be sustained during tackles.
