=In Mexico, Violence Scars the Game= An gunman opened fire on fans of a team that he opposed. He had no drug cartel ties. And he later escaped where he was later caught by Mexican law enforcers. It may not seem like it, but this represents another step forward in Mexico's efforts to rid itself of corruption. There was a time when money meant power in Mexico, and the rich could pay to sidestep their misdeeds. Now a super-rich soccer star stares down the barrel of a no-parole life sentence, and he was just a facilitator. He didn't actually stuff people into vans or cut off their earlobes, but no matter. As in the US, being part of the conspiracy makes him as guilty. At most, his money may get him a few extra perks - in Mexican prison.
