THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Richard Nieuwenhuizen was doing what he loved: watching his son play soccer and volunteering as a linesman. On Monday, the 41-year-old father's passion for the sport cost him his life. Prosecutors announced Tuesday they are charging three players, two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old, in the attack on Nieuwenhuizen after a youth match between local clubs — Buitenboys and Nieuw Sloten. The players, whose identities have not been released, are to be charged with manslaughter, assault and public violence. They will be arraigned Thursday at a closed hearing. Prosecutors have released no details of a possible motive, and Buitenboys club chairman Marcel Oost said the reason for the attack was not certain. "We still don't have a clear picture yet," prosecution spokeswoman Brigit Haan told The Associated Press. The deadly assault sent shock waves through the Netherlands, a country where soccer is king.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
