The president of Brazilian football team Chapecoense was buried Sunday as fans paid their final tributes, trying to put behind them the worst moment in the club's history. Sandro Pallaoro was on the plane that crashed almost a week ago as the club was traveling to Colombia to play the first of two games to determine the Copa Sudamericana champion - the No. 2 club tournament in Latin America. The dead were honored Saturday at Chapeco's stadium, with burials taking place across the country.
