The radio babbles about the unprecedented conduct of a football player, but it's far from the worst case of its kind.
Over a decade ago I was often in a bar watching an American TV channel which showed soccer matches, usually between European teams as I remember.
There's a huge amount of money in American football, so it was never surprising when a lot of effort was put into rubbishing soccer (which at that time was showing signs of becoming more popular over there).
So they really enjoyed bringing viewers shots of players falling, apparently injured, when the TV cameras had clearly showed that no other player had done anything to them.
But the most astonishing clip was one which showed a young player biting another player *in the crotch*.
My mind has boggled ever since.
