Tackling A Streaker Will Get You A Yellow Card

Written by Brian Powell on 21 July 2008.

This is just about the most random video I've ever seen. This highlight is from a Soccer match in Moscow between Spartak and Lokomotiv this past Saturday and features a male streaker who isn't exactly streaking (he still has khakis on which is good). A player decides to slow him down with a slide tackle and he's escorted off the field.

Pretty straightforward right? Well that is until the ref decides to give him a yellow card for some inexplicable reason. Via Fan IQ....

Well how about that? You learn something new in Sports every single day. I was thinking that the card was a joke at first, but apparently not. An illegal takedown is an illegal takedown.

Thanks For Taking Out That Streaker, Here's A Yellow Card (Fan IQ)
