Is "The Virgin Of Asia" The Final Straw?

1
At times of crisis, you expect your leaders to show strength and courage, to be at the forefront of the action, arguing the good argument and fighting the just cause.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that our Great Leader, the arch self-publicist, Richard Scudamore, has been conspicuous by his total absence from the hyperrealities currently playing out on the stage of English football regarding the fit-and-proper-person's-test (FPPT).

No smoking dude

1
Argentina has a team named Colon -- stop laughing -- which has a coach named Antonio Mohamed.

He's paid about $750 in fines for smoking on the bench, but he doesn't care.

The monetary damages are worth lighting up. So the reigning body had to do something dire.
But Argentina's Football Association said Friday it won't just fine Mohamed, but will suspend him for several games the next time he smokes a cigarette on the field.

Repurposing condoms as soccer socks

2
Every now and then I read an article that catches me off guard and this is one such piece.

I turns out that the big soccer fashion trend in Cape Town, South Africa, these days is to wear condoms on your feet to keep your socks up.

The need for such an innovated way of using these prophylactics is the result of a lack of proper soccer gear, such as socks with elastic to hold them in place. Click to continue reading...
