Kevin Richardson, known as the Lion Whisperer, has spent 20 years building an amazing report with some of the world's most feared animals.

For a second I thought this article was about Ndamukong Suh.

What does this prove? It's not like lions are known for being great at soccer. Now if he could play jai alai with lions, I'd be impressed.

And when he gets eaten, we’ll get some article about how it was a tragedy. There is a reason they call them “wild” animals. They are not your friends no matter how cute they are or no matter how many Warner Brothers cartoons you have seen where they talk and act friendly.

“Thats not football, thats soccer.

Said the lion, “Thats not football, that’s lunch.”

That source is wrong. I’ve watched Kevin Richardson on Animal Planet. Those lions aren’t wild; he raised them.

If they were wild, other balls would be in play.

As with food issues, it was the female who caught and killed the ball.

Did he give them a traditional lionish upbringing? Or he raised them as humans?

Well, they still look like big cats to me.

I’m no expert but I think if you mount a wild male lion, you better be “equipped” to back it up.
