And I thought the Detroit Lions pic was bad.
Oooh, wonder what he would have done if they'd lost? *L*
This has got to be the most bizarre thing I have read in my life!
He doesn't understand why there is an investigation?
This guy is clearly from Palm Beach, right? :-)
What in the blue hell do you expect?
Well I remember when I played fast pitch softball, anyone who hit a round-tripper knew as he did his home run trot that his team mates would empty the bench and anxiously await his arrival at home plate so everyone could bite him in the genitals. I understand that it is still the custom in San Francisco. Gosh, lighten up and celebrate diverse cultural customs.
/sarcasm and pure disgust off/
I understand this soccer team has a motto, "Go out and win this one for the nipper".
Not even the bite-victim??
Soccer was invented so the women folk would have something to do while the men were out fighting wars.
Player celebrates goal by nibbling scorer's penis
Midfielder Francisco Gallardo has been charged by the Spanish soccer federation for an unusual goal celebration. Gallardo bit Sevilla team-mate Jose Antonio Reyes' penis after he had scored in the 4-0 win over Valladolid.
Reyes was besieged by team-mates after scoring and Gallardo was seen to bend down and nibble at the goalscorer's genitalia.
He could face a fine or suspension for his actions, which may deemed to be an infringement of what is described in the federation's rule book as "sporting dignity and decorum".
"I felt a bit of a pinch but I didn't realise what Gallardo had done until I saw the video.
''The worst thing about it is the teasing I'm going to get from my teammates," Reyes said.
I think this is just a cultural thing, although I think I will stick to basketball.
As an American who is not a "sports enthusiast" this justs looks like run of the mill jock behavior. Did I miss something?
In April, John Hopoate, a winger for the West Tigers was suspended for twelve matches (and later resigned from the club) following a bout of "unsportsmanlike" conduct during a rugby match.
Seems that Mr. Hopoate stuck his finger into the anus of not one, not two, but three North Queensland players in the course of the match. He denied it, but the video was, well, conclusive. In the ensuing media coverage of the story, it turned out that it wasn't the first time he had pulled this stunt, and that his coach, Terry Lamb new about the previous incident, and had seen video tape of it and laughed.

But never fear, he was back in the NRL playing for the Sea Eagles in July.
In an even more bizarre twist on the tale, the New Zealand Cancer Society used a photo of one of the incidents in an advert for prostate cancer checks, which irritated the NRL and Mr. Hopoate's manager mightily.
