Who needs a yellowcard

Well the beautiful game is looking a little less beautiful these days. Four of the top Italian leagues clubs are being investigated for match fixing. This has shaken the Italian league and it has been placed in what is essentially receivership. Click here for story. There is talk of moving Juventus, the team in the center of the controversy, from Serie A (which it won the championship) to Serie B.
Now other teams are taking swipes at Juventus. Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini said on Sunday that recent Italian Serie A championships had been 'fixed'. Speaking on the final day of the season, Mancini was quoted as saying: 'It is difficult to make an evaluation when you play in fixed championships, in fact it is impossible.'
And now we have the women's soccer team at Northwestern hazing. Click here for story. It's not that surprising. But I thought that they would be smart enough at Northwestern to not get caught.

    Corruption in Italy? Nooo, I can't believe it!

    I also can't really believe that the Northwestern Hazing incident even made the news, as this kind of thing goes on at virtually ever college campus in America, and I think that everyone kind of knows that too.
