Diego Maradona wins women’s rights award
November 18th, 2009 by why be athletic | Posted in footie, soccer | 554 viewsZURICH (Reuters) – Argentina coach Diego Maradona was banned for two months and fined more than $24,000 (14,359 pounds) on Sunday after a foul-mouthed outburst at the end of last month’s decisive World Cup qualifier in Uruguay.
Maradona, 49, who faced a potential ban from some of his team’s matches at next year’s World Cup, apologised for his behaviour and showed remorse, soccer’s governing body FIFA said.
He was sanctioned after an expletive-filled rant when interviewed on the touchline and produced another outburst in the post-match media conference, which was broadcast live on several television networks. Maradona told the media to “suck it and keep on sucking.”
Quote of the week: “I apologise to women, to my mother, to Argentinian women, to Uruguayan women and to women throughout the world. But only to them, not the others”
Sickest goal ever possibly.
