Ball Boy Banned after Hitting Keeper with Iron Bar

Not to be outdone by his goal scoring compatriot and riot starting colleagues, a ball boy in Brazil has been suspended for 30 days for hitting a goalkeeper with an iron bar during a match between Comercial and Botafogo-Riberao Preto. The incident, captured in the video above, started when the ball boy hid the ball behind an advertising board instead of handing it to the Botafogo keeper Marcao. After the two argued, the boy did his best professional wrestling routine by whacking Marcao with an iron bar that just happened to be on the field. Apparently the steel chair must have been hidden at the other end of the field. Marcao wasn’t hurt during the incident.
