Sevilla Players Earn their Weight in Beer
By: Bob | June 4th, 2007
The UEFA Cup trophy is a pretty ornament that is usually only used as an exercise device when players lift it above their heads after the final. It then presumably goes on a victory parade and ends up in a trophy case until it is lifted over heads a year later. This year’s UEFA Cup champions, however, might have a practical use for the cup.
They can use it to chug beer.
Treble-chasing Sevilla will have plenty of liquid refreshment to celebrate with after a local brewery paid up on a promise to provide every player in the squad with his weight in beer if they reclaimed their UEFA Cup title.
At a weigh-in, goalkeeper Andres Palop was presented with 85 litres of beer in 225 bottles and the process will be repeated for the rest of the squad.
There really aren’t enough jobs were you get a beer bonus nor are there enough stadiums with beer pipelines. Of course, this could serve as a detriment too. If I knew I could get my weight in beer I would be going back for a couple extra servings at the buffet line.
For some reason, this reminded me of the all-time best odd payment story from Russia. There are still unwanted sex toys floating around the markets today.
