Colombian Soccer Player Could Face Jail Time For Kicking An Injured Owl
Animals, Soccer, What the hell is wrong with people March 1st. 2011, 4:30pm“A professional soccer player in Colombia faces up to three months in jail for kicking an opposing team’s lucky owl.” The owl who lived in the stadium of the Alético Junior squad in Barranquilla died earlier today. The owl was lying on the field after being struck by the ball when Luis Moreno booted the bird. Don’t worry, Moreno apologized saying, “I did it to see if the owl could fly.” A-hole. (CNN)

Dumbshit owl shouldn’t have been on the field…and perhaps it was suicidal but couldn’t find a ball diamond a la the bird that met its merciful demise thanks to Randy Johnson

It’s funny. I hear about all the chaos going down in the Middle East and in Mexico and I have zero reaction. I watch this and I get fucking furious!

Perspective…….he haz eet

They use a live owl as a mascot? They ought to stuff it and save money on the food bill.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:43 PM
I’m sure PETA considers this to be the most heinous act ever associated with Colombian soccer
March 1st, 2011 at 4:44 PM
I thought he was just trying to get it off the field.

LSU has a live tiger. I just thought I’d point that out.

I want to see someone kick that thing.

The food bill must be enormous.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:47 PM
try kicking that and see how far you get.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Well played.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Remember when Uga bit a dude? I think it would end up wore. I won’t lie, I think I’d rather enjoy an on field tiger mauling.

I’m sure it is. And it’s a state school too.
Also, I’m sure Ralphie the Buffalo eats plenty.

Notre Dame has a little ginger midget running around….

He was just trying the answer the age old question: How many kicks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll Owl?
March 1st, 2011 at 4:50 PM
I’d like to score a touchdown in Boulder and try to tip the buffalo over as part of the celebration…Bevo the longhorn however always looks ready to gore a bitch so I’d leave him alone
March 1st, 2011 at 4:52 PM

Yeah, but how much could he possibly eat. I’m just a bowl of cheerios and a tot of Bushmills and he’s good to go for the day.

Actually, open air stadiums will use owls or falcons or hawks to keep pigeons away — saves on cleaning costs of pigeon crap from seats. Emirates Stadium in London has a pair of hawks they let nest there.
/2-1 Chelsea. Arsenal 1 point off lead with a game in hand!

Just throw a few coonasses out there and watch the fun.

That is actually brilliant. Pigeons are satan’s asshole.

I had to read this twice. I almost got mad.

I think I’m picking up some ground bison on the way home now. Thanks.

Getting raped at work today. Always fun. Hope I didn’t miss much.

This is the type of lame jokes that Deadspin commenters make.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:56 PM
cheerios? I’m about positive that little bastard is eating Lucky Charms.

Great choice. One of the best steaks I have had was a 10 oz. strip of bison with bone marrow butter. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:58 PM
If that leprechaun is eating anything other than Guinness and Jameson Notre Dame athletics are even weaker than first thought

How true. Epic joke fail by me.

Amazing the transformation that site went through. I used to go there as much as I come here now.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:59 PM
I think it’s actually below deadspin standards. Neither clever enough, nor crude enough.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:59 PM
Bone marrow butter . . . yum

Bushmills >>> Jameson. Simple fact.
March 1st, 2011 at 4:59 PM
But it is lame, like most of the Deadspin comments.

I’m a fan of both.

I am too. But I can still rank them.

Tullamore Dew or GTFO.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:02 PM
Touche. I was sipping on some Bushmills earlier this week. Damn. Now I want some whiskey with my bison burgers!
March 1st, 2011 at 5:03 PM
Tullamore Dew or GTFO.
I was talking about relatively cheap, mass market Irish whiskies. Tullamore Dew is good as well, but it’s hardly as accessible as Bushmills or Jameson.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:03 PM
Never had it.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:04 PM
damn. I just don’t have the stones for Irish Whiskey. I tried TD once and about threw up on contact.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:05 PM
this is so wrong
March 1st, 2011 at 5:05 PM
Fair enough. The bar down the street from where I live (Duffy’s. Winning.) has it like whoa. Refuse to take shots of anything else there.

Clontarf single malt is a pretty easy to drink Irish whiskey. Not too expensive either. Maybe $25 or $30 for a bottle.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:07 PM
Fair enough. The bar down the street from where I live (Duffy’s. Winning.) has it like whoa. Refuse to take shots of anything else there.
Please tell me you confine your shots to Jameson, Bushmills, and TD. If you do shots of Redbreast, we might have problems.
/Redbreast is to be savored.

There is a bar in Chicago called Duffy’s. And it’s a U of M bar as well. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s also a popular hang out for douchebags.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:09 PM
Duffy’s in Chicago
March 1st, 2011 at 5:09 PM
Shots of Jameson or Bushmills is an all too frequent occurrence in my life.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:12 PM
marinate them in your favorite hot sauce and make a nice blue cheese butter to put on top. use a mild blue cheese, make sure it’s room temp, as well as the butter, when you mix them. takes about 2 minutes.
March 1st, 2011 at 5:13 PM
Fuck yes.
