Misfiring sports stars should be hit in the face if they fail to score a penalty, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has suggested. The furious comment came after two footballers assaulted a government official in Moscow.
Football players Aleksandr Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev, already known for outrageous stunts, reportedly initiated a brawl in a cafe. After mocking an official from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Kokorin allegedly hit him over the head with a chair.
“Why havent government officials thought of hitting footballers over the head with chairs for missing shots and not scoring goals? Imagine, if [a player] misses a penalty – he gets a chair in the face,” Maria Zakharova wrote on Facebook.
