Deadspin
You know, sometimes we wonder if Deadspin were British (or Czech) and the major sport was — ha! — soccer, we might have even more fun around here.
Because if the Bears had reacted to their Super Bowl loss the way the Czech Republic team reacted to their Euro 2008 qualifying loss, we'd have a sex boat-esque story on our hands.
Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky and five of his Czech Republic team-mates landed the whole squad a 25,000 fine from the Czech FA after spending a night in a hotel with six prostitutes. A female Czech journalist broke the story after she had visited the hotel room herself as an autograph hunter. Players 'drank and hugged prostitutes' while she spoke to Jan Polak at the room door.
Rosicky apologised for his actions at a press conference. He said: 'We have been correctly punished. We are very sorry.' However, he said he had a 'clear conscience' when asked about the presence of the prostitutes.
As well he should! All he did was drink and "hug" some prostitutes. Sometimes, after a devastating loss, all you need is a long, hot, sweaty, depraved hug. Particularly when your teammates are in the room; it's kind of like a collective cleansing.

You're only supposed to hug a prostitute? Man, have I been going about that all wrong.
nothing better than a Whores! tag
i am totally adopting "hug" as my new euphemism
What's the big deal, it was only a friendly.
Hell, I love that there are that many Deadspin posts with the "Whore!" tag.
Hugs, eh? Sounds like Bryant McKinney needed to show these guys how it's done.
oh, and a resounding hell yes across the board
HR approves of the hugs.
(And, of course, GOOD GANESHA YES to the 4th degree).
@lieutenant winslow:
"Clear conscience" could be another oft-used euphemism.
Those aren't whores! Those are Footballer's Wi....oh. Whores.
fuck yes, yes, sure, fuck yes.
At least he didn't hug them in an Outback.
I hit the Whores! tag to read more about Whores! and the first story that popped up was about Greg Oden.
Very, very wrong.
So is "room full of whores" the proper terminology for a group of whores, like a "pride of lions" or "herd of cows" or a "bar full of Deadspin commenters"?
Great tag: Arsenal, EPL, soccer, whores!
Or as we ManU backers read it: "Arsenal - EPL soccer whores!"
Yes^4.
I remember the last time I was in Amsterdam and we paid 50 Euro for my friends birthday hug.
@Dweeze: I believe they run in "gaggles."
Oh, so that's why it's "vice" captain instead of "assistant" captain.
I lost the NLDS on MVP Baseball the other night. Do I get whores too?
what they didn't say is that they were getting "down south mouth hugs" from the whores. those are the best hugs.
I would suggest ESPN.com do more editing of its Page 2 columnists -- some of whom seem to shoot from the hip for the sole purpose of shooting from the hip. In the same vein, ESPN commentators, including some of the network's biggest stars on TV and radio, might be more thoughtful and less outrageous and loud in their opinions. I've always believed just because someone has the title of commentator or columnist, it doesn't mean he or she should not be held to the same journalistic standards of fairness and accuracy as everyone else on the ESPN team. I also wonder why some commentators believe viewers are interested in their political views? Also, ESPN editors should be more careful of their staffers claiming exclusive stories when these stories are not always exclusive.
Don't leave Ombudsman! You've finally grown balls!
Man. I feel sorry for the whore who drew Jan Koller's straw.
@The Great Barstoolio:
Gaggles?
These ladies are pros, TGB.
They haven't gagged on a cock since they were in Middle School.
Not to be too nitpicky, but the one on the right end is a little beefy around the knees.
@SagerBombs:
Unfortunately, after those comments, I don't think he'll be around very long.
@Carson:
You're just jealous because the only hugging ManUre does is between Rooney and Christina Ronaldo.
But in my sex ed class, they said that hugging wouldn't make my wee-wee itch...
Harold Reynolds says hugs are fun
Harold Reynolds is a Czech name
Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky
Hirshey's behind this. I can't explain how, exactly, but he's behind this.
Let's see.....a kiss of vampires, a murder of crows,.....I think it's probably a Cash of Whores.
@I_Am_Eaten_By_Wolves: Well played
To be fair, prostitution, like absinthe, is legal in the Czech Republic. Thus, I'm not sure why the players would even be in trouble.
And if paying for hugs is a criminal act anywhere in the world, well, then I just don't want to live anymore.
A female Czech journalist broke the story after she had visited the hotel room herself as an autograph hunter.
I'm not buying it. She wanted some action herself and got jealous, because, well, she's a Czech journalist.
the one on the right end is a little beefy around the knees.
do i really need to explain why it helps her to have a little extra meat around her knees
@Lady Andrea: +1...a kiss of vampires? hadn't heard that before.
@lieutenant winslow: The knees? I was too busy admiring ALL of her.
I see even our bravest misogynists have not dared to suggest anyone "hug it out, bitch."
Sadly, Milan Baros couldn't even score in a room full of whores.
Thanks, I'll be all night.
I wonder what Landon ponies up for after the USMNT fails to be Guatemala at home.
Thanks, I'll be all night.
Thanks, I'll be here all night.
[yesterday was my b-day, i'm a bit "foggy" this morning.]
@The Great Barstoolio: You sure you didn't mean "gargles"?
"There are the foxes"
"We are, six wild and crazy guys"
@lieutenant winslow: soccer players dont wear knee pads, and either should she.
Where this all went down, so to speak.
Y'know, "cause it's classy".
Will, the Ombudsman might possibly want a word with you at some point in the relatively near future concerning the possibly-and-maybe-sometimes-offensive nature of some of your posts.
@GlenAndersonLikesBoys: +1 with or without qualifiers.
@Lady Andrea:
Sorry, but I'm going with TGB on this - I like "gaggle of whores".
um... i believe the proper terminology is a boatload of whores.
just saying
I like to make whores gaggle.
Fixed. Dweeze your welcome.
@Dweeze: Can I at least use a Rookery of Whores? or a Bite of Whores?
