Deadspin
Reason No. 32,452 that people in other countries are infinitely more unhealthy about their sports than we are: Welsh Premier team Carmarthen Town has signed a man who is currently in jail. Craig Hughes, who plays some position called "striker," was banned from attending soccer games for eight years after starting several fights afterwards, but the club is hoping to get him a 12-hour release for their next game. Honestly, though: Isn't this just kind of eliminating the middle man?
(By the way, that's not the guy in the picture. Would be cool if it were, though.)
