Soccer Team Trades Player...For Meat

(From The Associated Press)

Romanian second division soccer club UT Arad sold a player in exchange for 33 pounds of meat, local sport daily
PRO SPORT reported on Monday.

However, the deal turned out badly for fourth-division Regal Horia, because defender MARIUS CIOARA decided to end his soccer career and find a job in agriculture or construction in Spain.

"We are upset because we lost twice -- firstly because we lost a good player and secondly because we lost our team's food for a whole week," a Regal Horia official was quoted as saying by the daily in its electronic edition.

Scott O'Leary, thanks for the post.
