Leverkusen sack Emir Spahic for headbutting a steward

Footballers are notorious for getting away with murder, protected by clubs willing to defend the indefensible to protect their investment.

But it turns out there is a line they shouldn't cross...which was emphatically discovered by Bosnian defender Emir Spahic this week. The centre-back has been sacked by Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen for headbutting a steward following Wednesday's German Cup defeat to Bayern Munich. The confrontation reportedly followed stewards preventing Spahic's friends from entering the dressing room. Talk about an over-the-top reaction (the headbutt, not the sacking)... https://twitter.com/archiert1/status/587241878720028673
