Absurd severity? Kicked out of the square for polluting the air

Swedish media trumpet about an unheard-of event in the country's football.

In the seventh league of the country by capacity, in the match between the teams "Jarna SK B" and "Pershagen SK", the away player Adam Lind Ljungkvist was expelled from the field for a second yellow card.

However, the footballer did not receive a penalty for rough play or disrespecting the referee, but for... polluting the air.

"I felt sick and vomited during the last minute of the match. Shortly after, the referee approached and showed me the second yellow card, so I was expelled from the field.

I got angry and couldn't believe what had happened. Perhaps the referee thought I was trying to "sicken" the opponent's player? But provoking by polluting the air is not smart or normal.

The referee said it was unsportsmanlike behavior," - complained Ljungkvist.
