Yes, That Would Hurt

Landon Donovan Gets Piss/Vomit/Beer Concoction Thrown on Him and Now Has Swine Flu

During the soccer match between USA and Mexico some classy fans thought it would be hilarious to throw a couple of cups of beer/vomit/urine at America's Landon Donovan while he was taking a corner kick. You can see the two cups airborne in the picture along with the riot police trying to keep things calm.

“The man with the tri-colored mohawk took a swig of beer, stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited the mixture back into his cup. In the next seat another man, who was wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon drawing of the decapitated heads of Barack Obama and Landon Donovan, poured out what remained of the Corona beer he had been chugging and urinated into his cardboard drinks container.

Then, according to a neutral bystander who witnessed these disgusting acts, the pair stood on their seats, high-fived and hurled their vile concoctions in the direction of Donovan, the United States men’s national team star who was preparing to take a corner kick 15 yards away.”

If things were not bad enough, the American soccer star (oxymoron?) now has H1N1, also known as swine flu. I'm sure he isn't looking forward to going back to Mexico any time soon. [Yahoo!]
