Romanian player sold for a chunk of meatReuters


BUCHAREST -- Romanian second division soccer club UT Arad sold a player in exchange for 15 kilograms of meat, local sport daily Pro Sport reported on Monday.

However, fourth division Regal Horia made a bad deal because defender Marius Cioara decided to end his footballing career and take off to Spain to find a job in agriculture or construction.

"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.

I can only imagine what the Romanian 4th division is like....

When they had communism, they had food but no money. Now they have money but no food.

Hell, if you have money then you buy food. I'd say they have neither.

You can only buy food if food is avaiable to be bought. However, the situation is the reverse of what my comrade said. In teh dys of teh Iron Curtain, they had money, but no food. Now they have food, but no money.

Having to call people like UR your "comrade" seems like a pretty big disadvantage for the communist ideology.
