All of you football fans no doubt saw the violent kick by Pittsburgh Riverhounds' Romeo Parkes to the back of New York Red Bulls' Karl Ouimette from over a week ago.
The condemnation was harsh worldwide and even tennis great Martina Navratilova chimed in with her thoughts. Sadly, football in the United States was finally thrust into the limelight - and in a negative light at that. Parkes lost his job, and the sports world roared their approval.
Now the sports media left this story but IMOTGP has not and we can reveal as a result of our informal investigation that Ouimette is a major douchebag. We are not excusing the kick in the back but it hasn't been reported widely that Ouimette was suspended for three games for punching Parkes in that match.
Why has this not been reported? Because the gutless Canadian was too shady to be caught on camera sucker-punching the Jamaican, we can only surmise. The official USL response is that Ouimette initially punched Parkes with closed fists and the Pittsburgh man retaliated. That's why Ouimette was given a red card in the first place. There are rumors on the blogosphere and Twitterverse that Ouimette is a big jerk in MLS circles as well.
So remember football fans, look deeper into the story to see the story behind the story when you see such incidents. It takes two to tango and while Parkes was a moron, Ouimette is a jackass as well. Both should be banned from football. Thank you and this has been an IMOTGP investigation.
