Belgian Soccer Player Julien Lecomte Knocked Out but Referee Shows him Red Card for Diving (video),

Julien Lecomte issued a Red card while on a stretcher in agony.

Diving is punishable by a yellow card in soccer and deemed to be "cheating," The only exception is Barcelona, who are awarded and loved for cheating. In fact, people go as far as to say that their conduct is the way the beautiful game is supposed to be played.

Exibit A:

Belgium, Julien Lecomte clashed with a defender as both men went up for a header. The ensuing contact knocked out Lecomte who lay on the ground and was soon surrounded by medical staff.

Despite receiving treatment from staff and being taken off the field, the ref showed Lecomte a second yellow card believing that the Lecomte dove and was faking an injury in an attempt to win his team a penalty.

Did he dive? No one can say for sure....BUT

If he did dive, it was truly masterful performance that even the con-men that play for Barcelona would be proud of. Lecomte was taken to hospital where docs confirmed he had suffered concussion and three displaced vertebrae in his back. (something one can generally fake in soccer by holding your knee or face).
