Football club wants sausages back

A Romanian football team is demanding a refund after it bought a player for a transfer fee of 15 kilos of pork sausages.

Defender Marius Cioara retired a day later saying he could not face any more sausage related taunts.

Cioara, who played for second division team UT Arad, was sold to fourth division Regal Hornia for the sausage meat.

After the deal a spokesman for Regal Hornia confirmed: "We gave up the team's sausage allowance for a week to secure him, but we are confident it will be worth it."

But a day after the deal was leaked to the media, Cioara announced he was giving up football and had decided to leave the country.

He said: "The sausage taunts all got too much, they were joking I would have got more from the Germans and making sausage jokes. It was a huge insult. I have decided to go to Spain where I have got a job on a farm."

Would rather work on a farm then play a game for a living because of some light hearted jokes? What the hell?

Hmmm . . . *shakes head*

Maybe it is a cultural thing.
