Robert Griffin III, the former NFL quarterback who’s now a Fox Sports **** yst, joined other sports celebrities in slamming the red card that U.S. World Cup star Folarin Balogun received on Wednesday.
But Griffin did it memorably and hilariously.
Balogun, the U.S. team’s leading scorer in the World Cup, had already put the Americans ahead 1-0 in their eventual 2-0 round of 32 win over Bosnia Herzegovina. In the second half he stepped on the ankle of Bosnian player Tarik Muharemovic’s ankle as the two approached the ball. Balogun got a red card, ejecting him from the match and barring him from the Americans’ round of 16 clash against Belgium on Monday.
Griffin, the former Heisman Trophy winner, gave an award-winning **** sment.
“USA has its best chance to win a World Cup and a bogus Red Card is given to our best player to keep him out of the next game in the Round of 16?” he wrote. “THEY DON’T WANT TO SEE US WIN AND HAVE TO CALL IT SOCCER.”
