Fans across America get out of control sometimes, but the pro players rarely face anything this bad.
Venezuelan soccer player Aquiles Ocanto got cheap-shotted by a fan who kicked him in the back during a live post-match interview this week.
No word on whether the fan was caught, but Ocanto's team, Carabobo FC, did confirm that he was OK, adding "We reject such acts of violence in football." (Not to mention live interviews.)
When it comes to soccer, it just gets crazier.
