After the NBA became predictable (hope you’re ready for Warriors vs. Cavaliers Round 4) and the NFL’s product lost a step (not to mention the concussion and anthem controversies), I found myself in need of a new sport to regularly watch.
While I had always played soccer growing up, I never cared much to watch it outside of the World Cup. But as I got older, I found myself watching more and more of the game the world calls football, and I found why people of all shape, sizes, and colors go crazy for it: outside of the excellent on-field product and concise game times (soccer games, barring overtime, run for just two hours with commercials), the game is filled with never-ending drama and storylines.
Transfer rumors, coach hirings and firings, players f*cking teammates wive’s, promotion & relegation, corruption scandals, oil sheik money — the list of regularly occurring soccer storylines goes on and on — so this new story about RB Leipzig building a smoking room for an opposing team’s coach is merely the latest.
via Bleacher Report:
RB Leipzig will reportedly create a smoking room at their home stadium ahead of their showdown with Napoli on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League to cater for the habit of visiting manager Maurizio Sarri.
According to Bild, building work is being done at the Red Bull Arena to give Sarri an area in which he can smoke. Napoli have reportedly asked for the smoke detectors to be turned off when the Serie A side head to Leipzig.
The FUSSBALL Bild Twitter account provided some images of the area being put together, which is said to be 3.5 metres high and 3 metres wide.

This dude can’t even go from the locker room to the field without having a quick hoon. What a savage. Europe is just a different place, man.
