Humanity's obsession with mobile phones has truly gone too far. Not only do they distract us from driving and the people around us, but now they're even interrupting football matches. During a German amateur match between SV Sem Jemgum and Fortuna Veenhusen, a player named Matthias Hilbrands of Jemgum noticed that one of his buddies was trying to get his attention from the touchline to answer a phone call.
It must have been a very important call, because instead of telling the guy to wait until after the match, Hilbrands ran over to the side during play to answer it. The match continued as he chatted and when the opposing goalkeeper threw the ball to a player making a break for a counter attack, Hilbrands hilariously decided that his call was not so important that he couldn't interrupt it to take out the opposing player with a sweeping slide tackle...while still holding the phone. Hilbrands handed the phone back to his phone caddy after that and jogged back onto the pitch. The referee showed him a yellow card, though,� for the merciless (but clean?) tackle that his phone call made him ineligible to make.
It's like something out of a comedy sketch. But it's real so it's actually kind of depressing that it's come to this.
