It's bad enough that Sporting KC captain Omar Bravo got a red card against the Seattle Sounders for a two-footed slide tackle of an opponent. However, instead of leaving the field right away, Bravo continued to antagonize his opponent and tried to draw a penalty by pretending he was the victim of a headbutt.
It happened Saturday night in an MLS match with the Seattle Sounders visiting Kansas City. In the 58th minute, Sporting's Omar Bravo was given a red card for a two-footed sliding tackle on Seattle's Pat Noonan.
Instead of leaving the field, Bravo heads back at Noonan and has some more to say before Noonan has even gotten up from the ground. As soon as Noonan pops up and gets in Bravo's face, Bravo falls backward and covers his face, trying to draw a penalty on Noonan by pretending that he himself is the victim of a headbutt.
