ITV digital going t*ts-up.

The assett-stripping of lower-league football clubs by dodgy 'businessmen'.

[Nerik]

One not many in the UK heard of:

 

Venezia score against Bari to take a 2-1 lead in the dying minutes and then win. Both teams are fighting against relegation, so the scorer (a Brazilian called Tuta) should be made a hero, right? No. Both sets of players have a go at him in the tunnel after the game, some of his team mates even when the game is still being played! Created a whole scandal but a judge found nothing wrong following an investigation.
