Yellow Card

I didn't realize that the fine is so steep for yellow cards in the FIFA World Cup. A yellow card, which have been handed out like candy for tugging on jerseys, costs the equivalent of $4,100 per incidence. Although I understand that the country team doesn't make the individual player pay the fine, it's still a lot of money. Imagine if we implemented that system for personal fouls in football or basketball. That would change the game. In fact, I'm wondering if we can implement the same system for George Bush's government. Give Karl Rove a yellow card. Next time, red card, and he sits out the next four years.
