Four players of a Brazilian soccer club have had their contracts rescinded after a video showing one of them giving two of his teammates a handjob in the club showers leaked.
The three players involved were kicked out of the team and so was a fourth player who filmed the act.
In the scandalous video, two of the former Sport Clube Gaucho players
can be seen standing stark naked in the shower while a third partially
clothed player wore a huge grin on his face as he used both hands to
jerk off his teammates.
Soon after the video hit the internet last
Friday, the club confirmed that all four players had been released. Club
president Gilmar Rosso said the players were free to do whatever they
wanted with themselves, but that their having done so in the club locker
room made it a club matter.
President Rosso said: “When I hit play, I deleted it, I think it’s
disgusting. Outside business hours, we have nothing to do with the
situation. If they want to get drunk, (be) gay or not, that’s their
problem. What I have to answer as president is during a trip, office
hours. That’s my responsibility. The club is not a keeper of morals and
good manners. The only thing we have to answer to is the making of the
video inside the club dressing room.”
Rosso told UOL Esporte that part of the reason why he let the players
go was because he wanted to protect them from the jeers of opposing
fans.
