Jesus wept - this is no 'challenge'.
"Ohhh, Parks is goin' dirty. He comes up from behind and takes him down with the spikes."
That was the extremely understated reaction of American commentators when Karl Ouimette of New York Red Bulls' second string was literally assaulted by Pittsburgh Riverhounds' striker Romeo Parkes - after Ouimette himself had been shown a red card.
Ouimette, a 23-year-old Canadian defender, had been given his marching orders by the referee, and continued to talk to Parks.
The Jamaican absolutely lost the arse and unleashed a vicious kick to Ouimette's spine before being escorted off the field, and many fans are questioning whether he is going to face criminal charges for his attack on Ouimette.
@NYRBII #PGHvNY @USL Unsportsmanlike! Parks should be suspended as long as Ouimette is injured. pic.twitter.com/XbHNUTEsBl

Yeah... He probably will.
Ouimette spent a couple of minutes on the floor before leaving the field on a stretcher.
