Soccer player tosses grenade off field right before it explodes

If you thought soccer hooligans were scary you might not want to watch this video.

During a local club match in Iran, an object is picked up by a soccer player tidying the pitch and, right after he casually tosses it to the sidelines, it explodes.

That object happened to be a live grenade that was tossed by a fan in the stands.

The player apparently didn't know what he was picking up but, if he did, Iranian soccer players are a lot cooler-headed than I thought.



Police called off the match and are investigating.  It looks like no one was hurt.

And NFL players are worried about bounties.
