Maybe one of the players said a bad word
Fans of the Brazilian soccer club Corinthians ran onto the field during practice or warmups and threw powdered soap on the players in what is, if my research is correct, the single weirdest fan protest I have heard about since the Pakistani cricket coach was strangled to death in his hotel room after a loss a couple weeks ago. So not that weird, but I do not understand the metaphor of "cleaning up" the team, since the players are not dirty (see K-Rod, below), just coated with the stench of losing (see "Pittsburgh Pirates, 1993-2006").
Also, interim coach Ze "My name is Ze Augusto, your name sucks in comparison" Augusto had this to say:
"I don't know how the players will react after the protest ... but I think they're used to it, they know about the responsibility of playing for Corinthians."
The players refused to comment.
Yeah, they probably are used to it. The equipment manager usually just dowses them with Tide before they hit the showers anyway; cuts down on the laundry expenses.
