Argentine legend slaps journalist outside theatre
The man infamously known for his "Hand of God" goal has been caught using his hands again in an unsportsmanlike manner.
Diego Maradona slapped a reporter's face after attending an event with his family this weekend, allegedly for winking at his ex-wife.
The Argentine soccer great also called the journalist an "idiot" during the confrontation outside a theatre in Buenos Aires.
Video images showed Maradona leaving his car and slapping the journalist him with his right hand (scrub ahead to the 1:15 mark). The journalist did not immediately react.
Fans and reporters had surrounded Maradona's car to talk to one of the greatest players in soccer history. He answered a few questions and was about to leave when he became upset.
Maradona's son and his ex-wife were inside the car.
