dave submitted an MSNBC link describing how a soccer team traded a player for 33 pounds of meat. THe player then decided to leave soccer for a career in agriculture or construction. The best part? This quote:

"We are upset because we lost twice — firstly because we lost a good player and secondly because we lost our team’s food for a whole week," a Regal Horia official was quoted as saying by the daily in its electronic edition.

They should learn how to draw up contracts, so they can get their dinners back when the player chooses to leave. I wonder if that really was the team's food, or if he was just speaking metaphorically.
