Westlake senior kicked out of soccer league for being the man

From FoxSports.com:

“It took nearly two full months of shenanigans but Ohio’s North Side Co-Ed Soccer League has finally ousted anti-establishment villain Brian Garruto.

Garruto, a senior and member of the boys’ varsity soccer team at Westlake (Ohio) High School, posted the banishment notice he received from the recreational league’s management to his Twitter account.”

As a bonus, here’s a photo of Brian in action for the Westlake varsity team.

KRISTIN BAUER | CHRONICLE Westlake High School senior defender Brian Garruto (10) headers the ball during a game against Strongsville on Wednesday night, Oct. 28.

Garruto’s rec league team, the Cleveland Steamers, and other fun-loving members of the league will probably miss him — unless the new father of a two-week-old soccer ball is actually just a jerk and not an entertainer.”


Captain’s armband in the action shot, freakin obviously.

You could have shown me the bullet points in that email and told me they were a list of reasons why this kid was inducted into the Recreational Soccer League Hall of Fame and I would have one thousand percent believed you. That makes a butt ton more sense than him getting booted out of the league for them.

Diego can take his phone and go fly a kite. Brian is a gentleman, a trail blazer and probably a scholar and deserves to have his name chanted by fans from Maine to California. Have fun being shitty and stupid, North Side Co Ed Soccer League.

I would love to sit down and have a beer with this legend when he’s of legal drinking age. In Natty Light bro tanks.
