I don't know why so many people are defending this idiot.
Sure the kick wasn't "brutal." And i'm also sure it wasn't his intent to kill the bird. However the bird was clearly still alive and looking around and who in their right mind just walks up and kicks a living thing? What it would take to compel someone to think that "it's ok if I just go up and kick this thing" is unthinkable for me but can be nothing less than either stupidity or some sociopahtic attribute.
Also, that bird was like 5yards from the side-line... that isn't a fucking soccer ball. It's not like the bird was a few feet from the sideline. How hard does a reasonable person think you have to kick a living thing to get it to move that long of a distance? Hard enough to kill it, as was shown here. The dude is a fucking idiot (and his apology just corroborates this).
I don't think anyone is defending his actions. I think what people are commenting on is the "brutal kick" slant of the story, which suggests a level of malice that the video doesn't show. Nobody here is saying it is a good thing.
