FAN SELLS TOM HUDDLESTONE'S HAIR FOR £6,300

Football and promises/bets. Well, I love all the drama. Hull City player, Tom Huddlestone's "32-month old" hair was finally shaved off after he scored against Fulham last week. He actually promised not to get rid of it until he tosses the net. He must have heaved a sigh of relief after he sealed the goal.

A fan who was lucky to get a clump of the midfielder's hair while his physiotherapist cut it off auctioned it on e-bay. And guess what? There were 114 bidders. The highest bidder paid £6,300. (As against the £5,000 target set for it).

I wonder how much fans would pay if Messi, C Ronaldo and Rooney made that kind of promise.

REACTIONS TRAIL BASKETMOUTH'S RAPE JOKE

Reactions have continued to trail a controversial post (which centres on rape) on ace comedian, Basketmouth's facebook page. Here's an email by Greg Ighodaro on the matter+ other reactions and his reply.

"I am highly disappointed in Nigerian foremost comedian Basket mouth aka

"Bright Okpocha with the very "foolish joke" he cracked on his Facebook

wall, making RAPE the highpoint of his Joke. The joke started with a comparison of African girls and while girls on a date where he diminished the African Woman to nothing if taken on a date. Would your joke be funny if your mother your sister, your aunt, your daughter had been raped? If you daughter or your sister had come home with blood running down her legs because some brute had seen her, not as a human being with feelings and a physical body that hurts and bleeds, but as a vessel for his lust, his rage, his disrespect and his misogyny?

Its sad to see over five thousand young people "Like" that post, you are meant to be an advocate of good behaviour, an ambassador to young people, a voice for several women (some have gone through one form of sexual abuse or the other) out there who buy tickets to your shows and support your work not the other way round. We deserve more respect than what he made out of us"
