This week’s Swasted Files starts out with a trip overseas to a European country with a population of just over 2-million, Slovenia. Believe it or not, its not the first time the country has been mentioned on the pages of Swasted.com. Slovenia was previously mentioned when they were drawn into Group C with the United States, England and Algeria for the 2010 World Cup. However, this time the Central European country is in the news for ice hockey rather than football. Acroni Jesenice, coached by American Mike Posma, won their 3rd consecutive national league title last Saturday and the partyin started. As things winded down, a drunken 19-year old back-up goaltender was convinced by the coach that he was OK to drive. Well apparently he wasn’t and proceeded to crash his car and was taken into custody. This didn’t sit well with six of his hammered teammates and they went ahead and served the coach a beating with wooden traffic sticks they found on the side of the road. The 42-year-old New Jersey native was cut and bruised but not seriously injured and the six players involved have had their contracts terminated by the team. – ESPN.com
Our next stop on the Swasted Files takes us to Copenhagen, Denmark where brewery workers are up in arms. Carlsberg Brewery in enacting a new company policy that is not sitting well with its staff and caused many of them to walk-off their jobs in protest. Apparently, the Danish brewer is tightening up their previously lax drinking on the job rules. Beer coolers that were previously available to warehouse and production workers all day have been removed and staff is now only allowed to drink beer during their lunch breaks. Although the rules for the company’s truck drivers were not changed, that didn’t stop the drivers from joining the protest in support of their brothers. Rules for the drivers remain the same, they’re allowed to take 3 beers home since “they often don’t have time to have lunch there.” – Bottoms Up
