OT - A Quicker Red Card?

Off-Topic, but Since You Asked . . .
I played soccer back in the 70's with the first team for our local German sport club. Annually we'd travel to Chicago for a tournament. All ethnic clubs, the Liths, the Serbs, the Croats, etc. All great, official teams from neighborhood clubs on the south side of Chicago. We'd beat each others brains in on the field, then all gather for lots of beer in the evening at one or the other's ethnic clubhouse (bar) for some good social mixing, fun, and frivolity.
We had this one guy on our team, Otto, who was, as he claimed, an avowed Nazi. Really. He read "Mein Kampf" on the way to away games. Really.
Anyhow, at one Chicago tourney during warmups I heard him mention that this one guy on the other team looked "way too Jewish for me." I didn't think anything of it, just the ravings of a guys who didn't seem quite right most of the time anyway.
At the opening whistle, he sprints about three yards across the line and just nails that guy with a fist in the face. Had to be less than three seconds, and he was out of the game.
Goofy. But he was a pretty good midfielder for an older guy. I think he got kicked off the team and kicked out of the club entirely, if I remember right. Deservedly so.
