Again, returning to the original topic , there was a story on ESPN.com a few months ago about a referee in a professional soccer match in England. He was working a game in which the score was something like 11-0. Near the end of the game, he intentionally kicked a live ball into the net, scoring a goal for the losing team. His rationale was that he didn't want the losing team to be totally demoralized by being shut out by such a large margin. The league suspended him, but I don't remember if they fired him or not.
