Mayor of Winnipeg, Canada, Sam Katz, took part in a charity match that put a team of adult city workers against a team of children on Monday. Everything was going just fine until Mr. Mayor decided to awkwardly throw a high kick and ended up De Jonging a kid square in the face (news clip of the incident over at Deadspin). That's never good for the old political career and it seems his opponents have already jumped on the situation with this hilarious attack ad.

Nice.

1. For shame--that was clearly incidental contact.

2. Red Card

It was a high kick with an opponent in the area. He didn't mean to kick the kid in the face but the adults should play a man down for it.

The ad should also be red carded although I think it was meant to be kind of a tongue in cheek reference.
