It’s no secret that the sideline reporters hired tend to be more on the attractive side but can you imagine if Erin Andrews or Samantha Ponder was asked to leave because they were TOO attractive? It sounds pretty crazy and would definitely raise some controversy but that’s apparently what happened during a recent soccer match in Serbia.

Soccer reporter Katarina Sreckovic was covering a game involving Red Star Belgrade when she was requested to leave the sidelines because she was too sexy and becoming a distraction.
“It was tough because for a while it seemed as if they might not be able to work with me at all”, Sreckovic said according to The Independent. “I was also asked to go away a couple of times because I was a distraction on the pitch, and players complained that they couldn’t concentrate.”
I’m not sure what is more absurd here – the fact that players were struggling to concentrate because of the reporter, that Katarina Srekovic was actually asked to leave the field or that she was actually informed the request to leave was because of her looks.
