You don’t mess with Diego

Being a famous football personality has more disadvantages than advantages. You might enjoy a lot of power, but the privacy that one usually gets is lost—people will gaze with prying eyes no matter how much you want to shut them out.

And when you are an outspoken personality like Diego Maradona, there is always a media circus all around you.

However, in 1994, when photographers and reporters were buzzing outside his home, he went nuts and shot at them with his air rifle. Thankfully, nobody died, but 4 of them were injured.

He was sentenced to prison for 2 years and 10 months for his actions—another one that proves his nonsensical nature.
