Diego Maradona — Maradona isn’t afraid of picking a fight as well

If shooting journalists wasn’t enough to testify his craziness, then this certainly does the trick—especially the reason for doing this.

Imagine what he would have done had the journalist held her arms or something. Never go anywhere near the girls Maradona likes, is what we learn from this.
