German soccer player puts spider down back of teammate's jersey

A German soccer player put a spider down the back of a teammate's jersey. 

There are jokes. There are pranks. And then there are criminal acts.

We believe what occurred during a recent match in the Bundesliga falls in the latter. 

FC Schalke 04 was routing MSV Duisburg on Saturday to the tune of 5-0. In these situations, sometimes the winning team lets loose a little bit, and normally, we're all for that. 

But Franco Di Santo may have taken things too far in this situation, when he found a spider on the field, and gently placed it down in the back of teammate Leroy Sane's jersey. Seriously:

After a heinous act like this, we can only hope the offending party is brought to justice. Spiders are no joke, guys.
