the true crime that's worth your time

The arrest of soccer star Aminata Diallo is drawing comparisons to Tonya Harding. Per the Post,

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Aminata Diallo was arrested for her connection to an attack on teammate Kheira Hamraoui, L’Equipe reported Wednesday morning.

After a team outing in Paris on Nov. 4, which both Diallo and Hamraoui attended, two masked men pulled Hamraoui out of her car and attacked her legs with an iron bar.

According to the paper, the motive was for Diallo to get more playing time. Hamraoui was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries to her hands and legs and would miss PSG’s 4-0 win over Real Madrid on Tuesday.

I do not know thing one about women’s footie, but I do remember how immediately and enduringly the attack on Nancy Kerrigan captivated the world, and how irresistible the incident still is to narrative producers, whether it’s 30 For 30 or I, Tonya.
