"Sam Katz...he kicks children in the face. Nice." Well, kinda--he only kicks them in the face while playing soccer. And it is the slogan of champions, Must-see video ad. Winnepeg (Canada) mayor Sam Katz kicked around a bit--in a charity soccer match between adult city workers and a team of kids at the event. He's up for re-election so he probably thought the soccer game would be a great PR move. It might have been, had Katz not kicked the young kid in the face. The Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz's foot-to-face blunder has become a video sensation that it caught the attention of Matt Lauer, host of NBC's Today Show. T.
