Butt Stabbings

There are a few reasons that I've never gotten into soccer. It's a sport that is primarily running, I'm not much of a runner. It requires precise foot control, I have big feet and I fall over them. All of those pale in comparison to the reason after the jump.

What is marked about the attacks is that victims are often stabbed in the buttocks. The practice even has its own slang name in the local Roman dialect - "puncicate". But why is the backside targeted?

It has it's own name.
