Typically, at least in the broadcasting world, attractive people tend to get hired on a more regular basis. Whether it’s on purpose or just subconsciously, the folks calling the shots tend to go with the candidate that’s going to reel in the most eyes and keep them there.

However, in the case, of Serbian soccer reporter Katarina Sreckovic, it appears her attractiveness almost became too much for players to bear.

A reporter for the Serbian soccer club Red Star Belgrade, the 25-year-old Sreckovic was nearly fired for being too attractive.

When Sreckovic attempted to ask players intelligent questions during interviews, they were apparently unable to concentrate on answering due to her attractiveness. So while you'd expect her good looks to add to the broadcast, it was somehow hindering it.

"I admit it was a problem at the start, but I think they've got used to me now. It was tough, though, because for a while it seemed as if they might not be able to work with me at all," Sreckovic said.

"I was also asked to go away a couple of times because I was a distraction on the pitch and players complained that they couldn't concentrate," Sreckovic added.

Unwilling to give up on what she considered a "dream job," she urged her employers to stay patient, saying that the players would simply get used to it.

Seeing as she still has her job with Red Star, it appears the players did, in fact, get used to Sreckovic's attractiveness.

At one point, Sreckovic dated one of the club's junior players, but has since found herself a boyfriend who isn't affiliated with the team -- apart from being a fan.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Red Star is currently $70 million in debt and hasn't fielded a competitive team in some time. The good news? At least when the players are down after yet another loss, they can look to the sideline and see Sreckovic ready and waiting to add some silver lining to their misery.
