0 in football, a small, red card that is shown by the referee (= the official who is responsible for making certain that the rules are followed) to a player who has not obeyed a rule and who is therefore not allowed to continue playing --

It would have to think twice before showing a polluter the red card, in case he challenged the decision in court.
Is not it about time that he was shown the red card and sent home?

It has been involved in campaigns such as "kick racism out of football"and"give racism the red card".
The kidney donor card is a red card like this.
