I understand the want for Jeremy to get a red card in TBC but please consider, instead, the funniest possible way he could get red carded for the first time is at the olympics:
Imagine if you will, husbands Jeremy and Jean at their first olympics together, where Jean has decided to play for the French olympic team (in order to go to the olympics without having to train again at Evermore).
The press all up in a storm about how The Moreaus have never played against one another before! How even in their college days on separate teams, they never met on the court! How will they do it? Will either hold back? Will they even be played at the same time?! The buzz gets louder as the games progress and the final match for the silver & gold medals is slated to be between France & the USA
Of course, Jeremy and Jean would be thrilled at the opportunity to play one another. It isn't like they haven't done so in practices before, and to compete with one another in the olympics? What a thrill! They stay within the rules, but there is NO holding back. They are each other's mark, the only ones capable of matching each other step for step, and the game is even more crazy intense when either of them gets the ball.
And then, with precious little time left, Jean snatches the ball right from Jeremy's raquet and slings it to France's striker, who scores, bringing the game to a tie.
Jeremy is stunned, impressed, elated, devastated, offended, just taken aback by all of the feelings at once at such a masterfully done play and he is left gaping at Jean, who tells him with the most self-satisfied grin to "have a winning day, mon cœur!"
So Jeremy does the one and only thing that feels reasonable in response to such cheeky bait, something they've playfully done a dozen times in practices and around the gym after getting together–
He smacks his husband HARD on the ass, in the middle of the olympic court, and that shit rings out like a gunshot.
A ref immediately red cards Jeremy for violent conduct– slapping another player when not challenging for the ball– which has Jean barking out a laugh before the two of them realize what this actually means.
It gives France a penalty shot. A chance to break the tie at the tail end of the game.
Now, Andrew is probably in the goal for the USA team, and considering that this is the most entertaining thing that's happened through all of the olympics, he locks down the goal and just barely blocks the shot. Jeremy owes Andrew his life for that one, honestly.
The game quickly goes to a tiebreaker that has the USA just scraping by as the victors, but everyone is VERY AWARE that if France had made that penalty shot, there wouldn't have been a tie to break, and France would have won.
No one will ever let Jeremy Moreau forget the 1 and only red card in his exy career, which nearly cost the USA a gold medal, and it was for smacking Jean's ass on the olympic court.
• Kevin is STEAMING mad about this for years to come. Jeremy goes several days genuinely believing that their friendship is over because of this (It's not, but the "scathing diva" needs time to cool down about almost losing olympic gold over such a thing)
• Neil has a t-shirt custom made with a still-frame of the spank and the text THE CLAP HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD and wears it for seemingly every single public appearance he makes for the next few months.
• At the next olympics, Andrew offers to lock down the goal if Jeremy can one-up last time's scandal and make things interesting. Jeremy cannot tell if this is a joke, and plays on his best behavior, and ignores the pointed eye contact Andrew makes with him when a ball slips past surely on accident?! and lights up the goal.
• The clip of Jeremy smacking Jean's ass and immediately getting red carded will haunt Jeremy on jumbotron replays for the rest of his career. Fans will have him sign pictures of it. The incident is brought up every single olympic season, without fail, even after he retires.
