Footballer's off the field activities Part 2

I know it has been a while, but I just couldn't resist. In my last post way back in October I discussed the off the field life of footballers. Since then we have had the Tiger Wood's scandal in golf and now John Terry and Ashely Cole. Two players whom I happen to really enjoy watching play this game that I love. The question I have been asking myself is, do their infidelities really matter to me? I had to think long and hard about this one and the answer is not really.

Grant it that I am really disappointed in their actions, they broke no law! Think about it, your taking a flight and your pilot is having an affair, you don't really care once he can take you where you need to be safely. Well as far as I am concerned I feel about athletes the same way.

I am not one to be slapping "role model" labels on anyone who I do not know personally and I think parents should raise their kids to think in that same fashion. So once these guys lace up their boots and go on to the field and play the game, I can ignore their indiscretions. It's up to them to handle their personal business.

Coming soon: League Cup final, Champions League and European Leagues are coming to a climax, World Cup preview and predictions. Until then, football is more than just a sport, it's a way of life!

Cheers,

Deon
