A Bad Example

Not content with the obscene amounts of money they are being paid for doing something they love, some footballers never cease to amaze us by their disgusting behaviour. I am referring in particular to Ashley Cole, in the papers again this week for complaining about photographers taking his picture. Apart from swearing at them as usual, he began swearing at the policemen who were trying to calm him down.

In 2006 he had the audacity to complain about his club's proposed contract of £55,000 a week. Unbelievably, he decided they were "taking the p.......". Words fail me at such greed. How does his lovely wife Cheryl put up with him?

This sort of behaviour has gone on for decades as can be seen if you follow the link:

In the meantime, football followers are still paying extortionate entrance fees to watch their teams play. No wonder footballers become spoilt little brats.
