Whether or not they like it, footballer's are role models, it's as simple as that. It doesn't mean they have to live like monks but they have a great of responsibility yeno. they're only human and make mistakes but not getting caught up in scandals like Dyer has in his career is hardly too much to ask.
A footballer having a sex video is tacky and ill advised and the girls they smashed were hardly the love of their lives, few sluts looking to get famous by featuring in a sex tape with footballers....no surprise really.
Here's Lampards take on it:
"But, as footballers, we had certain responsibilities that go with the job.
Mum went bananas and Dad said, ?I know kids do things like that all over the world but you’re not one of them. You’re a footballer and you have to be responsible"
Enough said.
The words of Frank Lampard, dear god.
It's just nonsense. No one expects film or pop stars to be role models with their behaviour and young people are every bit as likely to be influenced by them. Why pick footballers?
Largely it's just peoples intellectual and moral cowardice in my opinion. Pick on an easy scapegoat to avoid having to think about larger and more complicated issues in which their own actions or those of people they like might be called into question.
It is good when footballers do set a good example but it certainly isn't a reasonable expectation of people that they do it."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

So if you aren't willing to class it as morally wrong then why is it 'something a footballer shouldn't be at'?Originally posted by Rudo View PostMorally wrong?
i just think it's something a footballer shouldn't be at, nothing more nothing less."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

So it's largely an aesthetic thing for you?Originally posted by Rudo View PostBecause i ain't taking it all that seriously thats why...not going to call it morally wrong or get on my high horse about it.
As i said before, i feel it's something a footballer shouldn't be getting caught up in.
That's my opinion, deal with it.
Seems a bit restrictive if footballers have to not only act morally but also in good taste (for a start Steven Ireland would be ****ed)."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Since you can offer no reasoning, I can only assume you're regurgitating what you've been told by others and have never considered why it should be considered wrong.
I'll do my very best to deal with it, Rudenberg, even if it troubles me so

I also heard of him flicking notes at staff in a hotel where he and his mates were causing trouble. Obnoxious ****.Originally posted by Rudo View PostBecause he's complete scum:
- making sex videos on holiday, great example to kids there
- fighting in Nightclubs
- pissing outside Nightclubs
- refusing to play right mid for Sir Bobby(R.I.P)
- fighting with one of his team-mates during a match
- refusing to be on the bench when Avram Grant told him he wasn't starting.
There's probably about half a dozen other misdemeanors.
