So you've worked with a bunch of entitled arrogant pricks, they are all arrogant entitled pricks ?This notion of " solidarity " always baffles me.
I've been aquainted with many total ****s of various different types over the years. I'm no longer aquainted with any of them due to their ****iness. It was never a difficult decision to sever those ties.
So why the **** would you show support for someone like this simply because you share a common profession ? In the relentlessly image managed world of modern sport you'd think at least one person would say " ****ing hell lads, that's not a good look, don't go near it "
I think a large part of it might be that the vast majority of today's players came through academy systems from the age of about 10. Those that make it have spent their entire lives both child & adult being told that they're special & exceptional. I think it's far too easy for some of these people to translate that into " the rules don't apply to me because I'm special " The entire game needs an attitude adjustment from the ground up. Teaching people to be human beings should form part of the structure, especially for young lads coming through elite academies.
I've actually worked with some former academy players. The ones who DIDN'T make it & were released into the real world in their teens after failing to secure pro contracts. A bigger bunch of entitled, unpleasant,lazy, arrogant ****s you couldn't wish to meet. & that's the failures ! I can only imagine what the successful ones must be like.
Against that background it isn't hard to imagine a mindset of :
" I can't have heard that right. No ??? ! Nah, people aren't allowed to say no to me. Must be a mistake. I'll just crack on "
A very large dose of reality needs to be administered to these arseholes. Sadly they'll always have better lawyers than their accusers so unless they actually commit the offence in front of an audience or on camera they'll almost always walk.
whether you like it or not, the judicial system in this country found the bloke not guilty on all accounts.
where are the clamours for the names of the women accusing him of rape to be named?
none!
what sort of fair system is that?
