At the end of the day i love football more than life itself (memories of the physio sport ad with Paolo Di Canio spring to mind). But i also understand that not every body is of the same opinion as me.
If england were to win a major trophy i could understand football being the major headline, or if somebody such as Alex Ferguson or Geoff Hurst, some one who has brought a lot to the game died (god forbid!), but for a manager, or a player, (who at the end of the day everybody hated only 5 years ago) grab the front pages regarding their personal lives, it is 'dumbing down' the atrocities going on elsewhere on this planet!
There are an awful lot of people whose family members are serving to protect every one of our futures against the likes of bin Laden and his crones, not to mention our brave soldiers in Iraq, Northern Ireland and other places around the world. These are the people who deserve the headlines, not sports stars, pop singers or inflatable models!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
