Has Football lost it's morals

Recent events with Football hero's like Ashley Cole and John Terry have made me wonder has Football lost it's morals or indeed did it ever have any. An argument would be that players like El Hadji Diouf and Joey Barton never asked to be role models which is factually correct but from a moral standpoint people in their position are and always will be idolized as long as kids watch football, so do they have a duty to set an example? Why though do we expect the players to have standards when all around them they see reports of some Managers and agents being less than honest or Club Directors mis-managing clubs to the edge of extinction. In addition to this we hear of a small minority of Chelsea fans booing Wayne Bridge and a similar minority at the Rangers/Celtic match shouting over a minute silence.

I suggest we need to look beyond these people at the real heroes in Football. Players like Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Shay Given and Ryan Giggs, supporters like the Chelsea ones who clapped Wayne Bridge as he left the field, club owners who pump millions of there own money into football clubs for little or no return and supporters who travel the length and breadth of the country never giving up hope of success. There are morals in British Football we just have to look a bit harder to see them.

Foramodernman would like to wish a speedy recovery to Aaron Ramsey. Some good reading material on the subject discussed on this blog is Tom Bower's "Broken Dreams"
