Regular readers will know that I’m not really a huge football fan, in fact I am the complete opposite and will take any opportunity to criticise the so called beautiful game. However, this time I have been given the opportunity on a platter!
Sepp Blatter referring to Ronaldo’s Manchester United contract as ‘modern slavery’ no less!
What...? Have I missed something here?? According to the Oxford dictionary slavery is defined as “a helpless victim of some dominating influence”, not “overpaid pretty boy has tantrum after changing his mind so soon after signing a contract by his own choice...”
I’ve heard Alex Ferguson being called a slave driver in the past, but this is ridiculous. Slavery was cruel, hard and often involved working to the death – I hardly think being paid £120,000 per week to kick a ball around constitutes this.
When will these ball-kicking plonkers think before they speak!
