A well measured post and something I agree with mostly too.
People just like to find reasons to hate others. As a society we have put all of these people (footballers in this case) up on a pedestal just to knock them and rub our hands with glee while doing it. The press don't help.
All of that aside one bit I did find funny was when he was trying to compare his story to an 'everyman' when saying "imagine if you have an office job that you go into every day that you don't like". Does he think people love their 9-5 call center jobs 😂?
