“There’s no loyalty in football anymore”

I recall Mark McGhee saying something like loyalty was only for fans.

Remember that 'McGhee SCAB' graffiti that was up for ages, wonder if it's still there.. 🤔

Different sport, but I'm sat here watching the baseball: New York  Yankees at San Francisco Giants. 

 

One of the Yankees star players is Aaron Judge. He grew up a massive Giants fan, and a couple of years ago was a free agent and it came down to the wire as to whether he was going to re-sign with the Yankees or come to his hometown club, but he went with the Yankees. (after earlier media reports the other way) 

 

This series is his first visit as a player, so a big deal and a lot of talk about that decision. He has come out and talked about his love of the Giants. 

 

He is a fan, but as a baseball player has chosen the best career path for himself.

 

It myst be a really tough decision, but as much as we don't want to hear it, loyalty really is a fan thing. It is not a sensible emotion for a career decision. 99.9% of us would do what Enzo did, and I'm not sure it has ever been different.
