The Dark Side of Football

Football in England has long been held up as an example to the world. Maybe not for its quality but its sheer money  making potential. It has been shown to be a modern game shaking of the old style management of the 70's and 80's to become a modern sport which corresponds with the stadiums that it is generally played in.

Football is actually not the different animal that it was in the 70's and 80's. This has been shown by the conviction by the FA of Liverpool player Suarez and the impending  trial of the England Captain John Terry. The major concern for me has been the attitude to some within football usually ex pro's. They have been apologising dramatically for the behaviour of these  players.

The apologists are in denial about the state of their game a quarter of players are black yet there are only two black coaches. Only one Asian  footballer in all 92 professional clubs and not one gay footballer. These are not statistics any modern organisation would like never mind the national game.
