Calm down before someone gets hurt!
As all keen football fans would have heard by now Rooney has lost his temper and kicked out at an opposing player once more. Now, I am sure that I cannot be the only one that thinks that this type of behaviour is completely unacceptable! It won’t be long before he will be paying personal injury Trusts compensation to an opposing player that he has put in hospital and seriously injured.
This type of lashing out should not be tolerated in the professional game. Role models at the height of the sport should not be allowed to get away with just a red card for such incidents of foul play. You may think that I am going a bit far, and say that it is a contact sport and injuries happen, but these kind are not accidents! A man being paid so much money to do his job should be able to keep his temper in check and get on with it. It would not happen in any other walk of life!
The game has got to be cleaned up before we see more serious injuries from indisciplined tackles.
Everyone knows that there have been high profile cases of broken legs etc from bad challenges and this will always happen in a contact sport, however it is possible to clamp down on the occurrence of mindless kicking out and elbowing etc. If Rooney or Barton and others had to pay a month’s wages into a charity to help the victims of sporting injuries every time they received a red card for violent conduct, maybe we would see the number of cases half!
It does not look good for England and it does not look good for Manchester United. Rooney has always been known for playing on the edge, but if he crosses the line too many times he risks denting his legacy. This would be a real shame.
