Reading most of Parkers articles in the last few months, none more that the last one entitled WENGER SHOULD APOLOGISE TO SHAWCROSS as forced me to reach the conclusion his write-ups are baised and really distorted. What parent inspite of their child’s hyper activity will say it’s just kids playing if their kids keep coming home with bruises after playing with the neighours kid.
What is Parkers definition of over reaction? I must say that Stokes game on saturday did not have many bad tackles but then the tackle on Ramsey was a really bad one and Shawcross must be allowed to learn this early in his footballing career how undesirable it his.
For Parker to have suggested it was not wortha send off, shows how little he knows about the rules of football. There is a clear line between committed play and dangerous play.
When Chelsea and Man. United came to the Emirates and won those were committed performances because they knew they could win. For large parts of that game Stoke played what i would call committed football like they always do they are not know to just kick there opponets of the pitch with the aim of achieving a result. The resultant impact and twist led to this horrendous inury that could be career ending where it to be an older player.Untill hist happens to Man. United, someone gets a broken spine or someone is killed people like Parker will continue to encourage dangerous play in the name of committed football. Parker should take a step back and make reasonable and intelligent contributions through his articles.

The New Year has brought many a news and issues that highlight the kind of world we live in.
Bearing this in mind only corporations are the main source and cause of these issues, going as far back as the Roman Empire has greatly fuelled the corruption that has blighted the world we live in today.
The one thing we have all thought was pure and innocent has itself succumbed to thievery, sinful and degenerate behaviour.
Greed has always been the downfall of many a Sports person, gambling, cheating and cooperate espionage have a played a role as the catalyst… But egos, self-righteousness and the need to be relevant in any ever-changing environment where the new and young replace the innovators and the leaders.
Cheating in sports comes in all shapes and seizes, drugs, acquiring a better player to put the sports organisation over the edge illegally, conspiring to affect the outcome of an event or race, consolidating funds from criminal organisations to bring victory to the team which in turn brings in more money, profit and fame.
So its official money is the root of all evil but it also makes the world go round.
But it’s not just the evil side of money that fuels sports, Money provides jobs, opportunities and role models Sports play an important role in society. Many people are involved in the production, playing, delegating, watching, coaching, and selling of sports. Some fans attend/watch games just to see a particular player play, some fans watch games because they love the team. If one player is a star or key player on a sports team, it is easy to understand why they might get paid more than other players. If one player helps the team to victory, which causes the team to sell more tickets, then it is fair to say that the player earns a higher salary than some of the others.

As always with many things in life, death is an issue we don’t want to experience, or wish to talk about. I myself have experienced loses, my 2 sisters and a brother and i remember how it felt. Sports has been an outlet for a lot of things negative in life, and due to this we as mere mortals tend to associate greatness with sports players, after all following a career of one of these supermen or women we feel that we know them, that they are a friend or a family member. ..So it definitely affects us when we lose a sports person to a violent death or to natural causes.
For the 8th time in 2 and a half years the NFL has lost another member of its ferternity via violence….Steve Mcnair was killed by a gunshot wound, by a deranged lover leaving behind a wife and 3 young boys,
Richard Collier of the Jacksonville jaguars was the third NFL player to be shot in the past 18 months. Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor was fatally shot during what police said was a botched burglary attempt at his Miami-area home in November. Broncos Darrent Williams was killed when his rented limousine was sprayed with bullets minutes after leaving a New Year’s party at a downtown Denver club in 2007.
Sean Taylor
in 2007 Sean Taylor was lost to a gunshot wound when armed men broke into his home and killed him in the process, his wife and daughter were asleep upstairs when this happened, turns out the criminals had attended a party that summer at his home, which he threw for his younger cousin…..
also in 2007 the NFL lost 3 players in a fishing accident Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith, who played for the Detroit Lions last season, and former University of player William Bleakly. The bodies of Cooper, Smith and Bleakley have not been recovered and now more recently Chris Henry died after a domestic dispute with his wife to be as he fell out of a speeding truck. when will this madness end another young man is lost to a senseless death and did not live to see the new year 2010.
Now bearing all this in mind a lot of these players have died due to a lifestyle or being at the wrong place at the wrong time, So how does an NFL safety formally of the Arizona Cardinals who passed up on the NFL millions to join the US Rangers to serve his country feature in this crazy circle, his life style nor past killed him but rather his patriotism did ….and ,ended up getting shot apparently by friendly fire. A noble death but still a waste why do so many young with so much potential never live to fulfill their dreams i ask?
PT as Ranger
…….my brother once said ” they teach us every thing but never about death”
