Wayne Rooney’s outburst
WHAT do you think about Wayne Rooney’s foul-mouthed live on-air rant?
Do you share my opinion that this grossly over-paid “icon” is neither hero nor role model. Rooney is a boor. He has no sense of decorum, little self-control and zero appreciation of the example he sets his fans, his family and his baby son in particular.
Whatever became of the gentleman sportsman? Athletes such as Rooney are supposed to be temples to sacrifice, control and hours of gruelling training. Childishly he blamed his volley of four-letter words, watched by thousands of children, on a “heat of the moment reaction”. Let’s hope his team mates made sure he felt the heat of the moment and the FA will follow with a punishment to jolt Rooney’s infuriating complacency.
