And to sum up, the game of Football (or Soccer according to our linguistically challenged cousins), whilst interesting and enjoyable to participate in and watch, is generally played by the sort of character you would not wish to meet in a dark alley, or a brightly lit road for that matter. They are certainly not worth emulating in any fashion.

I can only assume the partially hidden one who started this thread is attempting to make a joke, or at least incredibly misinformed. This being due to several factual inaccuracies. Firstly, Luis Suarez has thrice bitten other players on the field of play, repeatedly cheats and abuses others, and is currently serving a lengthy ban, and, on top of that, plays for Barcelona, not Liverpool. He is probably one of the most reprehensible human beings alive today. And Lionel Messi, despite being an excellent player, is not a role model by anybody’s standards.

And as regards American Rugby Football, whilst I am not particularly knowledgeable regarding this subject, I can only assume they too are anything but role models. At least if OJ Simpson is anything to go by.
