Is it right for Footballer's private lives to become a media spectacle? ENDS 3/10/10

[Minstrels]

The media literally surround footballers and other celebs. I think its totally wrong, you can never basically do what you would want to do because you know that most of the time, there are news reporters out there, trying to catch you out at something and turn you into a villan or a hero, depending on what they do. So basically, footballers lives are not their lives, their life is controlled by their managers and the media.

I think its everyones right, to have their private lives, kept private.

I dont know if you have watched footballers wives, the tv drama? But that is basically, all about footballers lives and wives, it shows everything how it is!

******* lol...

sounds like you're having your life ran by somebody else as well

No I do not think it is right at all. They are just normal people, albeit amazingly well known/paid however it is just their job and have their own lives just like me and you. So for that reason I think anything they do in their private lives should remain private.

it does. and i actually recommended it to the people that wanted to waste their life trying to become a footballer and they had second thoughts.

It actually doesn't. FW was written for entertainment, it isn't factual. Just like Dream Team, it's written for a laugh, puts a spin on things. I can tell you for a fact FW does not portray the vast majority of footballers day to day, night to night business.

They choose the career and all the attributes which come along with it. In my opinion it's fair, and it's going to be a rarity if you can find a player who would take privacy over the millions of dollars they're making.

They are famous and its a huge market. Dealing with it is part of the job and they are paid very nicely too. Children look up to them and them going around cheating on their gf's and wives is setting a terrible example of the young. Those footballers who cheat disgust me and should be ashamed. Kids look up to them and they are setting an awful example.

The only reason those stories are printed is because lots of people are interested in things like that, they like to see people who have it all lose it all. I think its unfair not just for footballers but for all celebrities, someone's private life is their private life, just because their rich and famous dose not make it ok to expose that. After all they are simply doing their job weather its acting, singing or playing football. Thats what the media should focus on and not what happens behind close doors. I mean how would you feel if the media printed your private life and most of the time is completely untrue.
