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

The media often focuses on the wives/girlfriends who have been wronged, as well as the occasional attempt at a 15 minutes of fame for the women that the footballers have cheated with. Is this necessary? An affair or cheating may well destroy a relationship and so a certain level of sympathy is bound to be felt towards the victims. However, is the media right to cover it in such detail?
Should coverage of footballers strictly be kept to what happens on the pitch?
