| Balls, Balls, Balls and Other Goals | ||
Football and sex scandals are an inseparable couple. Wherever one is being played out, the other has its balls bouncing spectacularly.  Aah, the good old days when streakers were still sensational The English boys must be the most notorious, but then again it could just be the English media never tires of reporting it. There are well publicized incidents with Brazilian, Portuguese, French and Italian stars (the fans know who I'm referring to) and that's just the beginning. We're not just talking about illicit sex; they're bringing on under-aged prostitutes and transsexual prostitutes. And there are always many team events, involving hotel rooms or the home of a competing team's member when said member is away, as if paparazzi never existed. Since I never felt that football players nor their unusually attractive wives were material for role-modeling, I'm not terribly disappointed in them. I'm just sorry that their exploits keep raising the threshold of what is considered scandalous. But there are some people who have let the football go to their heads and then to their pants. Take Zuma, President of South Africa who, as he hosts millions of visitors, players and media people from around the globe, couldn't possibly take the chance that anyone else's sex scandal would overshadow his own. One of Zuma's three wives (he's a polygamist, which is okay for him under Zulu law, but apparently not so satisfying for her) is pregnant by her bodyguard. Awkward for him, but strangely refreshing as its a woman who is the naughty protagonist in this tale, and not just the prize, the object or the goal post. |
