More details
Footballers are role models for millions of children across the world and yet a vicious attack on the pitch is not investigated by the police....whats kind of message does that send to the children, that violence is acceptable? that money and fame are more important than the law?
Footballers should who assault others should be punished the same as a member of the public (which they are)
