Quote:
Leicester City Football Club has notified Tom Hopper, Adam Smith and James Pearson that their contracts with the club have been terminated.
The decision follows the conclusion of an internal investigation and disciplinary proceedings, as a consequence of events that took place during the Club’s end-of-season goodwill tour of Thailand. Leicester City Football Club is acutely aware of its position, and that of its players, as a representative of the city of Leicester, the Premier League, the Football Association and the Club’s supporters. It is committed to promoting a positive message of community and family values and equality, and to upholding the standards expected of a Club with its history, tradition and aspirations. The Club will make no further comment on the investigation, its finding or outcomes.
Whats the big deal. A few dudes paid some hookers to have an orgy and filmed it. I was expecting to see some sort of extreme BDSM or sex with animals or something else taboo. Why is this even news?
Remember the Vikings infamous yacht party?Quote:

In the US that would be the #1 sports story of the year. There would be 'round the clock coverage on ESPN, countless HOT TAKES from self-righteous columnists, rumors and gossip all over the blogs and social media, it's all anybody would talk about. We'd all wait with baited breath to see how hard morality police Goodell drops the hammer. I'd be sick of hearing about it after a week.
Compared to us, it seems that the English are taking this well in stride.
Nah. A few years ago Rex Ryan got caught ion some swinger website with some weird foot fetish thing and trying to peocure a threesome with some BBC for his wife and the NFL buried that ish pretty quick. And trent Richardson basically did the same thing as these guys on video and again buried. Even the Brett favre thing didn't receive that much play.
There is a ton of sex stuff with US professional athletes on the inter webs and we don't know about most of it cause the media buries it cause who cares.
lol you can't bury stories in the digital age. You think "the media" can stop some random guy from uploading a video to vid.me or whatever? They're not the Illuminati.Quote:

The scandalous and salacious nature of what I described doesn't even compare to the examples you brought up anyway. They weren't swept under the rug, they just weren't that big a deal.
[QUOTE=SrslySirius;415075]I don't really see how this is a big deal either. But to each their own.Quote:

Oops. Leicester win the Premier League after Tottenham couldn't beat Chelsea today.Quote:

This should never have happened.
People wouldnt have bet on them if they were 500-1, but at 5000-1 they were like Fuck It, why not.
Thing is, even 5000/1 was shit odds. But bookies don't go higher than that really.
Elvis alive etc. you get shorter odds.
