    This is bad, but in his defence it seems like he was obligated to go as part of the teams duties, as opposed to choosing this. I know he has an option to speak out and refuse, especially with his profile, but he's always been shy and quiet. All he wants to do is play football.

    he was also activly hiding money to evade taxes. I think he is not the golden boy every one thinks he is.
