Two high profile
football (soccer) players from the English premier league find themselves in
great trouble. One of them (Luis Suarez – Liverpool Football Club, Uruguayan
international) has been banned from playing in eight matches and had a fine
imposed on him due to alleged racial slurs aimed at Manchester United and
France defender Patrice Evra. The other (John Terry – Chelsea Football Club,
English captain) is facing police investigations into alleged racial abuse
aimed at Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
They are under
incredibly great pressure especially because the media has already arrested,
prosecuted and found them guilty. In the public eye, they could only be loved
at the moment by their own families and team members and their teams’
supporters. They have every right to be depressed and to fail to perform at the
highest level of their sport.
The interesting thing
is that they have not yet succumbed to the expectations of their detractors.
Whether or not they are guilty, they have continued to give their very best to
their respective clubs and one could be excused for thinking that there is
nothing wrong with either of them. Irrespective of the goings on in their
private and public life, you can still rise above the situation you find yourself
in and offer the best of your services to those around you. Rise above,
recover.
