What Is The World Coming To... jailed footballers come back to play football..

Recommended Posts

Footballer Joey Barton has been released from jail after serving two months of a six-month sentence for attacking a man.For those of you who don't know, Joey Barton plays in the Premier League for Newcastle United. He was signed last summer from Manchester City after he assaulted another man. That time it was his former team mate Ousmane Dabo but escaped another jail term when handed a suspended four-month sentence. Joey Barton has also been in trouble before after stubbing a cigar in another former team mate's eye.Kevin Keegan (the Newcastle Manager) has that Barton would be given a second chance by the club. In a proper job, Joey Barton would have been sacked by the company but here, he has been given another chance in a career where he has done exactly what he was jailed for before!Atleast Nike have done the proper thing after they stated that they have terminated their £40,000 boot sponsorship deal with Joey Barton. A similar incident has happened where Plymouth Argyle (another football team) has terminated the contract of a player after he has been sentenced to jail. So if they can do seem to do it, why cant newcastle? and should somebody step in after all the violence Barton has caused in his football career, especially as hes meant to be a role model for young children?Lets here your thoughts please! :mellow:
