Should Players Be Suspended For Private Life Activities
There is a tradition that says that once you sign your name to a professional contract, your life becomes the clubs. Every moment, awake or asleep, you are the clubs property. This is to an extent a modern form of slavery with the clubs often able to trade players with anyone, the player has little say in the matter.
What is happening more frequently is that players who transgress off the field, perhaps have a few too many to drink, are finding their social activitiies resulting fines and suspensions by their clubs.
Professional sport is one of the few careers that has such an intense control of an individuals life both on and off the field. Is it right though? At what point does your life become your own? If you are guilty of a transgression that breaches local law then surely local law enforcement should be left to deal with it.
If it doesn’t breach local laws then why the fuss. What are your views? Should clubs control an athlete 24/7. Share your views on SortsViews where fans get to make a difference.
