Sad news but I don't see why them being a footballer, and an average one at that, makes it any worse.

Is it because we all look at them as roll models perhaps?

I understand why it is more NEWSWORTHY but not sure why it is any worse a crime.

As professional footballers are role models I also think the title of this thread is extremely irresponsible as it suggests that it is ok for young people to kill their dads.

I thought he'd killed his own dad.

A tragedy in its own right.

But - as has been pointed out - as a news story, it's capable of being presented in a variety of ways, each of which will have its own resonance:-

Footballers are so f***ing thick, changing a song on your ipod is no different to using your phone at the wheel, if an accident occurs because of it then the idiot deserves jail.
