Subject: Joey
Barton hit in face outside Garlands nightclub in Liverpool
Date: MONDAY 04 JUNE 2012
Summary
Joey Barton was punched in the face by two men of which one was
arrested. This is not the first time this has happened he gets beaten up quite
a lot due to his controversial on and off pitch life. He also tweets in a very
opinionated manner which pisses off quite a lot of people. Police were
immediately on the scene and had to hold back a shirtless Joey Barton, Barton’s
girlfriends helped in the holding back process. Barton has been portrayed badly
in the news four times in 2004, once in 2005, twice in 2006, twice in 2007,
once in 2008, once in 2009, once in 2010, once in 2011 and so far five times in
2012.
Opinion
A man was punched in his face after leaving a bar, why? Because he has
opinions. Why is this news? Because he is a footballer. Can we now get on with
real news. No? Okay, I will enlargen my opinion. The fact that footballers are
famous is because they can kick around a ball on a field really well, sometimes
they even play in a team format, more often than not they forget that they are
not alone on the field. The biggest problem here is that footballers might get
quite arrogant and see their opinions as facts. And everybody knows that is
only the case regarding me.
I think you fail to see the real problem here. A man has been hurt multiple times because of his opinions. Freedom of speech means you should be able to say whatever you want without the fear of getting beaten up afterwards.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree with you Anouk, that is how it should be, but sadly people get beaten up for their opinions everywhere. Also, the press has probably been exaggerating his opinions to make them sound more menacing. This provokes more scandal and thus this makes it to the front page.
