WSJ Dabbles in John Terry Story

Rumors have been swirling that English National Team (soccer) Captain John Terry had marital “transgressions” involving the girlfriend of former club and current national team teammate, Wayne Bridge. I am not sure how this story merits publication in the WSJ other than it loosely connects the British/Euro fascination with “football” culture to the PR and entertainment business. I just think they're looking for content juicier than healthcare and munsoned Toyotas. Anyway, not only did the journal drill Terry as a sauced adulterer, they also blew up his spot for parking in handicap spaces! There was also a noteworthy quote from a former English National team player who played in the late ‘80s (80s!), “There was always an unwritten law that you didn’t go near another player’s wife or girlfriend, and you expected the same from them.” Nice, as long as it’s OK for me, then.

Read the full story here.
