and the flip side to that coin

is that they are on tv every night pretty much, cuddling each other and gobbing all over the place. the coaching staff are in various levels of face coverings from none at all, to under the chin devotees, mouth covered beak out cavaliers whose nose isn't connected to their respiratory systems i guess to full-on mask and visors and surgical gloves. what the f**k sort of message is that? every single f**king night. with the high salary that comes with being a superstar/role model comes a level of responsibility that they clearly are not giving much more than the merest of f**ks about and this behaviour sends the message out to a lot of impressionable people that covid really is not that serious. however, because they are footballers they get excused and not a single eyelid is batted.
