A woman's perspective on the John Terry saga, the thrown-together PG version

What a disgusting piece of scum. I'm not sure there's really any other way of looking at it, to be honest, unless you're a pig-headed guy who thinks he's awesome for sleeping around (and if that's the case, I have nothing more to say to you). Even looking past the fact that Wayne Bridge was a teammate, even if it was just some random girl, the heart of the matter is that he's still married with children. Just because you make ridiculous amounts of money and are an international celebrity, that doesn't give you an excuse to cheat on your wife. As for the impact it'll have on Chelsea and England? I honestly could care less. It's an interesting dilemma, but since it doesn't affect me directly, I'm not going to worry about it. Forget Team Bridge, I'm Team Toni all the way.

Side note: this has nothing to do with the fact that he plays for Chelsea and England. If he was a Fulham player, a Crew player, a USMNT player, or just some random guy on the street, I'd feel the same way. That being said, every stupid remark John Harkes makes while calling a game will now sound even stupider to me.

  1. Any person that cheats on their partner loses any respect I may have had for them. Knowing what Harkes did makes me like him even less than before. Team Wynalda.

  2. Ouch, harsh.
    I feel sorry for the lad.
    He made a mistake, albeit a massive mistake; but because of that, he's being criticised worldwide. Any other guy would just deal with a small group criticising him - this guy has the whole of the country on his back.
    And you can't say he deserves it.

  3. I'd say he does deserve it. He's a serial cheater- this is far from his first offense. And he's a grown man, he knows his standing in the world and he certainly knew what the consequences would be, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to get the injunction.
