When is clumsy malicious? In Football. When talent is over shadowed by aggression.

Watching the footballers on Match of the Day comment on Shawcross' challenge I realise how irrational logic is ever present in the game and why football will never move forward when it is grossly embedded in the psyche of football to dominate with aggression and not with talent.

Football is a fast game. So, how stupid do you have to be to play with aggression, with force with speed where contact is involved? Where is your respect and consideration for players in such a game?

Stoke, and all premiership football teams should spend far more time, responsibly expressing the importance of respect to players. I am sure, in fact I can guarantee most managers, if not all, encourage players to play with full force and intensity because that means money.

Football + Aggression = Money.

Another equation could be

Football + Talent = Money.

or maybe.

Respect + consideration = Football

an if that final equation was the case with billions around the world following the game through the internet or TV... then wouldn't the world be a better place?
