Classy People Staying Classy


Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry (he still holds the record for most goals scored for the club ever) has lashed out at former teammate Emmanuel Adebayor for his actions against Arsenal fans during their match up with Manchester City last weekend.

Henry said that Adebayor lacks class, and that that was thrown into light with Adebayor's totally unnecessary goal celebration, for which he is facing an improper conduct charge.

In keeping with classy players, Everton striker El-Hadji Diouf is being investigated by police after a ball boy alleged that Diouf made a racist remark toward the boy after he failed to throw the striker the ball fast enough during the game.

The Mercyside Police would only release this statement: "We are looking into an allegation that a 28-yr-old man used racist language at the Everton match today."

Really? Making racist remarks at a child? You know, Cristiano Ronaldo yelled at a young ball boy last summer during the EuroCup and I don't think I've ever hated him more. I would be so ashamed of myself if I ever went off like that at a kid I didn't know.

The English Premier League is a breeding ground for classy players.
