double standards

So why is Robinho a disgrace while Tevez escapes all the criticism for being a jackass? Here are some of the reasons compiled, and oh the media is just plain bullshit. These are the situations on how the media and public reacted to each player.

1- Leaves bigger club to join Manchester City
Robinho: He's going for the money, isn't he? Thinks he's joining United.
Tevez: He's going to prove himself, not too proud to take a step down.

2 - Slow to learn English
Robinho: Shows he doesn't intend to hang around long.
Tevez: His English is better than your Spanish.

3 - Scores most of his goals against 'lesser' teams
Robinho: Flat-track bully, big-game bottler.
Tevez: Always gives 100 per cent, no matter who the opposition.

4 - Argues with referee
Robinho: Shows he is undisciplined and frustrated with English football.
Tevez: Shows his unquenchable passion and how much he wants to win the game .

5 - Performs poorly when played out of position
Robinho: Not prepared to work for the team, needs everything built around him.
Tevez: Manager selling him short by prioritising other big-name players.

6 - Constantly links himself with transfers to big clubs.
Robinho: Brazenly whoring himself out to the highest bidder.
Tevez: Blame his advisors and those nasty MSI chaps.

7 - Says he wants to go back to South America
Robinho: Can't handle the pressure of playing in Europe.
Tevez: Boy from the barrios hasn't forgotten his roots.

8 - Aggravates a pre-existing injury while on international duty.
Robinho: Taking the mickey, disrespecting the fans who pay his wages.
Tevez: Deeply patriotic, just loves playing football.

9 - Gives ill-advised radio interview in home country
Robinho: What an idiot. Hasn't he heard of translators?
Tevez: Refreshing honesty, he's speaking from the heart.

10 - Taunts former club after scoring against them.
Guest villain Emmanuel Adebayor: Scum of the earth, pure and simple.
Tevez: Take that, Gary Neville, you ugly shitwad!

Yea the media is bullshit isn't it? So are the majority of footballing fans, especially in these areas. Thinking by acting the way they do they are 'patriotic' and 'loyal' to their club and country.

So much free time now that my SSC consist of me just staying home and doing research on my piece lol. Should be fun though just that I wish I could be back in KL for CNY and Valentine's. Just a random thought, but there is a way that the rich people of the world can stop the world from smoking - if they all combine to buy up all the tobacco and cigs in the world and store them away. Just a thought.
