One thing we need to talk about as a football community is player welfare. I think player welfare has really been neglected and by player welfare I’m talking about the mental side, the financial side, the family side, the educational side, the sexual orientation side, the religious side, the social responsibility side, the substance abuse side. A lot of young players are losing there way because they lack the basic skills to be consistent and responsible people. Football clubs also need to take more responsibility for the welfare of there players. Football is so much more than just kicking a ball.
