What Price a Life?
None apparently if you're an international football player.
I feel for the man, this is nothing short of disgusting.

On January 26 he spoke proudly to an African newspaper about his three children while at the African tournament -unaware that the boy had died.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
