Maradona as Political Commentator
By Randy Paul of Beautiful Horizons
I'm hardly an America love it or leave it type. I have no problem with making informed, well-grounded criticisms of my nation's government when merited.
However, should I take seriously a multiple-rehabbed, possibly brain-damaged, ex-footballer who cannot control his addictive behavior or ignorant statements, whose sole World Cup Championship will forever be tainted by the fact that he cheated to attain a major victory in the run to the championship and who blamed his inability to defend the championship on the mafia, when he says “I hate everything that comes from the United States. I hate it with all my strength?”
Naah.
Here's an artist's rendering of Maradona's first training session of national team coach:
Fortunately, even the AFA has more sense than to give Maradona that job.
