Because it is a totally different environment. What constitutes acceptable behaviour in one environment may not be considered acceptable in another.
I've worked in an office where telling someone to lift their flicking game in front of everyone would cause a shitstorm. But that sort of language is acceptable in every football dressing room in the country.
Being a Professional Football Player is no different from any other job.You have your work place, a manager who you are accountable to.A Union, and a shop steward.Football players have the same employment rights.
Like it or not Roberto Mancini attacking Mario Balotelli today is a serious offense,he has basically assaulted him in the work place.
Roberto could be instantly dismissed for gross misconduct and would not have to be compensated either.
Roberto has left himself wide open to all courses of action from his employer and Gordon Taylor from the PFU.
I love Roberto but what he did today was dumb.There might be serious ramifications unless we placate Balotelli and his agent immediately,by cutting our losses and making his move where ever beneficial to both party's
