Like being banned by FIFA in Italy for drugs Or being kicked out of World Cup for PEDs ? Or do you mean you want a list of his unsportsman plays? Or number of times he was offsides? |
It was just a question, not an attack. Simmer down. |
| Maybe the PP wanted to know about the Napoli mafia connections or the rape allegations? |
Maradona was the greatest footballer to be accused of rapes (yes plural), Mafia connections, cheating with PEDs, cheating drugs, and cheating in multiple world cups, and being banned from football multiple times ..... but hey no one is perfect ... and winning is everything |
I already knew about those.... |
8 children he didn’t claim from 6 different women. Plus, he idolized a scum like Castro. Funnily enough both communists died the same day 4 year apart. Good shit in my opinion! |
| Maradona is the Mike Tyson or soccer. Troubled person, but almost certainly the most electrifying talent in his sport. |
Good call here. Tyson had a horrendous childhood (not just poor but totally abused and then abandoned) and also totally changed his life and manner in the past 10-15 years, no question. But the comparison remains appropriate. |
Don’t confuse controversy for greatness. Tyson was a young brute force of power in a weak heavyweight era. Ali and Frazier would have destroyed him. And Ali and Frazier each also were great people in addition to being great athletes Cruyff And Pele are likewise great persons who transcended their great athleticism and continued to positively influence their world Maradona is essentially a punk who has great close ball control. As great a player as he was a bad human being. The only irony here is that Diego was in a team sport. Refusing to recognize your biological children despite DNA results is possibly a new low for the male of the species. |
