Excellent. Seems the media has decided it's going to pretend to be morally outraged

Right. And that should be the only role model they need. You are almost certainly the only one they can rely on. Precisely as it should be.

I thought you were a lefty? What about children with rubbish parents

No, they only forfeit, or risk, future earnings, not their livelihoods. Same as anybody else.

Whether you anchor the batting for England or you're a transgender who wants to join the CAG, representing your country is a privilege, and not a right. Thousands of people are rejected or overlooked for their preferred role all the time, and for many different reasons.

THats because they are **** at what they do. This guy is ****ing good and we need him.

THey are ****ed and their parents are to blame. I dont see why it suddenly becomes Rio Ferdinand's job to bring up your kids (bad example I suppose as he is probably a pretty good role model).

It's obvious, isn't it. Bad parents need an excuse, any excuse, and Poor old Rio will do. After all, he gets paid enough, doesn't he.

Precisely. So why shape the world to help bad parents? Leave Rio alone!

If by "we", you mean cricket lovers, England supporters, then yes, I agree. However, most of the people that pay Stokes' wages couldn't give a stuff about England. Or probably even cricket. Unfortunately, and unforgivably, it is them he has fallen foul of. He who pays the piper and a' that.

Don't ask me, Peter; you're the lefty

I mean everyone who loves their country. Anyone who doesnt, get that son of a bitch outta here, he's fired!

You are a very difficult man to agree with.

You're too kind. You're a very difficult man to agree with too
