Rich footballers, pop stars ‘bad role models’ for boys

London: Society’s obsession with footballers and pop stars, and their wealth is eroding hard work, says the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK.

The 29-year-old Chelsea captain John Terry, who earns 150,000-pounds a week, became a hero for the club’s young fans but was later revealed to be a love rat who cheated on his wife by having an affair with the ex of former team-mate Wayne Bridge. During the union’s annual conference in Manchester, delegates called for promotion of more positive values of family life, reports The Daily Star. The worry followed after it was revealed working class white boys had some of the worst exam results of any group. ANI
