Music Social More…

Rio Ferdinand, what has been his contribution to society?

JohnDTraynor [Edit] [Delete] 22:10, 29 August '12

Let's examine the evidence:

Music - On a whim, Ferdinand ran a rap label briefly, that made no positive contribution whatsoever, but did allow him to rap on one of the releases.

Film - As part of his involvement in an anti-knife crime initiative, he finanaced a dreadful south London gangster movie that glorified stupidity and violence.

Anti-racism - He directed an appalling racist term at Ashley Cole while Cole was in court giving evidence in a criminal case.

English language - Every day he spews kiddy-talk on his twitter account.

Performance enhancing drug cheating - Banned for eight months for failing to explain a missed drug test.

Commitment to England team - Wreckless undermining of preparation for Euro 2012 by persistent and dismissive criticism of manager's selections.
