Livestrong bracelets: To wear or not to wear? that is the question

After world famous cyclist Lance Armstrong has been found guilty of doping and stepped down as CEO of his cancer charity Livestrong, many fans are wondering if they should carry on wearing their Livestrong bracelets. Yesterday, I came across a tweet from someone saying "I have been wearing my Livestrong bracelet since 2004 but not anymore it reminds me too much of Lance I'm sorry". To that I said the following  "Keep wearing the bracelet to at least support the charity, don't let what he has done ruin the good work of the charity".

Yes I do agree that what Lance Armstrong has done is terrible and a huge letdown for all of his friends,family and of course his fans but I don't think that it is right that people stop supporting a good charity just because of what its former CEO did. Lets look at this from another perspective, If you done something bad like take drugs or rob a shop, would your parents stop loving you? no. Well, if you get rid of that Livestrong bracelet and stop contributing to the charity (if you do) then you have effectively stopped loving all of the cancer patients that the charity supports and give help to because of YOUR contributions!

Before you decide to stop loving those cancer patients and forget about the charity and what it truly stands for, just stop and think about what you are about to do and if then still you feel that you have to lose the bracelet and forget about the charity then that is your decision, sad though it is, it is your decision and yours alone.

Just remember, what one person does should not effect millions of people in unfortunate circumstances around the world. 

Are the Serbian under 21's deaf as well as stupid?

Serbia under 21's manager Aleksandar Jankovic has accused the England players of overreaction and has said "I did not see racism". Okay managers protect their teams and fans from media scrutiny when fair and necessary and on this occasion it was neither. What Jankovic has done is lie! Jankovic has also accused the England squad of "using racism because it is such a sensitive issue". Yes it is a sensetive issue which is why England would not lie about it in the first place because they know that if the FA found out they were lying they would be in serious trouble and considering the amount of negative media John Terry has been getting, I doubt England want any more.

The England squad have called for Serbia to be banned from International competition and I think that they should be too. Lets be honest, this isn't the first time Serbia and England have clashed on the pitch and whenever they do clash or fight like they did during the game, it just ruins the atmosphere completely for everyone in the stadium (unless you were joining in like the Serbian fans did!) and for people watching at home.

Aleksandar also said "I did not see racism in Krusevac, and I was there on the field from the first minute (of the match) to the last second of the brawl."

UEFA have called for disciplinary charges against England too because of their reaction to the racist chants from the crowd and players but I don't think that this is very fair because anyone would react that way if they got "monkey" chanted at them wherever they were football players or dustman. I know some of the players should have shown more restraint but obviously it was hard to do that during the fighting and chanting.

Lets all hope that the FA do the right thing by sacking Jankovic and banning Serbia from International competition, this way the game of football will be more enjoyable and hassle free for everyone!
