More Totti bashing......ridiculous......
Here's an email i wrote in Totti's defense....
Quote:
In light of the recent comments by Saverio regarding the "class” of Totti, one has to question why everyone is fixated or obsessed with Totti. Totti is the undisputed leader of Roma and current leading scorer in Italy. He’s been Roma’s best player every week and is responsible for the great season Roma is having. Therefore, there should be no reason why anyone should criticize him for his actions on the field. Saverio stated that Totti has no “class”. But how can a person who does numerous amounts of community service work, an ambassador for Unicef and donates many hours to charity events, have no “class”. Sure, he wears his heart on his sleeve and gets emotional when he plays. But one shouldn’t see that as a negative aspect, but as a positive. The game needs more players who are determined and play with heart. I admire Totti for his dedicated and strength on the field.
Also, where were the negative comments about Adriano this season. There were no comments about Adriano’s “class”, Saverio? Adriano was in terrible form for months. Was caught by the media drinking and partying at all hours of the night and recently wasn’t physically conditioned to play in the first leg of the CL due to a birthday party. Instead of the club punishing him, they decide to send him on a vacation to Brazil for a couple weeks of relaxation in the sun. These facts do not illustrate a player with “class”.
A person is judged for the amount of “class” by their actions in life. One cannot condemn a person by an occasional act that is inappropriate. Totti is a well respect player by his fellow colleagues and a responsible husband and father. His “class” is determined by what his actions are off the pitch, not by what he does on the pitch!
