A friend on Facebook this morning questioned why more footballers were getting it per capita . Amongst his thoughts was whether it had to do with their lifestyle on/off the pitch .
Where was John Akinde on Monday ? At a beer festival at Covent Garden . Unmasked , as i believe you are in a pub . I know that because a friend , a Doncaster supporter , had travelled down to the festival with some of his mates . The photo of him and Akinde hit my messenger account an hour or so before the photo was posted on Facebook
Akinde wasn't the only footballer there . There are also photos with John Marquis , Steve Fletcher ( stoke ) , Ben Watson , Kyle Bartley ( west brom ) .
Then there's Danny Lloyd . Good player from what i've seen , but tweeting anti-vax and anti-mask stuff . Allegedly , as that's what is being said by Gills supporters on Twitter .
So i guess there is a sort of " i am a fit man so it can't hurt me " attitude amongst players . Incidentally , my Doncaster friend caught Covid and survived it earlier this year . As i said to the wife on Monday , he's risking getting it again going to "that London"
