I don't think that's the point. The point is that you made a silly comment about someone who has a record, and that without football they are bound to a life of crime. A few posters on here merely pointed out that it's a stupid thing to say because it's based on a hypothetical / assumption.
I don't care if you have no sympathy for criminals. That had nothing to do with your comment
How is it a silly comment? Now he's a footballer, he'll be rich, famous, constantly watched and now most likely mentored.
It's not at all far fetched to suggest that had he not become a footballer he'd likely have carried on his criminal past (which isn't really past anyway).
