The article discusses Kyle Walker's decision to leave Manchester City and the media's obsession with his personal life rather than his on-field achievements. It criticizes the tabloid culture that focuses on gossip and speculation surrounding Walker's relationships and personal choices, neglecting his significant contributions to football.
England star’s departure from Manchester City has spurred tabloids to spew out snackable content, little of it focused on his achievements on the pitchEngland ace Kyle Walker has SENSATIONALLY asked Manchester City for a divorce – and pals fear the sharp decline of his recovery pace could be to blame.
That bit of the column took about three hours to write. I’m not even sure it’s funny. Certainly I can confirm from acute research exposure that celebrity gossip journalism may well be the weirdest form of the English language ever invented: a brain-melting argot of multiple compound nouns, facts as adjectives, adjectives as exclamations, exclamations as facts. Commas less as punctuation and more as a kind of lifestyle choice.
I do not propose to judge or analyse Walker’s life choices in any great detail. Partly out of an earnest belief that Walker’s personal life is his own business, particularly when the welfare and sensitivities of young children are involved. Mostly, however, it’s because I couldn’t give the tiniest sh*t. I don’t care how many children Henri Camara has. I don’t care if Nabil Bentaleb breached social distancing rules during Covid. I don’t care if James McAtee’s ex has finally “broken her silence”.
I interviewed Walker back when he was still at Spurs and was stunned when he described himself at one point as “an average player”. At this point he was already an England international, a young player of the year, one of the most exciting full-back prospects in world football. But of course he was still running, and in a way he was right.
