Liverpool's Diogo Jota, crossing the line and why footballers deserve better
Footballers are human beings.
This is a fundamental element of the game that very often gets ignored by fans, pundits and any other media professionals.
In the age of social media, it's so easy to distract oneself from this fact.
We see the people on the television and we are so desensitised to everything that we don't see them as humans but rather as characters - as if we are watching a Netflix series.
But football is not a Netflix series. The characters in the game are not fictional people but actual tangible human beings with emotions and feelings and their own private lives that deserve to be respected.
