celebs should never ever be taken seriously when it comes to any other matter than the one they actually excel at, be it football or acting etc.

No I dont want a fucking actor, raised by actors, isolated from society telling me how to vote or what to think about economics. Same goes for footballers. These people are not normal in any sense of the word nor do they have any understanding of the world they live in so sheltered.

I'd normally agree however a lot of footballers don't come from prestigious backgrounds. Jordan or certainly a lot of his colleagues would come from a hugely diverse background. The one area he could have a voice is diversity. He championed a positive stance for many years and this move showed the world his diversity values were paper bill then.
