The Victorians formulated Association Football to set moral and ethical standards in a society (or a sector of society) that they perceived to be semi-feral - the working classes. It stressed teamwork, hard work, adherence to a set of codified standards, fairness and the rule of the rule. Manly endeavour and working for the common good, look out for your team-mates. And no backchat.
If Mr Lineker (a seemingly articulate and intelligent man) learned his ethics there he did OK.
Unlike a septic example of a rancid profession like LJ.
