A Soccer Con Man Who Couldn't Play the Game
At risk of being called overly-PC, I must point out that the opening sentence is could be seen as objectifying women:<p>&gt;Brazilian soccer star Carlos Kaiser had it all: exclusive contracts with popular teams, money, fame, and women.<p>I normally don&#x27;t point out things like this, because hyper-sensitivity to things that are often considered &quot;offensive&quot; when they really aren&#x27;t can be annoying. But I can&#x27;t see how to interpret this other than &quot;women&quot; being a possession.<p>To be fair, the author isn&#x27;t likely being malicious, and I think he just means that he&#x27;s receiving the attention of lots of women. Such attention is, arguably, an &quot;object&quot; in the sense of a commodity in the social marketplace (&quot;that guy has a lot of women&quot; is often seen as a compliment whether you like it or not). But still, I&#x27;m surprised at how much the author&#x27;s choice of words bothered me. I don&#x27;t even identify as a feminist in the traditional sense....<i>shrug</i>.
