High Risk Insurance

Didn't post the last couple of days because the Ronaldo rumouring was about the only thing going down and that's so boring now that I couldn't be bothered.
Today we have the news that Rooney's going to miss the start of the season due to a virus. This story leads to one of those ridiculous articles that you wonder what on earth possessed the writer to write. In this case it's Tony Cascarino, who goes from Man Utd shouldn't have gone to Nigeria to players shouldn't go anywhere:

If Paula Radcliffe can get bitten by a spider in France, it can’t be a surprise when Wayne Rooney contracts a mysterious virus in Nigeria. Barclays Premier League clubs are putting players’ health at risk for the sake of making money from foreign tours to increasingly far-flung destinations.
Top clubs obsess over their players’ well-being, hiring sports scientists, dieticians, dentists, doctors and opticians - and then fly the team thousands of miles to exotic locations, exposing them to new germs in unfamiliar climates as well as the usual risks of air travel such as fatigue and picking up a bug from the plane’s air-conditioning.
And let’s not forget that footballers don’t spend their summers in Brighton any more. The stars go abroad on holiday, often jet-setting to several destinations around the globe in quick succession

Whatever next: suggesting footballers shouldn't ever play football in case they get injured?
