Not So Black And White

[Blind Gossip] There has been a lot of speculation about why a certain wife would run to the press to spill the secrets of her husband’s teammates and their wives.

The first theory centered around jealousy.

Why shouldn’t the Newer Wife try to climb her way up in the media and the social standings by knocking down the Older Wife a few pegs? Perhaps it’s reasonable to expect that the competitive spirit their husbands exhibit while playing their sport rubbed off on the wives!

The second theory centered around money.

Although her husband makes plenty of money as a professional athlete, why shouldn’t the wife pocket a few dollars of her own by selling the secrets of the famous people around her?

However, the situation may not be so black and white.

What if there was a third theory?

And that third theory was… blackmail!

[The media company] had some dirt on her husband engaging in racist behavior. It would have severely harmed her husband’s reputation or even destroyed his entire career if it got out. The media company agreed to bury it as long as she continued to feed them dirt about the other players and wives.

Actually, the third theory may be more than a theory. It was actually the event that got the ball rolling on this whole scandal!

So before you wag our finger at the Newer Wife to shame her, consider the untenable position in which she may have found herself.

It does provide an interesting twist to this story, doesn’t it?

However, even if the wife agreed to be an informant solely to protect her husband, it’s hard to imagine the other athletes and wives forgiving her for spilling their secrets!

    Well, Jamie Vardy has been known to use racist slurs. In July 2015, Jamie was caught on video using an offensive word to refer to someone he believed to be from Japan. The story remained buried until the BBC reported on it in September 2016. Jamie kept his job and underwent diversity training. But Rebekah is just as bad; in 2014, she tweeted her negative feelings about a black man who was walking in the same direction as her. Thus, it’s no surprise that Jamie and Rebekah Vardy are racist.

    If I were Rooney, I’d be professional and not make it worse, it’s pretty lame to have these grade school style social media dabblings. Go live your rich AF life and raise your children to be decent humans.

    Wayne and Colleen Rooney,

    Optional: I can see the difficult situation that the Vardy’s are in but it’s through no fault of the other wives or players, so I don’t necessarily see why they should forgive Rebekah, unless they truly want to.

      The Vardys and Rooneys. It is a really tedious topic, the British press seem to find a new angle to it every day.

    The third theory isn’t surprising at all. Jamie Vardy used a racial slur against a Japanese man in a casino in 2015. I wonder what he’s done this time. It would destroy his career because tackling racism in football is a big issue in England right now.
