It sounds like Carlos Ghosn is justifying violent behaviour on the sporting field. Does he really mean that talented players are not subject to the restrictions of us normal people, just because they are talented sports persons?
His comments as reported here suggest that that is his opinion. If so, he should be ashamed of himself! If not, he should say things as they need to be said, clearly and simply, so that there is no room for doubt.
All sports persons, no matter how talented, need to also learn to control themselves (which by the way would seem to be part of them being great) and, if not, need to be thrown out, suspended, fined and, if necessary, banned from their sport.
I don´t care how good they are!
