Mmmmm.... Too many people wants athletes to behave as Gandhi or some kind of nun... that's virtually impossible.. Remember a great percentage of this kids come from slumps and favelas and thanks to their football talent they're suddenly rich and the whole world revolves around them... It is something not easy to manage, specially if you dropped out of school before ninth grade...

As ryu pointed scandals and overpaid athletes go hand in hand... Some are just overblown by fans and the press, some are really bad things and get a lesser penalty only because the player or the team pays for good lawyers... I would put Teo behaviour while in Turkey in the first category and hence I would not say he is a bad person, only inmature... If he was brazilian or Argentinian that won't prevent him from making it to the big leagues... With a colombian... Ouch... I think they have not taken our kids' antics since Asprilla retired...

Of the top of my head, here are just a few incidents and how I would categorize them...

Tevez taking a leave of abcense saying he misses his family and then being caught partying in Canarias - Primadonna
C.Ronaldo tearing his third Ferrari in a month to pieces - Inmature
Mutu being framed in sex pictures - Sex Adict
Adriano hanging out with the bad dudes from favelas - Stupid
Terry sleeping with his ex-team mate girlfriend and cheating on his wife - Traitor

Finally, as ryu said, in the States we're used to all the shenanigans from athletes... They range from hosting dog fights, to shooting your limo driver, to (alledgely) raping groupies, to sitting out games to demand a trade... In Colombia we've had a guy killing a fan, a drunk guy killing his girlfriends in a car accident, a guy kicking an owl, another caugh in naked pictures (and the worst part) with an ugly chick, guys that get shot or killed in clubs........
