Initially, I was pleasantly surprised. Together we played Fifa 03, mother and son bonding over a football game lost to his expert childish thumbs jabbing x buttons to pass and o buttons to shoot. But when the new Fifa 07 game was unwrapped – a modern version rated at an unbelievable 3-plus (what mother is going to let a toddler go from Teletubbies to PlayStation?) I was shocked. In a matter of a couple of years, there were new aggressive gestures to the referee, nasty pushing and shoving between footballers after fouls, close-ups of angry grimaces at the ref’s decision. The unacceptable face of football.
New, "agressive" gestures. Oh deary me. How can they peddle that filth.

I doubt that they'll publish the comment on this article that I submitted but I thought I'd leave it for your delectation:
Dear God. If you had your entertainment removed by a sanctimonious killjoy with almost absolute power over your life, I suspect that you would express your frustration rather voluably.
Your child is ten years old and understandably finding it hard to deal with your utterly irrational decision making. It's no great suprise that he kicked something.
