Why John Terry Had To Be Dropped As England Captain

There is uproar amongst many at the removal of John Terry as captain but the timing of the court case has forced the FA’s arm and sadly I believe that they had no choice.
John Terry has the support and backing of the fans as Chelsea captain and we do not believe that he is a racist regardless of the outcome of the upcoming court case.
However as England captain he represents the nation, our ideals beyond those simply of football an England captain must be beyond repute acting as a role model and figurehead representing our country.
If a player has a reputation that is in dispute then an individual is not eligible for this position until this is resolved.
We have to accept that the charges against John Terry are very serious for such a public figure and have to be dealt with as such.
For the captaincy I believe that the precedence of innocent until proven guilty is not applicable, the mere implication in criminal proceedings (however bogus) makes him ineligible for the captaincy until they are resolved.
These are not easy things to write given my respect for John Terry and his position with the club but I would share this opinion about any player in these circumstances.
The timing of this all is deeply regrettable and I hope that you will join me in supporting John Terry at the Bridge on Sunday.
