Professional sports are similar throughout the world. For example, the Allsvenskan does not differ from the NFL. We should not imagine anything other than that it is about results.

That is, cash. The Kingsley Sarfo story is so rotten and so miserable that you don't want to approach it with a protective suit.

There are no heroes. No nice guys. There are instead people who more or less consciously hunted results, hunted titles and prize money - and therefore may not have taken the time to get to know the main character in a way that was obviously necessary in this case.

If it floats in  football - yes, then it takes a lot to get in and pee in things that can interfere with the rhythm of success.

There are certainly some people today who wonder if they could have done anything more to prevent the crime for which Kingsley Sarfo was convicted.

Although one would not admit it outwardly, they learn to sit in every wise man's (for men here) heads for the rest of their lives. It is natural.

Then there are those who Niklas Strand, an agent who apparently "helped" Sarfo during much of the footballer's time in Sweden.

He says this in TV4's "Cold Facts": - When I offer Sarfo to various clubs to move on, it is very difficult to find a club for him. As soon as they google and see what he has on the register it sounds so damn much worse than it is.

Obviously, it's a shame about the girl, but it's not such a shame, they've had so much fun together. The quote is so shockingly inhuman. So it is a pity for the imprisoned Kingsley Sarfo. He just wants to play football again. And it wasn't just his fault. All this says Niklas Strand .

But what Niklas Strand really says is: “Here is potential cash that is lost. And it's not me who gets them, someone else will take them. "

Kareem Hunt is a celebrated running back in the NFL. He stormed through defense for a few seasons for his Kansas City Chiefs and played a position as one of the league's brilliant stars. Until the bomb dropped.

Or, more accurately, the nasty TMZ video that showed Kareem Hunt abusing a woman with punches and kicks and which had a quick consequence.

The Chiefs didn't want anything to do with the gunman Hunt, but cut him straight from the team. Good, you think.

Morally right and powerful. And I agree. The only problem is that the sensationally unlucky Cleveland Browns suddenly saw a chance to fill a hole in the squad as Hunt was never sentenced for the abuse everyone saw him perform.

 And when the NFL handed out its "penalty", eight (!) Games of suspension - Kareem Hunt soon continued to run with the ball and make money for himself, the Browns and the league. Morality was as blown away.

The cash had spoken. These examples are everywhere, and as a staunch sports journalist, I should perhaps not react so strongly. But for a four-child grandfather with two daughters, I get mad when I read Niklas Strand's words.

And I repeat the tweet I pulled when I first read the quote from "Cold Facts": Kingsley Sarfo is probably doing his best to look for a counselor who really wants to help him. Someone who can explain what is right and wrong, legal and illegal - and how to proceed.

Niklas Strand should then quickly look for a new profession.
