I make judgements all the time, however I don't voice them as fact until I have met someone or at least know far more about them, I also do not make judgements of someone's character based on who they work for or by some set of partisan criteria as you are doing.
I could infer the same arbitrary judgement about you purely based on your posts in this thread, that would hardly be fair, or indeed representative of your character in reality though, would it?

None of those, it's because he plays for Manchester United. DO I have to give you a run down of the history between the 2 clubs?
Do you think this **** storm would have surfaced if say Van Persie had done it or Charlie Adam or <pick someone, anyone>
Exactamundo.
If I walked into work and most of the office was calling me a fat **** and a granny shagger and I managed to save the company a million pound, I would turn round and tell those same people to **** off.
Technically professionalism is simply being paid to do something.
Rooney is not a role model and I don't know why people expect top level footballers to be role models.
The holier than thou attitude of the tabloids (and the FA in this case) is pretty disgusting to be honest. If we delved into the lives of tabloid journalists I bet they all have skeletons in their closets....
he takes endorsements, therefore he has responsibility
And if they don't like his behaviour they can drop him. Nothing to do with the FA.

I could clearly hear the crowd chanting things like, 'you fat &^$%^*(' all match... do they get a 2 match ban too?
Again, he doesnt work for the FA, and I doubt that referees are graded managers at Manchester United either.
You cant draw these kind of comparisons, because they dont stand up.
Wayne Rooney is employed by manchester United.
He reports to: Mike Phelan, Sir Alex Ferguson.
They report to:
David Gill
He Reports to:
The Glazers.
Manchester United play in the Premier league to earn money, by achieving certian results they are then invited to participate in other competitions (to earn money)
By accepting these invites, they say they will stick to the criteria laid out re match governance and rules of play.
At no point is any official from any of the competitions in authority over any of the club staff.
What they are is judges in a game, thats it.
The only slightly comparable scenario to what wayne has done is for intance me telling someone from another company who has come to take pictures of me at work, to **** ***.
To what?
Wear their boots?
Appear in adverts for computer games?
I doubt in any of the agreements he signed it said "must be faithfull to wife, must not swear"
Honestly.
"Must not bonk granny hookers"?
No he doesn't, the corporations that hire him have corporate responsibility, that is about it.
And I bet those employed directly by those corporations swear at work every now and again.
If it is anything like the company I work for, the boardroom is, on occasion, a warzone where profanity is the weapon of choice.
On the flipside the likes of Nike, Coco Cola and FIFA11 are probably rubbing their hands together at every bit of controversy he brings.
"Wayne Rooney the terribly nasty man has done this, this week. Rooney who is sponsored by Nike, Coke and FIFA11, may well be dropped from these lucrative agreements"
Kerching.
So nothing to back up your argument just "....Erm.....United fans are blinkered LOL, what if he did it in a City short LOLOLOLOL"
Great argument.
