I don't know why people associate footballers with being stupid, just seems like working class snobbery to me.

It's lazy thinking to label any group of people, especially just because of which profession they have. It's also prejudice.

I think with footballers its a throwback to the old days when it was common for people that didn't consider themselves academic enough to go into sport to try and make a living.

Agreed. Some have below average intelligence and common sense, some average and some above average. Just like the rest of the population.

10 weeks for a pathetic amount of money!

The punishment shouldn't be linked to the amount so I think it's a good thing he has a decent ban. Embarrassing for him and his mates though the laughable amounts of the bets.
