I still don't agree with you, the act was nothing to do with football, its a private matter, regardless of whether it affected the decision of Bridge to play with Terry or not.
If thats the case, the club should have simply fined Bridge, transfer listed or worst case, sacked him, it is not his decision when he should play or who he should play with. Same at national level, if he wouldn't play, drop him from the squad and state that until he changes his stance, he won't be considered for selection. Stripping Terry of the captaincy was not a just punishment for what happened, especially as the action had the most detrimental effect of all. In reality, the big loser out of the whole situation was Capello as it exposed a weakness we had not seen. He should have just stuck to his guns and said it had nothing to do with Team England.
