Another Facebook Divorce – Football Fans Fake A Fling

Facebook helps hasten the end of another relationship. Okay, it’s not Facebook’s fault exactly but it was used a sort of shield in the situation.

While vacationing in Cancun, Stuart Slann, a resident of South Yorkshire, England, and loyal fan of the Manchester United football team, angered fans of a rival team. The men retaliated by throwing him into a swimming pool. During this altercation, Slann broke both an ankle and his rib.

After returning home, the ankle-breakers concocted an elaborate hoax wherein Stuart was enticed to drive 500 miles to meet a fictional woman named, “Emma,” that he met through Facebook for a sexual tryst. Before the meeting arrangement, Stuart and “Emma” communicated via text message and Facebook.

Slann found out, after a lengthy wait and a ridiculous photo, that the same men who threw him in the Cancun pool where in fact “Emma,” after a phone call to “her” cell was answered by one of the men. The scam led to Slann’s eventual divorce.

Here’s what he had to say about the situation:

Stuart Slann, father of one, has since been divorced by his wife Louise, 34, after she found out about the intended affair.

Stuart responded by saying, “There’s no doubt I’ve been done good and proper by the lads from Liverpool… It was cruel, but I’ll hold my hands up and say they really wound me up.”

All this over football? The broken ankle and rib were not enough? Something is wrong with all of these men, in my opinion.

(And I still think Facebook is too darn cumbersome to use.)
