Yes, that's what I said. Divisive. By no means true that he is widely considered a scumbag, since a vast number of Argies idolize him as a person.
Remember that's the argument I'm responding to, that outside the soccer field Maradona's legacy is that of a scumbag. That's simply untrue.
Sports wise, he was a genius.
As a person? He was a total asshole.
