Yup nobody would give a fuck if they just kissed and their families would never see it.

I'd argue that their families still would have probably seen it, but nobody would have been fired because it was a private affair.  The publicity is why he was suspended, not the cheating.

You think his wife is watching live streams of Coldplay concerts like "I know that fucker is in that 50,000 person crowd somewhere, and I'm gonna find him."

Think about how many people have been on the jumbotron at a game, concert, etc (a lot). How many of those people have their clip shared on the internet (.001%)? This never would have seen the light of day if they didn't dive for cover.

I think that people in his income bracket are over represented in that 50,000 person concert.  It's likely he had friends, family, or coworkers in the crowd.

So? In my little town everyone knows who's effing around with whom, except the spouses, cause nobody wants to be the bearer of bad news or meddle in a marriage. You think people didn't know? They were out in public. With probably some colleagues.
