Yes, it is a worrying trend. And not just by footballers. There is an easy answer to work out whether it should be "I" or "me". Say the sentence removing the other person's name ... e.g If it's "Abercrombie & I" just repeat the sentence deleting "Abercrombie &" ... Same with "Abercrombie & me". Try it ... https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/style-and-usage/when-to-use-i-or-me-in-a-sentence.html

CHANGES: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
I know he's not currently in the mix, but if BBB remains injured and Weid doesn't improve I suspect the powers that be will seriously look at Joel Smith as a forward option. If nothing else he has a 'red hot go' and would at least make more of a contest than BBB and Weid. Also, his brain fades would be less damaging on the forward line than the back line.

She constantly used double negatives which gave her comments the opposite meaning to what was intended. Double negatives are used in many songs ... "I ain't got no satisfaction". Which means the singer (Sir Mick) has indeed attained some degree of satisfaction. Should be "I don't have any satisfaction". Another example is Kiki Dee's (lol ... Dee) song I've got the Music in Me which starts "Ain't got no trouble in my life". Which literally means that she (unhappily) had trouble in her life because her status was not of a person with no trouble in her life. The following lyrics suggest that the opposite meaning was intended. I also hate "I seen the Demons play on Friday night". FFS. I'm just warming up.- Demonstone's and Flaubert's English Grammar for Demonlanders 101
The "everythink' woman also said (and presumably still says) "youse" and was (and presumably remains) a frequent "double negative" user.- Demonstone's and Flaubert's English Grammar for Demonlanders 101
