I'm not sure I have ever read an opinion that differed from my own as significantly as this one.
Obviously the evidence is heavily in favour of your point given Serie A's outstanding attendance ratings.
You hate the ELP because it shits all over the leagues you follow, understandable.
To Dominic: Did you see the Kimbo "fight"? That was some of the sofest shit I have ever seen. You MMA fans are pretty tolerant. A boxer loses in that kind of fashion and his rep is pretty much history. You are still talking him up!
Yeah apologies are good and all but he basically robbed Bolton of a very likely point in that match and he needs to be demoted. There is just too much at stake to allow referees to make such terrible errors and not be punished for it. I accept it can be tough and some mistakes will be made, but...
Yeah I don't think it was a dive but that was a disgraceful decision. I'm not sure I have ever seen a worse penalty awarded before. He was right on top of it as well.

Todd Carney was repeatedly warned for his conduct. Also, none of my mates have led the police on a late night high speed car chase through the city whilst intoxicated and then tried to get a mate to take the blame. That is breaking the law - something our players have not done.

I never said I "love" the behaviour. I'm 23 and have been in the same relationship for 6 years. I am just capable of looking at the bigger picture. People I know, around my age, act in a similar manner to these guys. Sure, the Broncos receive more sexual offers because of who they are but I...
The relevant cross-section is males aged between 18 and 24. If you think that the conduct of footballers in this age bracket is not roughly representative of the actions of the majority of individuals in this group you are fairly naive.
Difference of opinion then. I don't think they are sufficiently compensated for society to have the right to impose restrictions on the way they can act when outside of the boundaries of their job. You make a valid point too, this country massively over-reacts to morally questionable behaviour...
