People are basically asking them to alter their lifestyle significantly because they are in the public eye. In my opinion, compared to other high profile individuals, the majority of rugby league players are not paid enough to ask them to do this.
I would accept all the bullshit about acting like role models when out in public if these players were paid accordingly for the inconvenience. The truth is compared to other participants in the sporting market many of these players are criminally underpaid. Is it any wonder that player loyalty...
Yeah, anyone who refuses to applaud the players in question when their names come up shouldn't go to the game. The club does not need pathetic fans such as these.
Agreed. She was basically ashamed of herself so decided to take her own frustrations out on 3 individuals that did not deserve to have their names tarnished in this fashion.
If the complaint dropped that is good news and the issue should be put aside.
It is just a shame that an anonymous member of the public can drag out players' names through the dirt by coming out with this garbage.
That's my point then. It is not reasonable to expect the players to consider a female's state of mind before going ahead with the act. This sort of notion is just representative of the ridiculous expectations that some people in here are placing on the players.
The issue is simply whether a young male considers the mental state of a female when offered sex. That is the statement I was responding to. All of the issues you listed above are completely separate and unrelated to this topic. Answer me this question: Do you think that the average young male...
It has nothing to do with myself or my mother's opinion of me. Do you not understand that when young men are offered sexual intercourse with a female they find attractive they do not consider the current mental state of the individual? This really is basic common sense stuff. I challenge anyone...
That's not the point. You, and several others, are placing unreasonable expectations on these guys. Do you seriously expect a group of young, single males to consider a female's state of mind when offered sex. That notion is completely ridiculous.
Agree with most of what Hammo said. It doesn't appear at this stage as though criminal charges will be laid and therefore no action is necessary against the players.
Can't believe some ppl are still calling for sackings and players to be stood down. Ridiculously over-sensitive.
People on here are just massively over-sensitive to this kind of thing. I doubt the reaction from the general population of Broncos fans will be as severe.
I'm not saying you have to sugar-coat it, but to go to the game and boo a player who has given 100% for the Broncos for years every time he has played and helped us win a premiership because you don't agree with something he has allegedly been involved in is a dead set dog act.
The way some...
I agree Beachy it is disgraceful. Going out and hitting it all day a week prior to the biggest game of the season and engaging in this conduct is disgraceful, but is it worthy of sackings?
I just think people need to take a step back here. This is two of our best young players we are talking...
I still think people are over-reacting. This is young blokes hitting the piss and acting like idiots. Based on current information I think sackings would be exceptionally harsh.
