Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2455324, member: 1764"] Because the NRL's business is to attract viewers, merchandise sales, ticket sales, sponsors. If you have a number of visual representatives of your business that turn the average person off that particular person, their club, it may also turn them off having an interest in the NRL. For rusted on League fans, it won't make any real difference. Where it will have an impact is casual fans and, worse, casual fans who are parents who may then discourage their kids from watching the sport, let alone participating. You can argue all you like that only prudes and softcocks would be put off by a few badly behaved boys but all it takes is one family to turn away from league, and a potential Darren Lockyer might be lost to another sport. A once in a lifetime player. Have enough incidents or incidents serious enough and you just have to look at Alan Jones and all his sponsors deserting him. It's too simplistic to just accept it as part of what stupid, young, drunk, (did I mention stupid?) men do. [/QUOTE]
