Message: [QUOTE="nopatience101, post: 2501800, member: 1755"] There is a reason its called professional sport, and along with the money comes the expectation that the players act professionally. It has nothing to do with being considered, rightly or wrongly, role models, its about the capacity as adults to function at a standard required by a professional organisation. That capacity is not beyond 20-something-year-olds, if it were there would be a lot more of them unemployed. Your right though there is a double standard, if anyone employed by the NRL administration was charged with sexual assault or with throwing street signs through car windows they wouldn't be suspended or fined they would be sacked for failing to meet acceptable standards of behaviour expected by a professional organisation, and they don't have nearly as much to lose as professional athletes earning upwards of a million dollars annually.
