Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2503603, member: 1764"] Absolutely. But Rugby League makes a lot of money off alcohol advertising from companies trying to get their product in as part of that binging culture. So Rugby League (and other professional sports) are a significant part of the problem. So yes, it is a bit rich when we then chastise players for partaking in the sponsors product and getting shitfaced and badly behaved. Alcohol abuse is probably the biggest social and health crisis of the next generation and it needs to be addressed. We dealt with smoking by banning all manner of advertising and sponsorship. Whether we need to go that far with alcohol I don't know, but there has to be some separation of the game and the drinking culture. Ditto gambling. [/QUOTE]
