Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3056269, member: 9358"] Could you imagine if Suli was ever contracted to the Broncos with one of those Maccas cards? I honestly believe he would probably would have just lived off that card and never once go to a grocery store for the entire year. Would have ended his career in about 3 months. Macca’s is a cancer of a sponsor to have for a professional sporting organisation. Whoever thought giving the professional athletes a $20 per store daily Macca’s card should be hauled over the coals. Whilst the players are well paid these days, everyone loves free stuff and if you are given the temptation of pretty much getting junk food for free, you are definitely going to get some people fall into that trap, even if it’s only a couple times a week. Especially when you hear some of stories about past ex players and their battle to avoid fast food at the best of times (Thaiday, David Taylor, etc) Now imagine being a player on a minimum NRL wage being given one of those cards. The temptation to save almost $150 a week on meals would be tempting. What could possibly go wrong? Next brainwave idea would be the club being sponsored by Dan Murphy’s and the players being given a card to grab a 6 pack per store per day. [/QUOTE]
