Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2620548, member: 2221"] [b]re: [Confirmed] Russell Packer --> Panthers[/b] You could very well be right, and while he should be entitled to be rehabilitated into society, it should be in a menial anonymous job, not in a society's elite, which is what a professional NRL athlete is. This is exactly the same argument I had about Shaun Metcalf when he signed with the Warriors, after he was released from a prison stint for attempting to "abort" his unborn child, by kicking the pregnant mother repeatedly in the abdominal area. I'm also not going to get into the immensely hard debate about alcohol, and while it serves as an explanation as Huge said, it cannot and should never serve as an excuse... - Can't control your actions under the influence? Don't drink! - Can't control your habit? Go to AA meetings, get into a rehab clinic, or... drink yourself into a stupor at home, where you can only harm yourself. I am pretty fed-up with a world where the rights of the villains supersede the suffering of their victims, so my view is pretty simple really: Once you've committed such an act, you've forfeited your right to the limelight. At least until your victim and their family can live with that fact and the fact they might have to cop your face on TV, newspapers, social media, etc... I don't care whether intimidation is something we really need, it still isn't an excuse to offer this guy a contract. Let's find it somewhere else, otherwise it means we don't really care about ethics or morals, in which case, maybe Hamas has a big guy who wouldn't mind to earn some money in the NRL in between the terrorist attacks... :wink: [/QUOTE]
