Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2472543, member: 1950"] [b]Re: Ben Barba stood down[/b] Since we're all speculating about what caused his suspension, probably a multitude of minor infringements, coming to training boozed, serious gambling debts, blow up with Hasler; which might have all spawned from his break up with the ex-girlfriend, or none. Straight out accusing him of domestic violence and then slandering his character without any evidence (and just because you put an "if he did this..." in front of it, doesn't change a thing) is pretty shitty, even for BHQ. Sure, that's life, most young people have probably been through relationship dust ups in before and have handled it with more or less dignity. Give the guy a break until you know the facts. Stop supporting the ideology of Australian sporting stars as role models if they are a continuous dissappointment to you and your values and the values you want for your children and society. They're no different to movie stars, TV stars - they're there for our entertainment. Think about the "jocks" from your school days. Usually the worst behaved, most misogynist, first to drink and take drugs, least likely to do anything but train hard and succeed in sport. From this crop comes our "sporting stars" which you expect to mirror our society's values. Good luck with that. [/QUOTE]
