Message: [QUOTE="POSSE1, post: 2304989, member: 1819"] Young Israel may have also been under pressure from his Mormon Church to move to AFL... Being a mormon you are "required by Commandment of God to pay 10% of all their GROSS income to the LDS church. This includes all income - including: employment, unemployment insurance, student loans, pell grant checks, Social Security income, Medicare, foodstamps, trust funds and any other form of income, even including finding money on the ground."... So 10% of what the Broncos offered would be a lot less to his Church, than 10% of what the AFL has agreed to pay.... And there is all his sponsorship deals that would add to what the Church gets... It may be a bit of a conspiracy theory, but you never know. After reading what Darren Lockyer said today about the QLD side, I am not sure there will be a good feeling in the team with Israel there. I think if Israel does not commit fully to the task of winning games for us for the rest of the season, then Bruno should just tell him to leave, and we can take back pro-rata some of his money for the games he misses for the rest of the season, and distribute it amongst the players who want to be at the Broncos and are the talent we want to keep... I hate AFL but to think that he will get paid more than the best AFL player (whoever that is) is absolutely absurd.. But AFL is an absurd and boring game.. Almost as boring as soccer. [/QUOTE]
