Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2188822, member: 1764"] I'm responding to you! You said "WHEN WHEN WHEN are you people going to realize that the capacity to play good footy does not have a concommitant effect on the players mind or his capacity to reason any differently than any other person.....", which to me was saying "why do you care if they **** up, it doesn't affect their footy if they act like tards". If that were the case there would be no "court of public opinion" crucifying them, would there? There's plenty who care, and they (we) are all sick of this shit being reported. Can we ever stop the media talking about it? No. Can we get it into the thick heads of these dickhead players that they have to stop drinking (as much) publicly to avoid getting into these dramas? Probably not, but we can try. The only way to do it is to hit them where it hurts. Where is that? Is it money? Is it their wonderful free time that being an elite footballer gives them? Is it the honour of playing for an NRL club, a State of Origin team or even your country? How about that for a threat. **** up and you will never play representative football. Ever. That'd stop a few of these idiots drinking. The problem is, as Hammo has said numerous times, is that Australia's drinking culture is really to blame - across society. This is magnified for high profile people. Does that mean high profile people should be treated the same as low profile people? In the courts and justice system, yes. But publicly the clubs and the NRL have to do more to show it's not right to get yourself drunk off your tits so you act like an idiot. The culture won't change until it's no longer condoned. Far too many people seem to think there's nothing wrong with getting drunk to the point of spewing, of passing out, of not remembering what you did. How is that possible? [/QUOTE]
