Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2911881, member: 2290"] My issue isn’t with the individual, it’s the hypocrisy of the company. If his employer is a company that markets itself as having a strict moral code (e.g the NRL’s deadly choices promotion, women in league, anti-domestic violence stance, and the way they will often strongly renounce antisocial behaviour), then I think that an individual who goes against those morals should not be employed by them, and that they should be consistent across the board instead of giving preference to the more talented individuals. Like I said in my earlier posts, I have no issue with him playing because to me it’s pretty irrelevant what a player does, and I’m in no place to judge him to severely myself. I do however think that his employment (and players with similar offences) in the broncos organisation, and the nrl does not meet the moral standards that they have proclaim to have. On top of that, a computer programmer isn’t in the public eye. I can’t speak for anyone but myself but if Russel Packer has assualted me to the floor than stomped my head, I would feel quite a high level of discomfort seeing him live out a pristigious career on television. Though another hypothetical that is similar to yours, and to sportsmen with poor behaviour is, do you think Kevin Spacy should continue to get work in Hollywood? [/QUOTE]
