Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2085138, member: 1764"] Fair enough, but he's not robinson crusoe there. The "story" they've made of Stephanie Rice's pics from some costume party is ridiculous, and Swimming Australia's overreaction only makes it worse. MB: how can anyone feel pride for someone who goes out on the drink and smashes a bloke's face, whether provoked or not? I certainly wouldn't feel proud of him should he win gold. I'd wonder what sort of standards we set as a nation to let someone who can behave like that represent it. I'm just being consistent, I feel the same way about the behaviour of any individual. I believe mistakes happen, and you should be able to be rehabilitated and contribute to society, but certain privileges should be lost. Such as representing your nation in the sporting arena etc. There's just a disgraceful mentality in this (and other) countries that we aren't accountable for our own actions, and we should still be able to do whatever we want.
