When footballers run wild

I realise I have been starting a lot of topics lately - my apologies but this Didak business coupled with the Cousins business has really ticked me off. Didak should have been punished, I agree with Caroline Wilsons article this morning when she said 'Apparently, being a drunken moron removes any community responsibility.' I am starting to become embarassed with the goings on of AFL players and its not a nice feeling. I am sick of tired of them escaping punishment, they earn the title & respect of been at an elite level of their game for only a few years of their lives, the least they could do is act the part or suffer the consequences of doing the wrong thing as their are many young guys ready and willing to take their place.

Clubs such as Collingwood & West Coast are setting a bad example by not appropriately punishing their players. A man is dead, I am not sure whether or not Didak is to blame for that but he should not be let off without punishment. Whether or not they like it footballers are role models for youngsters and what sort of message are we sending? Get drunk its a great excuse, get a drug problem go to rehab problem fixed? They earn enough money to bear the burden of being role models and if they dont like it then go play VFL
