animals
Posted by Lucy | Under mindless pap Wednesday Sep 21, 2011Another Australian footballer has been charged with assaulting his partner. For the second time
I especially like how he did exactly the same thing last season when his team didn’t make the finals. Except his partner was pregnant that time.
Charming man.
It doesn’t seem to matter which football code it is it’s a rare month when a player isn’t involved in a scandal relating to sex or violence.
Let me just say this upfront and whole heartedly – these men are disgusting excuses for human beings, their attitudes and behaviour is abhorrent.
With that said these men are trained, supported and encouraged to be aggressive, violent, physically strong and full of testosterone on the field by families, friends, team-mates, sporting clubs and coaches.
And people are surprised when they act like this off the field?
Colour me fucking stunned.
If you create an animal, hell, you reward him for this type of behaviour what do you expect?
The thing that fucks me off is that Australia is never going to change their attitude towards footballers, they’ll never stop creating these men.
There are simply too many supporters who are willing to excuse disgusting behaviour off the field of the players provide results on the field. It’s the “boys will be boys” excuses followers give, the “she was asking for it” attitude when it’s a sexual scandal.
I’m not even going to start on the men themselves, I don’t have enough swear words to go there.
Sorry for the rant, I’m just disgusted at yet another one of these stories and even more furious that there’ll be another story next week/month.
I agree.Up here in the States we overpay them, all atheletes, over indulge them and imbue them with an attitude that they are above all law, all common decency, and all moral codes. Why? Because they willl fight harder, get meaner, and put more paying customers in the stands. Our concept of “role models” is totally screwed up, but where are the real role models? Just being good people doing good things, and humble enough to know they are good and not have to “prove” theeir power.
I have more respect for the Aussie girl that solo’d around the world at 16 than 99% of the socalled “atheletes” in the world.
