GOOD MAN
i share your firm view.
here a couple of things.
- role models should come from mum & dad. not Ben Cousins.
- kids don't read papers or watch news. they read comics and watch the Simpsons.
- kids are more interested in emulating their footy heroes by taking speccies and learning new goal celebrations. not taking drugs. not p*ssing on walls. not doing 125km per/hour in a 60-zone.
- footballers are paid to play football. not be role models.
- footballers are human beings. not robots. why expect any differently to dentists, accountants, lawyers, builders, etc?
