i did. i commented on it twice.
are people actually outraged by this? like...really?
Many outraged it seems.
Not me. Don't see why awards should go to admitted drug cheats. Like someone else commented on TV, we are quick to condemn Chinese swimmers etc. Do you think we would believe they believed the drugs they took were legal?
The so called media agenda against the Sharks is garbage too. Just a Footy story. No one outside NSW and QLD Footy fans care less. Even Victorians mainly bothered about Essendon. People here don't care about Essendon either. Maybe the Courier Mail looks after the Broncos but we stuffed up whatever way you look at it. If the authorities were so Anti Cronulla , Flanno would not be allowed back.
I cant see Carney keeping his job anywhere in the Western Sports World with his bubbling either. The LA Clippers boss forced to sell cos of his racist comments. He is a billionaire.
My take is we were dumb and got off lightly. Culture is different between swimmers and Footy players. But even Hindy said Eels players were regularly earned by ASADA about drugs etc in team meetings etc
So in today's PC World, we expect to take drugs, get light sentences and Journos not to comment. If they do it is an Anti Sharks conspiracy.
Being honest, the board and staff have done more to damage the club than Journos. Some of our recent recruits are beyond performance enhancing to a decent level.
We could have used this ASADA crap to start from scratch and build from the bottom. But no, we extend the coach and bring back others stood down. I wish I could have had a 12 month holiday and come back to a 3 Year extension.
Who on here would bet against Gall retiring then suing us? The lawsuits are worrying. Club already admitted they done wrong. Players banned. Will be a matter of how much we pay out. Isaac Gordon will claim he was the new Greg Inglis. 10 Lawsuits at 300k is 3 Million. You think this is over? 300k is conservative.
