It's a load of s**t. For the woman behind that 4C story (forget her name) to come out and point the finger at the NRL for asking "Why pick on us?" instead of "What are we doing wrong?" is an absolute cop-out.
Time and time again the media drags the name of our code through the mud and portrays to the general public that if you are a Rugby League player then you are a rapist, a thug and a borderline alcoholic and you are only 1 Daily Telegraph front page away from having your contract torn-up and turning another generation away from the game. Honestly, it's like a motorist being told he is unreasonable for asking why a cop pulls him up and suspends his licence for doing 115 km/h in a 110 zone, when the cop turned a blind eye to 3 other drivers right in front who were doing 125, 140 and 150 respectively. Sure you might have a case that the guy doing 115 should clean up his act, but to throw the book at him while letting the other drivers off scott free for worse offences?
Meanwhile, incidents just as bad happen in the AFL just as frequently, but it gets swept under the carpet time and time again because "AFL players are such great role models to the community" blah blah f**king blah. There are plenty of incidences from Football (soccer) and Rugby Union too, but no, let's just continue to sink the boot into Rugby League because they are the only code that doesn't know how to treat women, sexist bunch of pigs that they are.
FMD this happened 7 years ago and no charges were pressed. The only issue at hand was that between Matty Johns and his immediate family, and by all reports that had been resolved. But no, now we must portray someone who consented to sex with some NRL stars as "the victim" and yet again portray rape, alcohol abuse etc. as something that only happens in Rugby League, because that is the agenda and nobody is allowed to question this agenda without being labelled a neanderthal or a misogynist.
FMD!
