I agree on that point.
It's society's issue. The drugs, the booze, the promiscuity. It's not the leaguies. It's you, me, your alcoholic brother-in-law, the girl down the road who sleeps with footy players to get attention because her parents didnt give her enough. It's your mate who starts fights in bars once he's had a few, it's the high-profile lawyer who copes with the stress by getting high on Class A drugs every weekend. It's in your families, at your workplace, and in your communities.
The real faces of these problems in Australia are anonymous. Yet RL players get crucified, now even for the most trivial of matters. Buster Seymour leaving a pub drunk? Big Willie having 2 beers in his own house?
Yet it is Rugby League, as a sport, that takes the blame for things that we all should be taking ownership of.
