NRL = Men Behaving Badly

Nah, I aint down with dat.
The NRL is a badly run business, with a few idiot employees. Hell, which business doesn't have a few of them.
Plus add a society of bitch-asses who act as Nazi police in this celebrity filled world. Yes, the right-wing media. Why not let the Church run the game. I hear the Rev. Fred Nile would be an awesome CEO.
Generally if a player wants a drink or two or a one-night stand or three, then leave them be. Private lives are private lives. Players don't sell their soul once they pull on a NRL jersey. Like I said, there are a few who step over the line but they are the 1 percenters. Report on them.
The media squeeze every drop out and more out of non-stories that it actually becomes a story. Bitch-asses. That causes over-correction from teams. And what now, players are to live a monk's life?
If a player wants to possibly decrease their performance with a bit of grog or a late night, then it's up to them. It's 2009 and athletes know what-to-do and what-not-to-do, to get maximum performance.
Some players live for the game, for some others, it's just a game. Relax.
