This article is a wee bit over the top..
In all seriousness though, it doesn’t particularly surprise me that these NRL players continue to get into strife for ‘offences’ related to the great invention of urination. To be completely honest with you, I’m struggling to put together a decent-sized list of places/things I HAVEN’T relieved myself on when a few (hundred) beers down and am out on the town. These blokes are doing what most sane blokes do when confronted with a full bladder and the option of either wading through a puddle of knee-deep urine which seems to greet you in every nightclub bathroom across Australia from 10pm onwards, or finding a spare patch of road/gutter/wall/mouth which can easily provide the same use.
How about we focus on dealing with the bigger off-field, alcohol-related incidents such as the endless amount of assault/domestic violence cases which continue to tarnish the image of our game. Work out an effective method of preventing these incidents from occurring, as opposed to dealing with them in the ugly aftermath.
There’s really isn’t a great deal wrong with letting off the yellow (or clear, if adequately hydrated) fountain in a public place on a big night out. If caught, the perpetrator should pay the fine, then we all have a laugh together, and collectively we move on. This would give us as a sporting community more time to weed out the absurd culture that exists within our game which see’s it as acceptable to hit a woman, or anyone for that matter.
Are NRL players just taking the piss?
