Here’s a proposition – how’d you like to be wealthy, healthy…a sports star?
Reckon you’d owe something to the code, its rules, fans, culture?
It doesn’t always work that way in the ME,ME,ME land of “Mundine” nominations.
Here are some sports not necessarily better off for having a “shining light”.
GOLF
Tiger is viewed as pushing the boundaries of rules and etiquette – funnily enough, a trait that seems to have overflowed in to the rest of his life.
CRICKET
Murali is again here to steal Australian dollars with his spear throwing which, with gutless administration, has created a cancer in the game.
TENNIS
Serena. A bully on court and a narcissistic prima donna on TV – sometimes 1+1=2
AFL
Demetriou is hopeless for rhyming slang.
Hird.
SOCCER
Fans can often be an issue here, but Australian born Josip Simunic is an A-grade tool, now suspended by FIFA from representing his preferred Croatia in the World Cup for leading “supporters” in a pro-Nazi chant. Look it up.
RACING
In a big field, with the bar too often set disappointingly low, little Olly has limbo-ed under for an audacious smash’n’grab that was policed as a “look away now” distraction.
NRL
Oh dear. Where to start? Usually with a neck tatt, a boxing ambition, an unresolved “issue”…
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Sadly, there are plenty of easy targets. Any more to add?
Crio, whilst on racing do you imagime Father Christmas will visit Mark Vlahos ?
Glen!
Glen, Santa has been hiding Bill Vlahos’s prezzies in various tax havens around the world, but the poorbloke shouldn’t beat up on himself for the huge financial losses inflicted.
Mind you, the injuries he received down at Barwon Heads,was still more believable than the last Mundine fight
Santa traverses the world with his reindeer distributing gifts unconditionally.
hmmm….if it seems too good to be true, it probably ain’t.
Good point Cowshedend. Will Father Christmas visit ‘the man’?
Glen!
