He knocked him out cold. You could do time for doing that in the street!
The aussie obsession with win at all costs in sport is one pretty ugly side to Aus.
Parents at junior matches threatening and abusing other players... juniors!!!
Junior referees at junior games being threatened and chased off the field by enraged parents.
It isn't rare I lived right outside a sports field until recently and sometimes heard the lower end of it.
Now I swear "like a nun with VD" but I wouldn't do it to 8-10 year olds? Well not over a sports game anyway.
To be honest its all to cock here with their so called sporting hero worship. I couldn't care less which sportsmen snort coccaine, drink to excess or whatever in their private lives but where's the sense in life bans for private drug addiction (non-performance enhancing) and a slap on the wrist for unbridled violence on the field????
Crack smoking stupid if you ask me????
