[QUOTE="ruggerbugger, post: 731501, member: 72816"] Kygrios has always been like that - you can't just cherry pick based on a television clip here and there. He's barely 20 years old. I'm sure we've all said and done some disrespectful and crazy stuff when we were that age. New Zealand has it's share of morons too. Each country approaches sport in different ways. Do I agree with how the Aussies always do it? Nah. But I don't think summing up an entire sporting culture based on a few is warranted either. I think the Aussie cricketers go way too far, but I also think the amount of crying our media does goes way too far as well. Those memes surfacing the internet on how we're so high and mighty (see Grant Elliot helping a South African up, and Brad Haddin spouting something out after a wicket had fallen) was kinda sickening. It's like a little brother always having to be right, or better. Constantly tugging on Mummy's apron to convince her we're so much more amazing, or maybe we're trying to convince ourselves. It's humiliating and embarrassing. [/QUOTE]
