[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 731591, member: 12207"] You realise that SMH link was regarding essentially a debate topic, right? But if we're posting links aimed at generating broad and poorly supported generalisations, then: [url]http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/rugby-world-cup-2011/rwc-chief-executive-martin-snedden-describes-new-zealands-treatment-of-australian-fans-as-disappointing/story-e6frf4zl-1226143633822[/url] In any case, the fact that you've failed to address my points about the many decent blokes in Australian sport kinda demonstrates how motived by spite and prejudice your comments are. Sure, there are drunk morons in the NRL, but there are drunk morons in the EPL, NBA, NFL, and even your beloved NPC.
