[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 731600, member: 12207"] I'm not defending the bad ones, just pointing out there's plenty of good ones - in fact more good than bad by a fair margin - and that NZ has its fair share of muppets too. You can't have it both ways mate - you can't claim our "culture" is responsible for the bad people but not the many good ones. As I said, what's your explanation for guys like Bennet, Daley, JT, Pocock, Izzy etc. Moreover in the AFL the award for the best player is the "best and fairest" award, which essentially precludes the d##kheads. From a cultural standpoint that's actively fostering good sportsmanship. Finally, what's your response to the attitude of Kiwi fans and their behavior toward traveling Aussies? What does that say about NZ sports culture? No offence Kiwi, but blaming the victim is pretty poor form. Fact is Mils got himself in that situation and that's all we know right now. Bad decision on his part even to get to this, but let's not go down the path of trying to defend sexual assault on the basis that "he's a good guy" and "girls can be manipulative." [/QUOTE]
