The Changing Nature of Violence in Rugby League and AFL

[TLPG]

You are pathetic. I hope you aren't a father, because you would be a massive failure at it.

[King-Eliagh]

You think i'd be capable of eating children too LG?

With your inferior skills Gotta love the iron man.

Probably. You're that much of a fool I wouldn't put it past you to try......

[King-Eliagh]

Rightio so at this point I'm:

1. A supporter of all forms of violence, including king hits and the stuff that happened in QLD recently after the RL GF.
2. Someone who wont protect children
3. A bad father
and
4. Someone who would "probably" try and eat your children.

Some of your best LG, some of your best

Stop trying to make me into a helen lovejoy scaredy pants like yourself Xman. You go onto the field playing a violent sport there's a chance you might die. But lets not overdo this, this rarely happens and its much more likely you'll die in a car crash or by bee sting.

Stop your fear mongering Xman. And stop reading those trashy news limited articles, they're skewing your perception and perspective all over the shop.

It is important to allow people their god given right to retaliate if someone bites them on the testicle. Personally, if I was bitten on the field playing RL, I'd be happy in the fact the judiciary would look leneintly on whatever reaction I chose...which would most likely be 3 swift knees to the head. Yes RL has it right on the adjudication of on field violence folks. Dont let Xman's fear mongering make you think any different.

The articles describe are backed by Members of the medical profession you twerp. the Simple fact is violence like this is unnecessary and not part of the sport so there is no point in allowing this sort of violence which has the potential risk of injury or death.

[King-Eliagh]

Well then you'd best support something else then because there's much more chance dying on the AFL field during normal play than from a rare bit of biff.

And please, give it up with your "medical profession" shmack. Clearly you have mistaken their context you silly dummy. Otherwise we'd have seen atleast 100 deaths in the NRL over the past few decades.

Cmon KE monkey see monkey do.Dont know if you go out much but I still like to get a bit messy.Its a different world out there.I have 2 younger brothers and the level of violence that pervades their world is shocking even for an old lout like me.I truly understand where you are coming from and many people deserve a whack in the left listener.But unfortunately it is time for dinosaurs like myself to admit that we have led our youth down the wrong path.If we can use footballers as role models against violence then I think we should.And if they can get the message across that whacking people is bad then im sure our emergency rooms will be a lot emptier on a saturday night.

The thing is KE, the collisions in ARs and NRL are Part of the game. The sport has unavoidable risk already. Why add to that risk with unnecessary Violence? Why allow people's sporting heroes to behave violently giving very poor examples of behaviour to impressionable youth? That RL coach on roar was correct. They are trying to show young people that violence and fighting is poor behaviour while the NRL undoes all this work by permitting their heroes to do it with little to no punishment.

[King-Eliagh]

Yes pookus I agree...except if some bastard bites your testicles. Then I believe we should accept if someone would like to whack them on the head. How difficult is this to understand?

Eating children should be off limits also.

That's right, unecessary violence shouldnt be condoned. But if someone bites your testicles then biffo should be permitted with the instigator copping all the punishment and the biffer being let off scot free. The NRL have it right, the AFL have it wrong.

You happy now LG? Surely you agree with my point of view here?

So if some huge mug was sitting on your sons head and he decided the only way to get out was to bite the nearest genitalia near by, are you condoning that the guy punch your son and potentially kill him?

Rightio so at this point I'm:

1. A supporter of all forms of violence, including king hits and the stuff that happened in QLD recently after the RL GF.

Some of your best LG, some of your best

And at present all true. "That's right, unecessary violence shouldnt be condoned" is a flagrant lie on your part. Admit that you are in the wrong and accept that violence has no part on the sporting field and only belongs in the boxing ring or in the UFC ring. Nowhere else.

[King-Eliagh]

You MArngrookers are into the testicle biting thing arent yas!? btw i love the side references to my son.

Ok I'd expect my son to use other means to getting some big mug off him, as I would. And in RL you'd find that if some fat mug is sitting on someones head for too long, their team mates will soon push said fat mug off. And if said fat mug was too difficult to push and decided not to get off I'd condone a good bit o' biff until said fat mug gets off. So in essence the rules in RL ensure said fat mug could never sit on and suffocate to death some poor lil scrawny guy. In MArngrook however a big fat mug could quite happily sit on a scrawny players head and suffocate him to death with his fat arms crossed while the ump blows and blows his whistle and the players around him daren't snot him in the noggin for fear of missing an entire season.

Violence? Sometimes its necessary and not bad :D
