Thread: Hunter convicted

nothing like a simple emotive response aye..

if you think about a proportional penalty for the seriousness of the offending... maybe a promising rugby player would be paying a bigger price to have the same penalty as a no name? Maybe the attention and reputational loss is a penalty that a no name does pay at all? Maybe it's not about getting away with anything?

So just maybe that attitude just smacks of envy without thought? I mean you don't buy the role model bullshit do you?

If you wreck the guys career options, is he more or less likely to be a future problem? - have a wee think about that.. if we spank them without consideration to these sort of issues, whose fault is it if they completely derail and create future havoc?

People with a lot more to lose should behave better you might think, but think about the people involved in physical, confrontational, competitive sport - these people were the warriors, the hunters, the fighters in a less plastic reality. Its no surprise they pop outside the bubble every so often.

Maybe its better to put them back into it while their testosterone is running rampant rather than to try and extract a pound of flesh just to make you feel better..?

Maybe judges know more about this stuff than you do?
