Hey I am curious.... over here Rugby is the equivilent to Hockey ..... they professional Rugby players get massive money and so on like the NHL.
There has been just a series of scandals here... Rugby players in trouble with overdrinking... drunk driving... allagations of Rape .... drug abuse and all sortsw of men behaving badly stuff. Everyone goes on about them being role models... but getting so much money and fame the youg bucks can't handle it and run off the rails.... poor dears!
Huge amount of drama around this... but I don't remember this being such a big issue with the NHL players... has that changed... are they embroiled in these kinds of scandals and dramas too? Been a while since I was there now so not sure if things have changed?
Basketball and Football players are the worst. One certain event here with the Minnesota Vikings would get me banned if I typed it out.
Hockey players do seem to behave a little better, but they get caught doing stupid stuff once in a while.
and Hockey players don't make near as much $cratch...
That and the fact that hockey players probably come from better off families financially to begin with, whereas basketball and football players can come from anywhere. Stephen Marbury comes to mind, ghetto kid, never would have played anything if his mother had to pay. Then becomes pro basketballer and is the scum of the earth.
I was thinking the same thing. Sad really, that kind of athlectiism and no social grace, to be a real role model.
I bet you see kids all the time with the ability, but lack the funds to play....
It's a tough road
