Rugby Players

In a new poll I found at http://www.leaguehq.com.au/, only 53% of rugby players in the NRL would play in a league that banned alcohol. I find this interesting and outrageously ironic. For those of you who don't know, the rugby house in Brookings where most of SDSU's players live, hosts some of the biggest parties in campus. They are extremely well known for the amount of times they have been busted.

Aren't pro sports players supposed to set a good example for today's youth? Well, I guess these players would just call it quits if they were forced to give up the bottle. Granted, it would be almost impossible to enforce this rule, but the fact that they wouldn't even give it a shot is amazing.

I think it's important that these players, who kids want to grow up and be just like, remember that they are a public figure and kids are watching. If your going to hit the bottle, keep it to yourself, but don't publicly announce that you wouldn't play in a league without it.

Rugby players ... maybe they drink so much so that they cant feel the pain of playing a contact sport with no padding on. Interesting.
