I don't mind watching a game of Australian Rules Football (AFL) when it is on the telly and certainly like watching it when my team plays but tonight (and the past few weeks) the coverage has irritated me like nothing else. Why? Wayne Carey.
For the American's that watch this blog a little bit of an explanation is required. Wayne Carey used to be centre half forward (and full forward sometimes) for North Melbourne in the late 90's. There is no secret that he was a great player in his time and he was known as the King. Toward the end of his career he was in a massive scandal as he was caught having sex with his best mates wife (I believe he was married at the time also), he moved to Adelaide but pretty much gave up the game at that time.
He was also arrested and plead guilty to indecent assault for grabbing a girls breast on the street and telling her to "get a bigger set of tits". He was known to involve himself with known mob bosses and then when holidaying with his wife in Las Vegas he was caught on a misdemeanor for belting up his wife.
After that he then left his wife six weeks before his daughter was born to move in with another woman who then had him charged for domestic abuse. Later on he then glassed (with a broken glass cut his girlfriend) the same woman and a year later admitted that he had been for a long time addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
So we have a drug addicted alcoholic, woman abuser who the commentary team believe it is OK to have making expert advice. I am sorry, but this guy should never be given spotlight ever unless of course it is to show what sort of craven loser he is. It makes me sick every second of air time they give him and the network should immediately cancel his contract and let him go back to whatever gutter he crawled from.
What an asshole. It is OK to give second chances but this guy has had more chances than a cat that likes to chase tyres. And what sort of message does this send young men? It is OK to beat up your girlfriend, take drugs and grope girls whenever you want if you play sports. You will still be a success. When will the sporting community finally realise how this looks to the community. This man is forever tainted and should not be given opportunities like this. Get rid of him. That is what it looks like from my window anyway.
