Biggest problem with social media is the average person on the street thinks they are experts on everything and suddenly have a platform for showcasing their "expertise".
You know what Flopagun, for change I agree with you even thought I got dragged into this ugly drama purely out of frustration by the bad reporting from the Daily Tellacrap, I agree as supporters we should show more responsibility !
Yep.... people need to imagine they had a loved one who was in the public eye and suffering from legit mental health issues... and that they had a plethora of keyboard doctors casting judgment on their character.
Yeah there’s some things that align with NRL & other pro sports training to that of military, where they put them through things that on the surface are demeaning and cruel, but are intended to form mental strength and bonds etc. I don’t care for it but understand the theory of it. All I would say is don’t sign up for professional spirt if you’re not up for this sort of thing.
I thought benji may turn them around, maybe in the next year or so, but not looking that way yet.
Completely lacking any morality. Hypocritical prices the lot of them!!
I’m sure some people are doing just that, but I think most are actually talking about the specific incident that supposedly happened and the assumption that said player has brought it to media attention. They should refrain from that sort of commentary though, until we know the facts.
As if this forum is responsible for how the player is feeling. The media have unearthed this shit and sensationalised for a story welcome to the real world.
We dont even know if the "threatening legal action" is correct.
Hear hear.
...and the fact that someone would use the laugh emoji on your post says it all.
So true. The majority couldn't give a shit about anyone but themselves.
I am astonished that so many Bulldogs fans are just so prepared to jump in and believe DT, Fox, Crawlie, Buzzard etc as gospel truth tellers against the club.
So your post is basically victim blaming. You try and tread lightly but you're still victim blaming. People can't help themselves because years of mental health stigma has conditioned them to act as if it doesn't exist or hide it from whoever. It's seen as a weakness that must be hidden at all costs.
If a player becomes mentally unwell because he was forced to wrestle multiple players then i think the NRL is not for him. NRL Players as part of their job description are required to push themselves physically and mentally further than the average bloke on the street. Its why the get and deserve to be paid so much. Being forced to wrestle players as a punishment is common AF across the NRL. A player standing down because of mental illness and shit being leaked to the media is rare.
End of the day, someone form the bulldogs has gone to the media. Its pretty easy to piece together who it is
I know I wouldn't trust one word that came out of Phil Goulds mouth.
Totally agree with u. Everyone right or wrongly have there own mental health issues to deal with. Who are we to judge
Or the current coach has missed the mark.
