Not saying the boys did nothing wrong, but it was more stupid than criminal. And with the sponsor, it wouldnt shock me to death that the restaurant chain has been feeling the pinch a bit recently with corona virus reducing customers, and jumped at a chance to back out.
Hard to explain why Souths for example, who had a player send penis pics to random females (when married) didnt lose any sponsorship, and they didnt get a big fine from the NRL. We get massive fines for a bare ass at a private function in a back street, and lose a sponsor over legal consensual sex. Not saying either thing was a good look, but when it involves the bulldogs, it usually gets blown right up, and when its another club, under the rug it goes.
