Rugby League...again!
Is it just me or does everyone feel sick to the stomach about the latest Rugby League scandal?
Last week’s "Mad Monday" celebrations officially started on Sunday for West Tigers players after their last game of the season, but ended 16 hours later with a woman complaining to police of sexual assault.
A 26-year-old woman has told police she woke up at a party that she had attended with a group of players and others, to find her underwear rearranged and her clothing dishevelled.
The woman, went straight to Paramatta Police Station and claimed she was the victim of a date rape drug.
From that, like every reasonable person, I could conclude innocent until proven guilty…that was until I read this quote in the newspaper.
A Wests Tigers player said the woman came "quite willingly" to the party and (in his words) he thought it was "all systems go".
That truly makes me sick to the stomach. Since when was an unconcious girl signalling ‘all systems go’? Since when did just agreeing to go to a party mean you were thumbs up for any depraved, arrogant, disrespectful jerk in a football jumper.
Mr ‘all systems go’ has also told the media his teammates are shattered at the complaint and it had ended the year on a sour note. Unbelievable.
The chief executive of the National Rugby League, David Gallop, said the allegations were "clearly a major concern" but they were a matter for the police.
But what about the coach…Mr Noyce is quoted as saying "We are not aware at this stage of any specific allegation against a Wests Tigers player, and the club is very keen to work with the police to establish what may or may not have taken place."
Do you know what that says to me? 'If the girl can’t specifically name the players…we won’t be asking them to come forward.’
Another cover up for dangerous thugs who apparently believe that they can take and have whatever they want because they play rugby league.
I don’t want to keep having these conversations with my kids. I don’t want to be left with the image of some poor girl crawling out of a bedroom and pulling herself together just enough to get to the police station…while the party continued by the way…the boys were still raging when the police arrived.
I just want someone to tell these idiots ‘enough’.
