Standing down de Belin is the least rugby league needs to do, writes Peter_Fitz
Before we do, however, please just give me a coupla minutes. I appear here for Common Sense, Sweet Reason and The People.Credit:As you know, since Mr Beattie first put up the idea of suspending those players charged with criminal offences until such times as the legal process is concluded, it has attracted an enormous amount of debate in the rugby league community as well as the general populace.
Who wants to be associated with that? Who wants to pay money to watch it, put their own name next to an ever more toxic "brand"?just keep going on the way we have been. You want to talk "business" as usual?If only we could lock in some of the business of times gone by, with great ticket sales, sponsorships and ratings.
Who wants to be associated with that? Who wants to pay money to watch it, put their own name next to an ever more toxic "brand", if you will?So, from purely a business sense, we need to hold accountable all those players who are trashing our reputation.
Voting for Peter Beattie’s simple proposal is a bare beginning to changing that culture, but a beginning it is. And we have no choice.
