Re: GWS Recruiting Assistant Suspended.
To me this is a cop out on a couple of levels but I understand we are coming at this from very different positions.
To make the issue a bit clearer, there is nothing to suggest that Paul Brodie cheated but he broke the rules the AFL have in place that pertain to being in the industry and betting on games and he has paid a substantial price for his stupid act. Despite the education he has received constantly and because he failed to listen to those warnings he has been suspended for 13 months.
As a comparison, despite being told time and time again and receiving more education than nearly all other people in society have access to which informs players that if you want to be in the AFL then you can't take illicit drugs, players can ignore that advice and be given a level of unparalleled leniency before a penalty potentially bites them in the arse to the same manner it has with a guy who put a $10 bet on.
From my perspective, there should be little too no level of leniency in either act but I find it irresponsible that the players get a lot more leniency if they take illicit drugs than a recruiter does if he puts a bet on.
