James Manson Week: Concerns About The AFL
James Manson talks about some concerns he has for football:
"My concerns in regards to football at the moment are that if people are so concerned about the AFL's drug policy then they should also be willing to undergo drug testing at their places of employment themselves. I think the AFL's main concern is rehabilitation of any player stupid enough to become involved in illegal activity. This is definitely the way to go. Why should AFL players be treated any differently to the rest of the employed population.
"I also am concerned about the media scrutiny that is so much a part of a current AFL footballers life. AFL football is a general reflection of life as a whole and as in all walks of life, there are many and varied personalities that make up the ranks of AFL footballers. Some are positive people, some are not. This is just a fact of life. There are bad egg policemen, politicians, councillors, solicitors and I see AFL players being no different. It is selling our children short if their major role models are sportspeople."
