So that makes it ok? Its a disgusting act that should see him docked his entire salary for his whole 9 year contract and spend some time in jail. Don't try and protect him MM. The man is a criminal.

I am sorry, but I disagree. Why should someone be judged more harshly then you or I, because they are talented in a way that earns them more money than you and I?

This would imply that the more money you earn you should be a better person and ergo the less you earn, you can do whatever you like?

I also think they should be aiming to be role models, but being a role model shouldn't imply that anyone with a camera phone can become judge/jury and executioner.

Nor does an implication that we want our sports stars to be role models mean we should constantly be judging the times they fail. As a human, I would think we all fail, some more than others.

Well, it's against the law to park in a disabled spot, not for a passenger to sit in the car waiting for the driver to hurry the flower up.

So really we should be slamming the GF, not buddy. However, since buddy's a higher profile person, he's the one copping it.

For all we know he protested strongly against parking there :P

If I tried to blame Jesinta Campbell to her face, I'd probably just end up blurting out "I love you"

Is it such a bad thing that you should be more socially conscious if you have more money? Though that's not my point.

It works both ways though Syd. Players get sponsored for there skills/image, why should they, I might work just as hard and be better role model, yet even though they maybe less qualified, they are financially rewarded! I don't see the famous complaining about that part though.

Obviously a line though

SydneyRox

We are on the same wavelength Oss.

It would be nice if our sports stars, actors and celebrities were more socially conscious, but to say they should be because they are celebrities is expecting imperfect humans to be perfect.

Dont understand how this is in the entertainment section rather than the Sport section

I find it somewhat entertaining that they managed to craft a story out of this rubbish :P

The story is about both of them not just Buddy. It's not a sporting story, it's a story about "celebrities" hence the reason it is in the entertainment section.

Thank god the boo buttons gone, but in all honesty, they shouldn't of used a disable parking spot. I realise the media had nothing better to sensationalise (probs sic ) on, but them parks are for the disabled after all. I had 2 disabled parents ( both deceased ), but would of been annoyed if they missed a park because of able bodied people using them

Belieive me, I admire Buddy, so it could of been anyone.
