The drug use and supply goes with the whole thuggery and pretend gangsters of the code.

Same arguments over and over again from Soccer fans, head it all before. Attack AFL, League, Rugby, Cricket - whatever isn't Soccer. But never addressing the issue - Soccer is boring. The majority of League, AFL, Rugby Football fans never seem to question the skill or fitness of Soccer Footballers, the only thing they ever seem to criticise (apart from the boring display the game presents on TV) is the injury faking. I get it, Soccer is big in European countries and like Cricket in poorer countries where the game has to be a game that can be played on the streets with little kit, or at the higher levels with far less risk of injury. None of that changes the fact that on TV the game is more often than not as boring as championship paint watching. Great relatively safe game for young kids to play to get them away from the PlayStation, and if they want to continue on later that is their choice. Most will tell you though they'd rather play something else.
