PT you have obviously seen Lorenzo and obviously so has the rest of the NRL.

I think the fact that there are women out there that deliberately try to start something negative towards football players is not on.
What Everett and Kennelly want to do is paint this current situation with a sort of common brush and make out that all women who associate with footballers are inherantly irresponsible or themselves the 'predators' ala Palavi.
Why are footballers any different from anyone else?
A young girl should not feel that she has given up her right to say no because of the fact that she is associating with footballers as opposed to any other young group of males and to suggest otherwise is really quite scary.
Wether you are a footballer or not, hitting on a guy, getting drunk etc, goin home with him, spells adult fun, not a game of scrabble...
Now, i have 2 daughters, don't think for one minute im saying that if a girls says no, it means no.... Im just saying, dont put yourself out there in a poor situation that you have lead on.
Girls, flock, get drunk with them, lead them on, then whinge when they get hurt etc. They know they are here for fun only, they go all over differant ports and do the same. Why whinge... Sympathy 0
Again, i state, no means no.... its the situation you lead on.
Regardless of alcohol, regardless of the time of night, regardless of where your at, there is a line that is never excusable to cross.
Young women have exactly the same rights as young men, to go out drinking, flirt, make-out or whatever and it shouldn't be assumed at any point that any of the aforementioned activities automatically means that sex is going to ensue.
How often do you hear about rock stars and other celebrity figures getting rape accusations made against them and this type of adoration is probably more prevalent with them than it is footballers. Being a footballer is not a license to be a dickhead.
We've all done things we're ashamed of and sometimes there are fairly unpleasant consequences. It just seems that whenever an incident involving a girl and a footballer takes place, the various interest groups all scream the house down about how the "awareness campaigns aren't working" and "the players need more education" yet we never hear a peep about the silly girl who got blind drunk and threw herself at a bunch of hormone charged blokes who are accustomed to being idolised!
That is my interpretation of the comments by Spida and KAK and to an extent I agree.
think about it as if it was your daughter...
There is, if we are going to be honest, a fair power imbalance between a young fit male and a young female, if a girl doesn't consent to anything physical - at any stage - then it doesn't matter what she did up to that point.
I, like most other males,have been out and, for want of a better phrase, been 'cock teased' yet I have been able to restrain myself from doing anything I would regret.
I know you probably agree with all this and I would suggest that Kennelly probably does too, but even giving some credence to the suggestion that the girl was 'asking for it' is dangerous.
