Silly sport? We don't play the silly sports as played in Canada.

A rugby star or just another player? No idea. I only watch when there's a match between Australia and All Blacks.

We don't play rugby in Canada, we play Canadian Football.
It isn't a Silly sport, but I think that Cricket is silly:)
Go! Als, Go!!!

Cricket is terrible, the Als will be crushed by the Argos, and American football is a much tougher game. :lol:

If that happened in the U.S. and the perpetrator was found guilty at trial, at a minimum - the guilty individual would be locked up in prison for quite some time...

No he wouldn't, Edward. First time offense, bar brawl involving dozens... assault is a hybrid offense and would definitely be treated as a summary conviction (or whatever Americans call it). The cop thing is probably immaterial.

Back to topic.

No, the reason was not satisfactory. The judge's decision was ridiculous. That's the whole point of this thread.

Hi,
Unless I am not understanding how things are done in Austrilla that sounds like way too little here in the us it will be at least 5,000 USD and a lot of Gaul(jail) time.
