WTF is this guy all about eh? He's advertising unhealthy sugary drinks (Coke) now where he actually drinks isotonic shit to stay hydrated etc... and I reckon he was drinkin it from a bottle too.

The hypocrisy of it. He's advertising unhealthy products that rot kids teeth and is therefore dodging his responsibility as a hero to the children of NZ... all to make some money. Praps the NZRU should pay him more so that he doesn't set these double standards.

goes to a different team twice a year depending on who will pay him more money.

Why? His earning span in sport is short, why not maximize it?

There are plenty of other jobs in and around sport that do not require playing that pay equally as well. May as well encourage kids to lose their teeth I guess... why not do a toothpaste Ad instead?

Would you work for a lot less to take the moral high ground?

I'd think about the ramifications of my actions if I were a "celebrity". It would seem that there are some who would rather make the fast buck and not put the hard yards in like everyone else.

Hes a sportsman, not a celebrity. And has a short time to earn.

Guess he just ran out on the field one day and started playing without any training.

Ok, we'll have it your way. As I said before, his sporting career doesn't have to end when he finishes playing.

I guess he must have, I guess, like many others who do jobs, that we all just did what we wanted without any training and we don't all sell out.

Not drinking coke from a baby's milk bottle I hope!! That's mixing threads surely
