Quote: "I am pretty we have all said things in the heat of the moment. If any of you really think a player is not going to swear at some point during a game. You really need to get out more.'"
Got to agree with that. Rugby league is a tough, physical, passionate sport and as someone who plays the game who also thinks of themself as eloquent and having a good command of the English language, there are occasions when swearing at team-mates is the only option.
Although I can see people's point of view about fans language on the terraces, saying about sending players off for swearing is ridiculous.
I think personally that swearing is less the problem and it's more fans aggressive behaviour which can sometimes encompass swearing and racism which cause issues. I feel that banter between opposing fans and giving the officials a bit of a hard time is all part of the 'family atmosphere' and theatre of a game but occasionally this spills over as certain idiots take it too far.
