It’s a phenomena that I like to call the “let boneheads be boneheads” movement. You may have heard the movement’s devotees out in force. They’re the ones calling in to talkback radio and defending the behaviour of their heroes by arguing that we should only focus on what happens whilst on the sporting arena. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Sports-stars-do-not-have-the-right-to-be-boneheads/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Sports-stars-do-not-have-the-right-to-be-boneheads/#item892 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:49 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
