  Very unprofessional Rory, not impressed with that kind of behaviour.  People who are in the public eye need to learn that some members of the public consider the actions of their idols acceptable, and mimic that kind of attitude in their own lives. 

  Give respect to people and property and let us not descend into anarchy

  I don't play IRL, probably just as well as I wouldn't have any straight clubs left in my bag, but I am not anyone's role model or idol.

  Do you not think there's less respect in society today and why that is?

  .....and kids do not respect because their role models actions confirm that that kind of behaviour is acceptable.

  Very difficult when kids can see celebrities earning tens of thousands per week for seemingly doing very little.

  Can't imagine many kids shunning that when they look at their dishevelled & crumpled dad when he gets home from work after being stuck behind a desk for 8 hours.

  still the parents job to inform the kid that only a very low % of people make it to that level and prepare them for real life ...
