The AFL have meted-out some fairly heavy punishment apon the Essendon (AFL) Football Club and a number of its officials for dabbling in illicit drugs during the 2012 season.
Figure-head (rightly or wrongly) in all of this has been senior coach James Hird, a former champion player and hero among 'Bomber' worshippers. He has been suspended for the remaining home and away game plus all of next year! Among other penalties, the club has been fined a couple of million bucks and, will be down-listed to ninth on the current ladder, so they cannot participate in 2013 finals.
Why do apparently sane people indulge in this kind of behaviour? Is it the money involved in winning and/or losing? Beats me!
