[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 731648, member: 71618"] I'm a huge critic of a lot of New Zealand society and sporting culture, I do feel sorry for Mils though, because I know the English team have a lot of issues similar to his one with women and it's a common allegations in UK, often turning out untrue and judging by Mils character, it goes everything against it. As I said, this was never an NZ vs Aussie thing, so I have no idea why you guys continue to try make it one. I might have generalized a little too much and people took it very literal. I should have been more specific, that there are A LOT of Australian sportsmen who represent their country poorly and a lot of poor pundits that make it almost unbearable to listen to them. I don't think I've been unreasonable at all. I know we are now in the day and age of "tolerance" and "racial" acceptation, so everyone is so confrontational and butthurt when their Nation is slightly criticized (which I wasn't even doing). Once again, I was pointing out sportsmen, so stop taking it like I'm attacking your "race" or country. Credit where credit is due, criticism where criticism due and if you're offended, harden up, I'm not the first person on this planet to share this view. [/QUOTE]
