Those gambling machines, like cigarettes are obviously detrimental to society etc however they do provide positives such as funding for sport. Christ if it weren�t for that we wouldn�t have any sport in NZ � bring back cigarette advertising and sponsorship I say � people will smoke either way.
Do you think if the money wasn�t invested in the players that it would be put to good use Dino? My thought would be that it would end up in someone else�s pocket completely undeserving of any remuneration.
With the exception of one or two players in the first two seasons of the NZFC no one received a cent. Every other franchise was paying there players in some form or another. Training could be as many as 5 times a week and these guys turned up. So to say they're greedy is completely unreasonable and unfounded.
