Blake Ferguson. Those are two words that make me want to vomit inside my own mouth, if I can be honest here. Why? Because I am dead set over this petulant, childish, arrogant, stupid, dumb football player. Oh, I'll be fair. He's a talented football player. But I know i'm not only one who is so far over his childish behaviour. Where do we start with him??
Ferguson quit the Cronulla Sharks back in 2010 basically because he didn't want to play in a losing team. Real big of you pal! He then joined the Canberra Raiders. His time there had been solid but a little wayward due to some childish antics of his alongside Josh Dugan. To sum up their antics, it was basically a big "Up yours!" to the Canberra Raiders football club. Their players, coaches and fans. They disrespected every aspect of that club on numerous occasions. Why? So that they could get out of their contract it seems.
I've got no doubt that Blake Ferguson's recent behaviour is such because he saw how Josh Dugan got out of his contract. No, i'm not saying he allegedly sexually assaulted a young women for these reasons. That's another matter far beyond the realms of this one. Ferguson's continued trips up to the shire whilst he disrespects the club that pays his wages is just SO arrogant! He's received countless opportunities to redeem himself. He's been given ample opportunity to seek support and get himself on the straight and narrow once more. But now he just doesn't give a toss!
Worst of all. I'm not even sure he get's it. He tried to reason on twitter that he'd done no wrong because there was nothing wrong with his latest actions:
"Didn't know going out to dinner with mates was such a big problem! Guess this is what it has come to! :( "
Hold on Blake. Is that the best you've got?? I don't care if you had permission to be up there or not. Given your track record in Canberra previously. I don't think you have the right to have a go at people who have a go at you. We all think you're about as clueless as a baby that pisses its nappies.
Why am I so aggressive towards Blake though? To be honest, his antics are only part of the reason. This is a troubled footballer who earlier this season got his life together, played some good football and got rewarded with NSW Origin representation. This was his chance at redemption. His chance of fulfilling his dreams. His chance to be respected by the rugby league community. Sadly though, this is where his story ends. He blew his chance. Tossed it down the toilet all because he let the fame and glory get to his head.
His attitude recently though stinks. If he had even half a brain he'd show far more respect for those around him than he does. If, as expected, he is sacked by the Raiders, it's suggested he'll walk right back to the Sharks on a multi year deal. I'll be filthy if this happens. Given his attitude in 2013, the last thing he deserves is another chance right now. He doesn't deserve one. Not even close! The NRL would be wise to suspend him for an extended period (again!!!). How does he learn the value in showing respect?? He currently shows none and could be rewarded with another chance to start all over again??
Sorry, I don't get it and I don't approve.....
