What have you got against Ben Cousins?

Question

What have you got against Ben Cousins?

Answer 1

Not a thing!!!!! i believe the poor lad has been crucified by the media and the AFL,and now you could maybe add the WA police in to that little mix, and it is time for all involved to really have a good look at what has happened. Is Ben going to wear the results of an Eagles culture that started before his career began,and is it fair that he gets the AFLs charge when there has been a few misadventures by a few other footballers that seems to have gone un-noticed by the minders,not the owners of our game!! I do not condone his durg use,but can understand it to a certain extent'TOO MUCH PRESSURE' and peer group pressure from players he probably adored. I think all bagging him are a being a touch PRECIOUS. Hope he comes to the mighty BLUES too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Ben Cousons is a grub compared to Joey Johns ! He has shown complete disdain for the whole rehab thing and the law, he could NEVER lead hes country because he played in a pathetic football code which has NO INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, the guys a joke.

Answer 3

Should I really have anything against a convicted felon who has endangered the lives of the innocent public drink driving on numerous occaisions (not to mention the likelihood of driving under the influence of drugs).

Should I also make excuses like the rest- "oh he had too much money, too much time on his hands... the poor little innocent thing was bored and didnt know  what he was getting himself into?

FORGET IT... the guys a crim- no other way of putting it. He hangs out with underworld figures, chose to do drugs knowing full well that such activity is illegal and knew what the consequences would be. He has been caught several times drink driving which also happens to be illegal not to mention putting everyones lives at risk.

The guy is the worst example that any one could put up in front of kids. To make excuses for him and to allow him to play elite footy so soon after his violations of not only the AFL rules, but also public law and order...  sets a shocking example to our kids that drugs are ok, and you can break the law without any consequences or detriment. Kids get the impression that so long as you are a good footballer nothing else matters, you can do whatever you want and no one will stop you or say anything about it.

Oh, and buy the way- all of you who idolise this false god, what sort of example are you setting in doing so?. PS- have you heard about his latest week long drug binge... how are you going explain that one away- Oh, I know.... he went to LA and got lost at the airport and had to keep stopping at corners to ask drug dealers for directions to the rehab centre. The poor little thing was so misled by those naughty drug dealers that he spent the whole week trying find the place, had to be hospitalised from dehydration (or something) before giving up, skipping rehab, and going home.

Give me a break! Everyone get real and tell it as it is... the guys a drug addicted crim that is such a bad influence he should never be allowed to  play football again.

Answer 4

I dont have anything against Cousins, i just think its a waste of a very good footballer, i just hope he gets back to playing again

Answer 5

Unlike some of our LADIES here ,I don't want 'anything' against him .

I would like him to get an opportunity to finish off his footy career  in the best possible way .      Which ever club picks him up, or if he is re drafted by the Eagles, I'd love his coach to just walk up and say to him " I dare you " to get back to being the superstar player the nation has known you as .

                                                              They all saw your 38 possession return game this year, then add......yesterday is HISTORY today enjoy every MINUTE tomorrow is a MYSTERY , just do it .     The point is with commitment , focus, dedication, desire and determination ...he can do it !

Answer 6

He hangs out with a very bad crowd in Perth, WCE should have put a stop to it long ago.

Great player and team man, seems like a really good bloke on TV....hope he makes  a comeback.

Answer 7

ehem...Poblands (aka RayA's evil transgender twin), what gives you the idea that Lover, Cutemum2 and me would have anything against Ben other than wanting our bodies against him?  LOL

As long as Ben stays in Perth, Sydney or LA then all is good - if he comes to Melb, then I'll have a problem - its not hot enough here for him to go topless!!

Answer 8

I don't have anything against Ben Cousins and in fact would go so far as to say I really couldn't care what Ben Cousins may or may not do.  My only wish is that the media would realise that I don't care and stop reporting about him

Answer 9

Some sportsman can be brilliant and still pull off a pleasant persona through media and fan interaction, others can't.

Ben is in the latter category.

Answer 10

I have nothing against Ben but I'm sure Lover, Rogue and Mum on here would love to have a lot more against him, the way they talk!

Ooop a day ... this is actually Ray A making this comment as Poblands is my transgender ID.  Ok, it's out!  In the open, I'm hiding in the closet with the Carlton fans ...

(Poor old Poblands has just wet herself laughing)

Answer 11

Nothing I used to love him.

I dont care if he is on drugs. So is the rest of the world i know heaps of people on drugs ... underage people too...even some primary school kids!!! Its none of my concern of what he does off the footy field. Footys over for this year...so y does every1 care bout cuzzy still. Get over it! Im over people dissing him and th eagles. Who gives a **** anymore. At the moment he is just a guy who is on drugs. No one special. Why does everyone care what other people do. I bet ur kids are on drugs Yeah i know some of u r parents, trust me all the little "goody 2 shoes" at school are on drugs. The media doesnt care about that!

Ive been told...from my sources he now suffers psychological problems because of whats happened...so he has turned to other things. Like that tattoo...it means more than people think...

Answer 12

I have nothing against him people need to realize that Ben could be anyones son or daughter that have dabbled in drugs thinking they are in control and if they don't think so go visit the nightclubs after 2 O'Clock.

I admire Ben for going to rehab and addressing his problem where I have nothing but contempt for Andrew Johns for not going so who is the better role model in this someone who tried overcome his demons or someone who  wrote a book to cash in on them.

Kids need to be shown that if you do fall into the an addiction you need medical professional help to stop no matter how strong your willpower is.

Answer 13

Nothing,I think he is a great footy player that needs to sort  his life out!

I wish him all the luck in the world :))))))))

Answer 14

druggie!!!!!!!!!

but besides that, he's cool

Answer 15

No problem with Ben, once he sorts out his problem and moves from Perth he will be better for it.

Answer 16

nothing really, he is (was) a great player who seems to gain media attention for all the wrong reasons. great tattoo by the way.

Answer 17

NOTHING...except that he did do drugs , got caught , faced a penalty(with Obligatory Conditions) , said "i am not going to submit a Urine sample (= admission of Guilt) went away to some-where out of this Country for :RE-HAB".....YOU work out the GUILTY FACTOR!.....this is a model for ALL young people to FOLLOW?

Answer 18

I'll tell you what I want against him !!!! hehehe

Besides him being a fantastic Footy player ,he has the most HOTTEST body.

I'm not complaining that the media are always talking about him.

I'm enjoying the s**y footage of him getting arrested without a top on.

So this Cutemum says Bring It On!!!!!

Answer 19

I dont have anything against him, I wish him all the best to a full recovery.

I just want to talk about something else!

Answer 20

leave him alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 21

Football supporters in general have nothing against Ben Cousins, that's why he has got so many people propping him up.

Now that he has relapsed I can't see him ever putting on football boots again.

What drives someone who was at the top of his profession to snort coke, and ruin his sinuses, to put it mildly. And to think that his father called a press conference to cover up for him.
