CibbuanoNorth won't sanction players over video
April 8th 2009 06:51
NORTH MELBOURNE will not sanction the players responsible for producing a tasteless video.
The Kangaroos refused to name the players behind the four-minute movie which shows a condom-clad rubber chicken performing sex acts on a chicken carcass, which is meant to depict a woman.
Kangaroos chief excutive Eugene Arocca said all the players at the club had to take some responsibility for the video which was posted on YouTube.
"As the CEO I think all of them were responsible. From the person who conceived the idea to the last young man or player on the list who watched it and didn't do anything about it," he said.
"I think they should all share the responsibility."
Arocca also said the players had pledged to make a 'substantial contribution' to a charity against domestic violence.
Former North Melbourne skipper Adam Simpson said the video didn't reflect the club's attitude towards women.
"It's just not us, I plead with you to understand that it was just immature, terrible and not acceptable behaviour but it was just an aberration," Simpson said.
"It's just not what we're made up of."

What next? A player will say he watches SouthPark and the club administrators will be outraged? And the captain will come out and say it's no reflection on the club as a whole?
I saw the video. I just hope the chicken carcass isn't pregnant or the Roos will have to pay for the abortion. But that will be socially acceptable.
