What is your mum up to?
Sledging is common in many sports, but can it be taken too far? Are female based sledges contributing to a climate of sexual assault?

I think it is quite stupid for a sporting proffesional to react violently to what another sporting person has to say. Verbal abuse has been a part of just about all sports for a while and rarely players react with violence. In the AFL Headland had a snipe at Selwood for saying something about Headland's 6 yr old daughter. Headland reacted violently at Selwood because of what Selwoood said, obviously this was not true and even if it was I dont think violence is the answer. As a proffesional athlete he should know better than to hit someone on the field where it's a possibility that he could get suspended. I think players should be smarter with how they react on the field.
