Should you execute footy players or footy teams that repeatedly violate codes of conduct?

This from the Kansas City Star

*NCAA PRESIDENT SAYS “DEATH PENALTY” IS AN OPTION

>>NCAA President Mark Emmert says he’s willing to back up his tough talk on punishing rule-breakers — even using the “death penalty” as a deterrent.>>

*NCAA = National Collegiate Athletics Association

Well it turns out that death penalty in this case does not mean actual execution. Nobody dies.

This from the NCAA website:

>>Death Penalty: The ‘death penalty’ is a phrase used by media to describe the most serious NCAA penalties possible. It is not a formal NCAA term. It applies only to repeat violators and can include eliminating the involved sport for at least one year, the elimination of athletics aid in that sport for two years and the school relinquishing its Association voting privileges for a four-year period. A school is a repeat violator if a second major violation occurs within five years of the start date of the penalty from the first case. The cases do not have to be in the same sport.>>

And you know what?

I think the “death penalty” has a place in cleaning up sport. I would like to see it applied to cycling teams that are found to use forbidden performance enhancing drugs.

I think we've been pussyfooting around too long when it comes to corruption in sport. For once in my life I find myself in favour of the death penalty.

Steven,
Did not the death penalty apply last year to Melbourne Storm for breaches of the cap on players remunerations?

Or was that just a half-Death penalty by the NRL?

Haven't Olympians had their wins and medals recinded?

Just outlaw such mindless activities & be done with it !

Only if they loose too often, & disappoint their fans too often.
[or play soccer].

Should you execute footy players or footy teams that repeatedly violate codes of conduct?....O dear! They want men to be men, and have their cake and eat it..lol...I just love the way it looks. 100 years ago, there was NO T.V....( hate to be bored )....Let me take you back 7 years or so, No! lets go the whole hog and go back even further:) Men where men! and woman...was...well what she is..and we cant forget what nature dictates in what the system has called way before the transitions, and law was law...thank-you god:) And even then, the female seems to get the short end of the stick......well all in the animal kingdoms, seems to read the disc.

Ok! Lets have the battle of the sexists, and remember....females can do that men do. Come-on....lets put it to the test.

I'll put the first two terms.

1 females can make life, 2 and men can save your life.

Put your answers down, or shut up.

This will be interesting.
