My only concern however is that while being great role models, the wearing of a pruple armband for one game is not addressing the culture of many of the football codes. More education is needed to change embedded attitudes that some men have towards women. I congratulate the FFASA on thier campaign.

On an angrier note, I've just discovered that the brothers convicted of gang rape against three Sydney women three years ago have just won their appeal. Each of the brothers have had their sentence reduced, of which the ringleader's has decreased from a maximum of 55 years to 28 years. There are no excuses. This is a classic case and cold reminder of how little such a deplorable crime is taken seriously. What a great campaign, thank you.
