So...by that logic?

Well well well. Seems like we have a politician in our midst. What a great way to spin that angle on toughness. I would, however, like to point out the obvious fatal flaw in the AFL argument by asking a few questions:

Q: Were Muhammad Ali, Jeff Fenech, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson (I'm not touching Choc Mundine..) and Roy Jones Jr considered tough?

Q: Aussie diggers from WW1.... tough?

Q: Did these men know what was coming to them each time they stepped into the ring, or onto the battlefield?

I will explain in simple terms for you Port Adelaide supporters:

Just Because you know what is coming to you, doesn't make you less tough. In fact I would think it is obvious that the tougher person is the person who knows he is going to get bashed senseless or may be fatally injured, but goes out and does it anyway.

And cutting an appendage off for your sport. That's just plain silly.
