Edited: Disgusted by public support

As many people may be aware, there has been a lot of talk in the media in regards to Matthew Johns and his group sex capers in 2002 in Christchurch, promopted by the ABC's 4 Corners program.

Public Support however for Johns is still running high, complete with a Facebook group, people saying "what's the big deal, it wasn't illegal", and one leage players saying:

"You're not supposed to say it publicly, but everyone knows that if you're polite afterwards and pay her cab fare home you usually don't have any problems."

Johns has been stood down by Channel 9 with David Gallop of the NRL also stating that the incident was totally unacceptable behaviour, a move which I strongly support. Yeah, i know it wasn't illegal, but this is a guy that a lot of young people look up to and admire as a 'sporting hero'.

Whilst it wasn't Illegeal, i still feel it's wrong because of 2 basic issues:

1. its just down outright degrading to women; even if your not a Christian, you should be appalled by the culture that says this sort of thing is 'OK'.
2. Even as society slides deeper into moral depravity, most people still somehow hold onto the sanctity of marriage - just look at the number of non-Christians who commit to it; Matthew Johns committed adultry.

If people still think its ok, I wonder how would these same people react if it was their sister, their wife/girlfriend or their daughter that was involved?
