A certain type of very boring person will, at some great length, explain how “interesting” it is that female elite athletes don’t get caught in the same kind of trouble as male elite athletes.
So we should all give a small cheer for former Canberra Capital Janna Sladic who the Canberra Times reports has struck one back for the ladies:
Sladic was charged with burglary, trespass, possessing stolen property, escape from arrest or custody and driving while unlicensed.
She appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday afternoon, where she was expected to be sentenced by magistrate Peter Dingwall. Her lawyer indicated she was seeking residential rehabilitation and was on the waiting list for the support service Karralika.
But Sladic’s latest offences put her in breach of a good behaviour order that she was placed on in the ACT Supreme Court after robbing a Hawker KFC outlet at knifepoint in November 2011.

What’s Your opinion?
Janna Sladic convicted of burglary

Yes but the difference between her crimes and male sport stars’ crimes (with the exception of Quade Cooper) is that hers are attempts to steal or rob. Not sexual assault or getting in a fight.
I look forward to the day when female athletes are paid as much as their male counterparts and can then branch out into bashing and groping.

the words “yet again” should probably have featured. She’s a regular.

Escape from arrest…. I guess she did it while they had their back turned ay? And just casually walked away.

Idiot. Lock her up for good now.

She used to be a semi-professional model. Of course she deserves another chance.

This is typical of women’s sport. I’ve regularly criticised women’s sport on this site and the attempts to shove it down our throats. Hopefully now the ladies will get back into the kitchen and leave sport to the men so we can take it seriously.

explain how “interesting” it is
Source on your quote JB? I didn’t find the word being mentioned in the linked Canberra Times article.
Otherwise the double-quotes are redundant.

I don’t think JB was quoting anything, he just wanted us to read the word in a funny voice in our heads.

I’m not big on men’s beach volleyball, but I can watch women’s beach volleyball quite happily – and I don’t even know anything about beach volleyball.

I have heard that the only modelling she is good for now to scare the kids away from drugs

The same sort of “interesting” person knows that a tomato is not a vegetable, and introduces this information whenever possible.

I seriously need to back-off from RA articles and realise that they are in a different league (of their own even).
Pass me the salt please.
