The Australian Olympic soccer and football teams are in some hot water for being too rowdy on their flight home from Tokyo… How did they expect this flight to go? Soccer players and rugby players are two groups known to do a lot of drinking and have a good time and they’re coming off of a few weeks where they presumably trained harder than they ever have and likely eased up on the drinking. Of course they’re going to party it up and get a little rambunctious during the 10 hour flight! Why would you put them on a flight with normal passengers not returning from playing in the Olympics? Two teams returning from the games should justify chartering their own plane where they can celebrate their time in Tokyo without bothering other passengers right? The Australian Olympic Committee boss said they’re going to probe the allegations but I hope that’s just for public appearance and they actually decide to just move on and let the boys be.
The rugby team is also being criticized for leaving the beds broken in the athletes’ accommodations which seems absurd. The Olympic Committee widely publicized that they were putting in cardboard beds that were designed to be broken so who cares if a few actually were? Were they hoping to resell these used cardboard beds? And just to show that I am a reasonable man, the vomit complaints are fair to bring up. You’ve gotta clean up your own puke in the rooms, leaving it is just gross.
