If that. The concept of 'role model' should have no place in law - everybody should be treated equally. Unfortunately in the world of social media in which we live I doubt this will be the case.
njosmith Sep 2017 8:46am, 29 Sep 2017 93 posts	0 njosmith Wikipedia suggests sentence of up to either 5 years or 6 months for ABH. I don't know which is more relevant in this case. These are maximums and a fine is also a possibility if found guilty. en.wikipedia.org

I predict we'll go through 3 captains and 21 players.
