Fuxsake flatty, thatās like saying you canāt see the link between Derry orourkes abuse and swimming.
All the complainants were on his rubby teams, a good chunk of the assaults happened after rubby practice.

You know more about it than me clearly. I only read that article above. Also, o rourkes abuse had nothing to do with the sport of swimming. The administration of, possibly, equally possible that society lagged behind. There was enough state sanctioned child abuse in and around that time to fill ryker Island.
Orourkes abuse had a lot to do with swimming. Complaints were made to swim Ireland(and Iād have strong suspicions to people in authority in KH) and ignored.
We all knew in KH at the time that orourkes was a dirty perv, just didnāt know the level.
To say people in terenure were blind or ignorant to this is bordering if not trespassing on the fanciful
Not with the sport of swimming art, with the administration of the sport.

It is in the middle east where rugby has the most potential to grow, it was never realistic to try and get the sport up and waddling in Germany.

Of course it has. The USA has more criminally obese people than any country. They have loads of tubby lads that need some exercise.
