Curnow's tactics aren't good for the game but when "Lingy" used to do them he was a legend.
All the callers think it's hilarious when "Mummy" flattens blokes but it's undisciplined when Lyndsey Thomas does it.
When Mitchell, Hodge and Selwood all punch on it's great to see warriors going at it but when Yarran beat up Paul Chapman it was uncalled for.
These are the same commentators that called fans racist for booing Adam Goodes.
I won't comment on your last sentence, but existing hypocrisies should not be used to legitimate further hypocrisies, and should not be used to legitimate further unsavory behavior. Hypocrisy exists - we all know that, and it's endemic to being human. There's a difference between hypocrisy and genuinely believing that two situations are different, however similar they may seem to others, but that's for another time.
As for Ling, no player is perfect, but I thought as far as taggers go, he was cleaner than most. Granted, i didn't watch every game he played, so I can't comment further.
