Do sportspeople in Australia get put on a pedestal too much

If you are a sportsperson you are basically a Demi God in Australia.
As much as I like sports, I feel they get more credit than they deserve....especially rugby league and Afl players.

You compare this to say Asian countries there's no way they get the same love from its compared to someone who has worked hard and become wealthy and conducted themselves the right way

It seems as long as you are pro sportsman you will get envied anywhere you go regardless of what misdemeanours you do

I've never swung at anyone and never plan to, I'm way too laid back IRL.

Our paths will never cross in a bar as you've well and truly established how high brow your tastes are compared to everyone else here, you're obviously far too good to mix with the plebs.

I've honestly not been able to figure you out, you're obviously a cultured guy but you express yourself almost entirely with nonsensical monologues that just serve to denigrate something popular so you can remind us all just how elitist your tastes are. It's hard to take that seriously.

I've no idea whether you're just a smart guy's poor attempt at a troll or a genuine case of high functioning autism.
