Sport divides opinion like few things in life and we have seen a handful of stories recently which have polarised people.
None more so than the reaction to Alex McKinnon's injury. The debate has raged over myriad things, like three players in the tackle, lifting in the tackle, McKinnon's contribution
to the injury, the length of the suspension and who else should have been charged.
The seriousness of his injury prompted many to comment but most who have weighed in and made judgement on what needs to change in the sport are unqualified. People who are not league fans or even sports fans felt strongly enough to comment based on the attention it has attracted. No one has escaped it.
Sonny Bill Williams is another who polarises opinion. Remember when he arrived in New Zealand to play rugby and had the goal of making the All Blacks? What a reaction that was.
Everyone in this country seems to have an opinion on SBW. What is it based on? Most New Zealanders have never met him but consider themselves experts on his character and values.
