Be salt and light in the world – that’s what Jesus calls us to be as Christians. (Matthew 5:13-16)
In this spirit, I’ve started a petition calling for Channel Nine, an Australian TV station, to drop ex-Olympic gold medallist Grant Hackett from their panel of commentators at the London Olympics. Why? Isn’t Grant Hackett that brilliant swimmer who made Aussies so proud during previous Olympics? Yeah.
But Grant Hackett trashed his family’s exclusive apartment last October in a violent rampage.
“I just continued to push over furniture and make a mess,” he said.
He could scarcely deny the rampage, since the photos of the trashed apartment were published in the press.
It is reported that he admitted to targeting his wife Candice Alley’s most prized possessions during the rampage, during which she called the police.
Candice is a professional musician; the photos of the wrecked apartment show an up-ended grand piano.

Thanks for the tip, KFS. I’ve emailed Sum Of Us [Internet Archive link]. You can’t submit a petition yourself at their site, you have to ask the administrators to do it. It seems like a great site, and only three weeks old with more than half a million followers!
