The woman cricket commentator calling an Indian cricketer a primate seems to have survived
was this the first time he had played since that clip was aired?
No ,played friday night
She survived because she is well respected, Indian team didn't complain about it and most of the general public saw it as a harmless slip of the tongue . If you heard the whole thing, she was admiring Bumrah. Bit different to old Tone, who was taking the piss out of a great, the player is offended and so are a lot of the general public.
Yeah nah . Novak fans

Tony Jones is still on ch9, he isn't going to lose his job because of Novak
So Tony Jones had already apologised direct to Novak team 2 days ago, so Novak was just making a big song and dance for the sake of it…

It wasn’t a public apology. That’s what he requested and it’s the right thing to do. Should have been done a day ago.
Least it’s been done now the right way we’ll sort of the comment shouldn’t have been said in the first place

Wank apology from Tony Jones, no way I'd accept that if I was Novak.
Also good to see my friend Craig Tilley being called out by Novak as the great guy that he is. I recall many here wanted him fired and said he was fired after the border force ****ery, Craig is doing a great job.

Only thing I hate Tiley for is the ridiculous Sunday start, we don't need 3 days of r1 but we all know why that is- cash grab, just wish he'd say it rather than the laughable excuse of not wanting delays etc. Other than that he's done a great job.
Novak isn't standing up to his bearish behaviour to women though...

That's not his battle unfortunately as bad a look as it is.
He’s not going to come out and say it. He’ll keep going down the same line even though he still Fuchs the schedule every day

Least I've gone to a stage where the schedule will be useless for the first week with the focus on the locals. Least the app has been fantastic don't think I watched a single game on 9 in the first week lol

Isa Guha made a public apology pretty swiftly, that is the difference.

yep the next day. Why it took THREE days for 9 to get the tool to apologise I'll never know and why did it take an action from the individual to preempt them actually apologising. Says all you need to know about Ch9 really
He already apologised to him

Not publicly he didn't. That's what Novak requested.
A day and half after he apologised to him directly. Novak is precious
The Serbian Council of Australia says it has lodged a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission over Tony Jones’ comments last Friday.
In a statement posted to the council’s Facebook page and dated Sunday January 19, the council said Jones’ comments were “offensive, racist and only serve to incite further discrimination of Australian-Serbs”.

Jones ain't getting sacked as annoying as he is. Neither is Novak getting sacked either, everybody is entitled to freedom of expression. You guys are clueless.
