Brian Taylor describes Harry Taylor waving to the crowd as "a big ****ter"

[Boxhead_31]

If we kick up enough of a fuss BT could get sacked.

Just putting that option out there.

You've got my support on those grounds

 

[Catastic82]

Yeah, that was supposed to be funny.

And I'm not homophobic. I'm gay. I'm a big ****ter.

So what have you got to say about that?

Stop being a hater and trying to deflect and insult Geelong players

 

[Blugazi]

Before everyone gets up on their ******* soap boxes, did Harry Taylor have a problem with what he was called? I'd say the answer is no. In which case, why the bloody hell should a bunch of sensitive nuffies on a football forum be up in arms about it for him?

You're amazing.

 

[The 747]

I don't see what the big deal is.

Its not acceptable in any workplace for a start, let alome prime time TV with children watching. Whether or not you agrree with it, you cant say things like that in a professional environment.

 

[Drunken Bum]

What time exactly did he say this?

I need to know for the complaint I'm filling out.

Was just about to ask this myself, also what program, was it a pre game show or the the actual footy coverage?

Go for 6.30. Channel 7 AFL Saturday Night.

You really haven't thought this through, have you?

"Seven’s panel of Luke Darcy, Cameron Ling, Sam Lane, Matthew Richardson and Mick Molloy laughed at the outburst"

So let's brand them all homophobes too because they were all amused by it. Sack them all because they didn't outrage-tweet in disgust!

 

[2one2]

Nothing like people upset about homophobia to bring out all the dreck on BF and twitter

 

[Donakebab]

This board is nuts. Can't call someone a tosser but you can be as ignorant and homophobic as you like.

 

[Burzum]

On one hand I dislike this hypersensitivity to words but on the other hand it means I won't hear BT call games any longer.

Quite the conundrum.

 

[bugalugs213]

Brians love of the game have been out shadowed by the love of himself for the last 4 years. He's living in his own bubble unaware of what his comments and how other people take them.
It's probably best channel 7 move him on.

 

[LT Smash]

I'd say I'm staggered you're this sensitive, but I'm not.

Eddie calls Kornes a campaigner on air in jest, Kornes laughs it off. This was the same. Nothing to see here. Only a big deal because people want to make it out to be.

And for the record, I'm not a BT fan, so I don't care what he says or what happens to him.

LOL. Dig up.

How's that context coming along? We're all waiting for you to set us right. This is your moment of glory!

“I don’t know whether you guys down there can hear me or not..." I'm guessing he thought they weren't on air? Anticipating official statement from Ch7 apologizing for a "technical malfunction".

Could you go in the Brent Harvey - Credit where it's due thread and tell all your fellow Roos fans that it IS ok that fans of other clubs to think he is a c**t.

I mean, does Brent Harvey have a problem with what he was called. I'd say the answer is no. In which case, why the bloody hell should a bunch of sensitive North nuffies (Norfies?) on a football forum be up in arms about it for him?

And of course I know you wouldn't have been one of them.

They all get their paychecks because nuffies watch AFL on TV.

They might not want to piss them off (overly sensitive or not), if they want to keep their jobs.

 

[Catastic82]

Go to bed.

Insults

Classy

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

C7 should grow a pair a sack the fat c*** once and for all. Everyone who cares about the current state of commentary should make a complaint and force him off the air.

So it is ok for you to use terms like:

Grow a sack; and
Sack the fat campaigner

Yet you are outraged by the term ****ta

Yep, this country is now officially ****ed.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Careful, you'll get flamed for thinking like that around here. It's PC or the highway!

 

[Donakebab]

You clearly don't understand context.

Yes, context is everything. In the context of being on national television it was completely inappropriate.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Wow the PC brigrade really are out in force tonight.

Shouldn't have let it slip out but it's hardly that big of a deal

 

[Richard Pryor]

I get the impression he was more outraged by BT in general.

 

[LT Smash]

Complaint made.

This is a great feeling. It rivals giving to charity.

A good deed has been done.

Can you let us know where you complained to? Email address or phone number?
