Play Nice Eddie McGuire comments on holding Caro Wilson underwater

[Kram]

Even dumbarse Darcy immediately thought you absolute idiot.. and then the way he tries to backpedal All after he recently threw a little kid that made an accidental mistake under a bus.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

She is a piece of shit so couldn't care less.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

LOUD NOISES

 

[DieSwans]

I tend to find they go hand in hand from middle-aged white men who don't want to see anyone treated with the respect that they get.

Ahhhh, the old white, straight male privilege.

/facepalm

 

[nobbyiscool]

Op is sexist for making this about sex. It has nothing to do with her being female.

Caroline is a journalist, why does the op have to point out that she is a female journalist?

No, McGuire made it sexist for promoting violence against women.

The fact you don't see that says a lot more about you than it says about me.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

McGuire and Brayshaw are both self-serving assholes.

 

[bucksisbest]

I can understand with the current climate how this is an issue, however I think it will be seen as worse by more casual followers who perhaps have less of a nuanced understanding of the pre existing relationship/dynamic.

Having said that it went a step too far.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Where is the sexism in his comment?

nobbyiscool you are a ******* idiot!!!!!

The bit where he promotes violence against women 2 days before the women's league announcement, and 5 days before the White Ribbon game, flog.

 

[DieSwans]

So we want to treat her equally in the industry, yet treat her differently at the same time?

Okay

 

[peternorth]

this caused outrage also, and offended persons expressed their outrage on social media citing violence against women.

some felt this was ok but found issue with mcguires words.

By the way, it's definitely turning into a story - it's not some random podcast and blogger making an issue out of it:

I've noticed you complain about white men a lot. Sounds like you are the one who is a racist and sexist.

 

[quotemokc]

Caro is a woman?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Pretty shit convo to be having, from these so called "leaders".

You'd think Carey would have enough self-awareness to steer well clear of any insinuated abuse or assault of a woman with his history, but obviously he's not that bright.

If only Brayshaw did a disappearing act like his mate, Garry.

But if it was a guy he wanted to drown it would be ok though right?

 

[Colonial]

Same leader of a club that wants a womens footy team and a womens netball team?

 

[Ochre]

Hi, as a white male, who has never experienced racism or sexism, I feel like I'm the perfect person to explain exactly what constitutes these things.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Of course, it would be 100% fine.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Strip Collingwood of the Women's team license and give it to StKillda.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

AFL and Netball Australia should strip Collingwood of their licences.

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

Is Caro offended?

She's a capable individual who will let us know what she thinks. Until then, all the white knights rushing to her aid might want to cool their jets.

 

[the universal]

Quick they should of known letting pc principal out was a mistake.

12 posts in and somebody makes a reference to "PC". Must be a BigFooty record.

 

[Big Bryza]

Why get worked up about it?

We all know that Eddie is a two-faced, whining, moronic oaf. If the likes of MMM, Foxtel and Nine continue to pay him a salary then clearly ratings are more important to them than standards and decency.

Do what I do - vote with your remote!

Ok.

 

[DieSwans]

Thats right, white males don't understand anything and can have no opinion on such matters.

Brainwashed AF

Have you never been to Asia? They are racist as all hell towards whities, just most of the time we don't understand them.
