Scandal Former player suing AFL over racial abuse, sexual harassment

[blackcat]

Easy to believe there is actually a case to answer considering the reactions in here.

*pending what version of liberty you deem as appropriate in society. We should not over-litigate[sic] imo

Wasn't going to comment as to any guilt but considering everyone has assumed Wilkinson is just being overly sensitive

,,, no my concern is the definition of 'unsafe' and the query that: is this really a matter for the courts to achieve resolution and relevant timeframe.

and the boys just said he had a massive dick c`mon who would get upset about that?!! Has anyone considered the possibility of him being exposed (i.e pantsed) so they could see if being black meant he did have a big dick etc. Maybe a young guy didn't feel comfortable with a bunch of guys he didn't quite know yet wanting to talk and harass him about his dick. Anyone who has played footy knows that sort of stuff is not unlikely.

this gentleman may, or may Not, have innumerable conflicts in his (future) life and no authority to enforce valid resolution. This is not about money.

Plenty of good reasons he could deserve a payout over harassment claims. Of course he may just be looking for money but I don't see the need to discuss that side as it has been plenty discussed already.

I personally don't think money can achieve his concerns. This is American culture.

Shhh, nobody mention Horse Longmire...

Did you know he actually got the nickname because of his birthday?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Let’s wait until the proper evidence is heard. My gut feel is he doesn’t have a case though

Still doubting Wilkinson, I see.

I remember when Sherman racially abused Wilkinson and you launched into a huge abusive rant blaming Wilkinson.

Isn't that true ManOfClay/Gus/Tillerific?

His legal team will be banking on a settlement as no one will want players X Y Z names dragged through the media. The moment someone names names it doesn't matter if it is true or false, the mud will stick forever.

The timing is a bit suspect. Did anyone know he spent the last 2 years failing to become an NFL player? So he was so hurt from what happened at Gold Coast, he continued to try to get re-drafted. Then he went straight to another all male professional sport locker room.

No, have only ever heard the appendage reference. Even the Ch 7 commentators used to allude to it.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Wrong.

Strategy is to shake the tree and get a settlement. AFL's insurers likely to pay go away money. Lawyers recommend acceptance, with costs.

If client refuses, and a weak case to litigate, lawyers then likely to rescind no win/no cost deal and ask for cash to be placed in trust fund. Client then gets real.

Coz the trees rotten!

He was born on the horse of July?

Commentators don't know their ass from their elbow.

31 December. Date all horses are marked as being born.

Bet he tells ladies its for other reasons though

That’s an odd line. What did I say?

1st August isn't it?

 

[javaguice]

1st August isn't it?

Let me google it

 

[javaguice]

1st August isn't it?

Boom

1st August or 1st January if thoroughbred

Well my old mans full of shit

And longmire never got sexually harassed by team mates

Suspect the version you've cited is a 'polite' one, since all racehorses are deemed to be born on August 1. And 1970 or 71 wasn't the Chinese Year of the Horse.

He remains John The Schlong until proven otherwise.

 

[Chubberson]

With the proceeds of his monumental case he could open up a rehabilitation clinic for little green army soldiers that got abused by children and eaten by dogs.

Its hell I tell you, having to buy a birthday present for ****ing everyone on the same day, you need a second mortgage.

Oh, and, its true what they say about us.



















Our manes are really, really hard to wash.

Only south of the equator

Cmon, don't play the innocent line, troll boy.

Launching into a bloke that got racially abused and defending Sherman. Then leaving with your tail between your legs, you can't remember that? Then the grief you got after it when posters wouldn't let you forget about it.

It was the catalyst for you current user name if I recall correctly.

 

[Percel]

That might all be true, but no matter how much of a flog he may have been, or how much talent he lacked, it shouldn't make it ok to be racially abused, harassed and taunted.

In any event, I think it will be difficult for him to prove the claims, unless he has hard evidence.

stroker

 

[Aramis]

Alright lads, hands up who would hate to be teased for having a huge penis?



Anyone?

For the right price people will get offended by someone offering them a donut....

Shine stated the afl are all about hush money.
Shine want the facts to be public.
Could be interesting.

Shine kicking it off by stating the obvious, in other news water is wet and sky is blue.

Good on them for stating it though... Good to see the AFL getting pulled up on their bullshit.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Perhaps in his culture the comments he heard are construed / received differently. He's not an Aussie bloke.

 

[ManOfClay]

You are going to have to remind me. You clearly seem to remember it well.

That last line is a bit wrong but anyway.

 

[Cmarsh]

If anything it raises more questions about Ablett's leadership under his captaincy at that club. Did he know something sinister was going on with regards to Wilkinson?

 

[FRUMPY]

If he gets money then Nahas could become a very rich man

Nah .. knew 1 of his cousins quite well. Oddly enough he looks strikingly similar. He also was gifted the nickname horse, and was more than happy to explain it was a direct reference to the size of "the heat he was packing"
