Rumour Multiple GWS players are set to be suspended to start the 2025 season after distasteful costumes and skits from their post-season function

I thought it couldnt get worse than Gil boy i was way off.

Does that mean if i would dress up as Putin for a theme event i would be suspended/lose my job?

 

[burge13]

Somewhere along the line we forgot that dressing up as someone as a pisstake doesn't mean that we support that persons entire moral fabric. Everyone just dress as Helen Lovejoy going forward

Those who are offended wouldn't even be able to explain why on this one

 

[bzparkes]

Terrorists?

Well, that's the concern, eh? I'd be curious as to what those 'offended' by this cosplay do in their private time, remembering that the umpire didn't even wear the costume to the event, he got dressed up there.

If it is a themed party then is it ok?
People dressed up as zombies, serial killers and vampires all last week.

Would Emily Dickinson face suspension every time she wrote her name down?

At a work event?

The walls of comedy get narrower and narrower every day

Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahah

Now they've suspended an Unpire for dressing up as Bin Laden.

Lol **** me dead. The two things I really really want to see from the AFL are it's legal advice regarding concussions and whatever woke PR policy they have adopted regarding this stuff. Would love to laugh at who was brain-dead enough to come up with each of those.

In the meantime they totally ignore the games drug problems, which is the real elephant in the room

Only if she put a wink emoji after it.

Gambling advertising everywhere. Alcohol ads non stop. But dont wear a fake bard and a white robe

What's next?​

Haussen will have to address the umpiring group when they return to training before being eligible to return to the field.

This just takes the cake it would be a struggle to hold in the laughter.

He should double down and rock up in a Hitler outfit

Fake minstrel ok by you?

I’d go as Genghis Kahn or Stalin to really make a stir

“I took the piss out of this dickhead”

There we go

Come on AFL.

Everyone who watches South Park knows it takes 22.3 years for a tragedy to become funny. It isn't 2023 anymore. 9/11 is no longer too soon!!!

But seriously...enjoy your slippery slope AFL. Can't wait til an Admin AFL person dresses up as a North Korean leader and they have to ban one of their own and forced to community service

 

[Orange Agent]

2 games for players acting out a 9/11 themed skit but 1 for an umpire dressing as Bin Laden???

Was the MRP involved here?

9/11 was definitely high contact and deliberate intent

 

[Dan Moody]

Next they'll prevent him from umpiring Bomber's games

 

[Lingsface]

At a work event?

Yes people would of been at work events even schools embracing the dress ups for Halloween.

I was tentatively okay with the GWS players being punished but I thought the suspensions were too harsh and I was worried it would quickly go down a slippery slope and it has fast. America's a 50/50 chance of electing a fascist in a couple of days, going by AFL standards they should be suspending anybody who cosplays as Trump yet I can guarantee they won't (and they shouldn't).

These guys are in big strife...

I was almost with you until you went off about concussions.

I think we know that the AFL has no morals when it comes to money

Yeah, exactly. CTE isn't about 'political correctness'.
