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 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).

Besides which, if I remember anything from HR training (apart from falling asleep), for something to be workplace misconduct, someone actually has to be upset about it?

In the case of GWS, they managed to upset the venue staff - great job, guys - and so there actually was an aggrieved party. Dressing up as Osama - presumably to take the piss out of the guy - doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would actually provoke offence. It's not like the guy went and re-enacted the Twin Towers going down.

If he reenacted that who the **** would be emotionally traumatised now. We’ve all seen the real footage a million times. It’s pathetic we even have to debate any of this shit. The fragile state of mind of people these days that get affected but these nothing incidents is laughable

I thought he self reported, so he offended himself I guess?

Mad Monday is officially dead, another victory for the minority of losers in this country…

People can complain about 'The world gone woke' rar rar rar but even the ump knew it was in poor taste. He travelled to the venue with the costume in a bag and then wore it for like half an hour before quickly taking it off. Come on guys, why even put yourself in that position in the first place? Of all the people of the 2000's you choose THAT person?

You deserve the penalty just on stupidity. I'm not even offended by it, I just mean YOU KNOW the kinda social climate we're in these days and you're still stupid enough to do it.

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

Sure, but for the record not what I was talking about. I was talking about the legal advice that means CTE liability reduced if = penalties greater for accidents, because that logic just makes no sense to me.

Yeah, I think it was the rape stuff that really tipped it over the edge.

I thought Osama was only into suicide when it was someone else...
