There's nothing more Sam Newman would love than a petition to cancel Sam Newman

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Not sure Sam would even care.

Remove Sam Newman from the Hall of Fame

You get removed from the AFL Hall of Fame for committing heinous crimes. e.g. Barry Cable sexually molesting a young girl for 5 years
You don't get from removed the Hall of Fame for having contrarian views and spouting inflammatory opinions.

I saw that you accused Newman of racism after he ranted against the AFL's "woke agenda" and said the "Welcome to Country" ceremonies were a load of shite. I didn't think it was racist. Ignorant maybe... But not racist.

We live in a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinions. You don't have to like anything Newman says, nor agree with him. You can start threads about him and call him a racist. That's the beauty of living here. Everyone gets to have an opinion.

You can get kicked out for continous base racism as well.

You might have missed all of Newman's quotes throughout thr years, there's some real rank stuff there.

Sam Newman’s Footy Show blackface stunt was in 1999. He’s had a platform ever since. How sad for the rest of us.

Who would have thought that a 77 year old, born in 1945, who went to Geelong Grammer, who lives in Brighton and worked at channel 9 for 40 years would be out of touch with society?

 

[rapidfire7]

Sam Newman is in the hall of fame for his football career. His politcal opinions should have nothing to do with it.

Do you want Margaret Court Arena to be renamed too?

Where do we draw the line?

Shoud we ban everyone you disagree with on a social/politcal issue?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Not sure Sam would even care.

As a narcissist and suffering relevance deprivation disorder he would enjoy the attention. However, privately he wouldn't be happy to be removed.

 

[killtaker1993]

Does he still have that Pamela Anderson mural outside his house?

 

[Donakebab]

Do you want Margaret Court Arena to be renamed too?

Yes.

Sam Newman is the topic please stay on topic

I thought it was a very valid comparison. It's a pretty sad state of affairs that people are so triggered by other's opinions, that they feel the need to make change petitions to have them cancelled. Sam lives in a lot of people's heads rent free it seems.

So you support all the racist statements he's made do you?

 

[Erakor]

No idea how someone could be offended by the welcome to country ceromy. It's so inclusive and 'feel good vibes'. It's literally a welcome. Dare I say the people offended by it are a bit (prepare for modern political buzzword) snowflakey.

In saying that, no idea why people want to make Sam Newman's comments a national crusade. Just ignore him.

For those he say but he has a platform, sure, but also who cares. His views are a lot more publicity because of the reaction he gets.

Probably the guy who watched his girlfriend die instead of calling an ambulance, because he didnt want the ambos injecting him with the drug which counteracts heroin.

 

[The King!]

heck me what a stupid suggestion

Don't have to agree with everyone's opinions in the hall of fame, he didn't commit a crime


get a life

 

[bzparkes]

Pass.

You may not agree with his comments but faux outrage generally never hurt anyone, unless you have an unnatural hair colour...

 

[Danw0w]

Why? Because he has different opinions to you?

 

[Crowbling]

We need to remove and cancel everyone until we all think alike.

Exactly. First cab off the rank is Gary Snr for letting a teenage girl die of an overdose of hammer in his company of usage in a city hotel room.

Makes Newman’s actions of cringe look mild as f …
