Should/will Tom Morris get a second chance?

[mikey127]

What do people think. 2 questions Will he get a second chance abd Should he get a second chance.

My personal thinking is yes he shouldn't have said what he said but we all make mistakes and say things we shouldn't. I'm def a forgiving person abd one for second chances but obviously not everyone thinks like me.

I didn't mind him TBH, he should I reckon but doubt he will in the world we live in now.

In the world of independent freelancers that we see in journalism these days I'm sure he'll bob up on a podcast or an independent site, or even do the odd game on the boundary for an outlet that needs someone for a meaningless Sunday twilight game but I doubt he'll get a high profile position.

My guess is that he'll just become a tv or radio producer somewhere for someone. Easy gig make $100k a year, fill in here and there when someone's sick.

Unlikely to be at a senior level.

There is an oversupply of journalists and broadcasters in Australia, with many holding a qualification but few practicing in the field full-time.

 

[Redline]

He will turn.up again somewhere but ease back into it. He has alot of contacts in the industry so someone will look after him

 

[Ironmonger]

If he changed his name to Tim Maurice and came back, I reckon he'd be safe.

After all, no one would be able to tell him from all the other interchangeable idiots in the footy media.

Yeah every time i see her now on T.V and next to another woman my mind runs off, Thanks Tom

Bit lost here, what did he do again?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Bit lost here, what did he do again?

Basically outed a colleague as a lesbian.

 

[ash_1050]

Basically outed a colleague as a lesbian.

*and was racist, sexist, and homophobic.

Basically outed a colleague as a lesbian.

In a what's app group that would have contained some other media types - Yet, nothing happened to them.

 

[dmc333]

Hutchy will probably give him a gig behind the scenes somewhere. Not sure he'll show up on air again.

 

[magpies2013]

If he’s name was Chris Smith from sky news he would be back. The creep is a repeat offender and a lot worse than what Tom did but still kept his job and will probably again

 

[Redline]

I think what Tom has going against him is there are probably 100 people that could do his job. He was good at what he did but he wasn't an ex player and didn't really bring anything unique to the table

If I was advising him on how to get back into the media I think he should start with a podcast. He wouldn't make any money out of it but would start to get back involvedamd have people talking about him again. No network wants to be first to employ him so that might be one way around it.

Depends what the measuring stick is for tolerance and forgiveness in that industry, isn't it?
Wayne Carey still managed to get gigs after all his various indiscretions.
Having said that, as pointed out by others in this thread, Tom Morris' talents and insights aren't exactly unique, so he's also got that going against him.

 

[steviewonder36]

*and was racist, sexist, and homophobic.

Hence why he worked for Fox Sports....

 

[freddy mercury]

of house he should, but the woke police wont allow it and he will be cancelled along with his employer.

 

[OhDustinMartin]

The fewer creepy, private school-educated nepo babies influencing the game, the better.

That's barely liveable, just go do a comms job at a decent sized company and get twice that.

 

[footyfan1978]

Let's hope not.
One less complete tosser in the media is a good thing.
But if it meant doing a deal with the devil I could live with him back if it means Tom Browne gone as the deal.

 

[Reb_Soss]

Isn’t this the main point?

If he has contacts or nepotism on his side, of course he will be back.

If he doesn’t. Very tough.

You’ve hit the nail on the head

You should do motivational speeches in the bread line

Everyone deserves a second chance. The people of this country are very unforgiving.
