The world has changed quite a bit since the 1970s. No male sports journalist could ever have said this about an Australian female sports broadcaster in 1970. It's interesting to reflect on why that can be said with something approaching absolute certainty. |

The AFL is honouring Shane Warne tonight. Fox have already done so.

On air, or in private? I trust we're under no illusions as to the kind of stuff that would have been said down at the pub on a regular basis by men from all echelons of life back then. Tom Morris would surely have been a choirboy in comparison.

I see Tom has apologised and called his comments "disgusting and disgraceful" Do you think he felt that way about his comments before they were made public? |

I honestly doubt he feels that way even now. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Most apologies are bullshit, do you think Bevo doesn’t stand by his comments? But that’s the modern PC society we live in, everything you do and say is offensive to some pea heart. |

If every man or woman who has ever made a lewd comment about a person in private were to lose their job over the weekend then this country would ground to a halt by Monday.
In reality every person whether they be man, woman, gay, straight, transgender and everything in between would have made comments in private at some stage they'd hate to have exposed publicly.
If you disagree with that statement then I put it to you that you're either a liar or so pious you're in danger of disappearing up your own ars*hole at any moment.
Obviously Morris was a dead man walking once his comments became public because it's all about the optics but some of the hysteria and hypocrisy that is bound to come from the mouths of some in coming days will be sickening.
Honestly the way some people carry on they must think that poker nights at the Warne household were full of discussion on geopolitics and the latest Wordle or that women never talk shite about men (or other women) when they get together.
It's called being human and being imperfect from time to time.
It's called life. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

Absolutely - and being dragged from your desk, beaten up, left in the gutter and sacked for no discernible reason is also part of the great tapestry of life. Anyone would think that random, unnecessary acts ruining people's lives over nothing never happened before there was a "Woke Progressive".

I think this helps provide insight for some of the guys who don’t understand what was wrong about Morris’s comments and think this is just PC gone mad. It’s about being outnumbered in a workplace filled with men where you want to be respected for the work you do and treated as an equal, and realising that, behind your back, the men you work with are still just making sexist remarks about you, ranking you according to your looks and your prospects as a sexual partner and so on. It’s demeaning, and precisely the kind of attitude that keeps women out of male-dominated industries such as this one. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |
