Rumour Eddie McGuire takes the blame

[kenneje]

I've never posted on this board and I rarely read it, so excuse me if this isn't relevant enough or recent enough to stay open.

I know someone that reckons he is somehow connected to a few of Eddie McGuires good mates (could be a crock of s**t, he can be a bit of a utensil) and basically, Eddie has been telling them that - the incident last year when he said Goodes should advertise King Kong the musical - was planned, as he wanted to take the attention away from the young girl that was being berated by the media. The guy he was on the radio with at the time knew it was going to happen.

It seems a little farfetched in my opinion, but if he has done that, my respect for him has shot up.
He got absolutely hammered for months after it (rightly so), and while what he said was pretty gross, if he did it for the good of some kid, he deep down might be a good guy.

I really have no interest in Collingwood and have always had a dislike for McGuire, so I promise I am not making this up (not to say my mate isn't though ... )

Probably not plausible enough to keep open.

 

[Engimal]

Bullshit.

 

[smasha]

Full moon tonight?

 

[daniel_4tw]

Yeah no.

 

[Smokeyr67]

More plausible, Eddie had a brain fade = end thread

 

[Sydney Bloods]

considering eddie reckoned the harry'o's indigenous i very much doubt he even got the king kong reference until the commentator gave him a big what the * look

And I've never masturbated to pr0n.

Why would Eddie risk screwing his highly successful career over someone he doesn't know or has never met? Highly implausible if you ask me.

 

[BEEG]

Who knows who cares Goodes became an australian hero after it all that is all that matters

 

[Thaihawk]

Personally, I blame Mrs McGuire.

 

[TerryWallet]

McGuire was sloshed, hungover, and made a dick of himself.

 

[grizzlym]

If that is indeed what Eddy claims, sounds very much like a convenient post rationalisation to me.

 

[bumsonseats]

So by that rationale, 2 wrongs make a right

 

[GoTheSwannies]

No way that's true, who would be stupid enough to make a racist comment, just to take the focus off someone else.

If his racist comment was a brain fade, then it is understandable. But if he thought up the comment, then it was a premeditated gesture and would be even worse than a slip up.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Eddie is a racist. /thread

 

[My North]

blame Eddie, its all Eddie fault

 

[Crawb]

That is probably what Ed tells himself to make himself feel better.

 

[Quixote]

Nah
