Brian Taylor describes Harry Taylor waving to the crowd as "a big ****ter"

Here's the clip

Please make a big deal out of this, Hopefully he can get sacked

 

[MOONEY 21]

sack the fat piece of shit. Get rid of that annoying twat sam lane aswell. You want the ratings up AFL? Get rid of these 2.

 

[Modified Dog]

BT is useless. He always gets the players' names wrong

Obviously, he meant Tom Hawkins.

 

[Donners]

I turned it on to see what the fuss was about. How the hell does anyone sit through this tripe?

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Unasseptable!

 

[Catastic82]

Had the captions on... He did say it

Disgraceful should had been sacked a long time ago

 

[Tatts22]

It doesn't offend me but in 2014 you cannot say it & people have been in trouble for similar (ask Stephanie Rice!!) He is of the generation though where this was a very common term so he's obviously still living in the past.

 

[Rod Stroker]

So an already negative word term to refer to gay men being used to describe a perceived weakness or fault in someone, that's okay is it?

Before everyone gets up on their ****ing soap boxes, did Harry Taylor have a problem with what he was called? I'd say the answer is no. In which case, why the bloody hell should a bunch of sensitive nuffies on a football forum be up in arms about it for him?

That's suppose to be funny you homophobic idiot

 

[Richard Pryor]

What a giant 9 year old.

I'd say I'm staggered you're this ignorant, but I'm really really not.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Mark.

I wouldn't know. Gave up months ago.

I'm sure we'll all just have to get over it. If a player called an opponent a ****** there'd be a royal commission.

Wut? Because 1 in 10 people on average identify as gay. By referring to Taylor as "a big ****ter" BT is insinuating that being gay is a bad thing, soft, wrong. As such, he's grossly offending 10% of the population.

How can you not understand this?

 

[dvas987]

Why David Hookes and not BT....

 

[Zerg]

Knowing our luck C7 will sack BT and recruit a new "star".

Dwayne Russell....

Look, I'm not offended by it but the fact is homophobia is a serious issue and insults like "****ter" and "***" only serve to tell gay people that they are "other" and a joke. Don't get me wrong, I use the words occasionally and love shows like South Park that use them religiously but it's not really the type of language that should be used on family programming, lame as that sounds. It was a very average and needless comment.

Dwayne Russell....

If that means Dwayne only does one game a week, that's a win for humanity.

Brian Lake would get his suspension overturned if he "chokes" BT live on air

Maybe this blunder could see him banned from my televisions forever and ever and ever?

PEOPLE: THIS COULD BE OUR CHANCE!!

LET'S GET BRIAN BONED!!

YES!

People...I beg of you, this is not the time for in fighting. We must unite.

Because apparently posting pictures of Adam Goodes and Eddie McGuire not tolerating racial abuse backs up his point somehow.

It'd be the quickest way to repair his repuation among footy fans!

 

[FootyGeek]

Does Brian Taylor qualify as a 'bear'?
