Pendlebury glad that footy is back

[Sylvia Saint]

And so he should be. But he has somehow upset people in the process.

Completely ****ed if you ask me.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

* that's funny

 

[ManOfClay]

Lord give me strength if this is now an issue

 

[DapperDon]

Another day another warrior ticking off their daily count.

 

[daffo]

Should be a no news story.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Would love to see Scotty reply with a big “**** off love” to one of the feminists making this an issue

As usual most of them are white knights looking to get laid.

 

[Pali23]

I was only just getting over Peter Rabbit pushing the bloke into a black berry bush that he was allergic too dont think I can handle any more trauma.

 

[Jade]

How dare he say something with no ill-intent and inadvertently offend some triggered nutjob.

 

[Sprout]

If he only watches the Collingwood AFLW team he can be forgiven for thinking footy hasn’t returned yet.

 

[David Schwarz]

I must admit I have never been this excited about footy since we lost the qualifying final against Geelong in 1994

 

[Benny78]

ahhh my eyes he's mansplaining somebody make it stop!!

 

[Plugger35]

How dare he not carry on the charade that AFLW is as important as AFL.

We all know if the AFLW went head to head against the AFL no one would watch it, that's why they have to start their games at the beginning of February.

Yes because the AFL's ultimate desire is to create a rival league to compete with itself

 

[Oscarman]

"Journalists" are so lazy these days. At least Richo eating chicken and Andrew Walker's cap were newsworthy.

 

[catpremier 07]

Im with pendles. Even aflx will be better than aflw, or mixed afl as it will be known next year.

 

[W.C. Fry]

I am so offended.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

I hate the "outrage reporting" more than anything else.
2 tools are "offended" (probably 5 at most), and they are barely offended. They probably just wrote a tweet and moved on with their day.

Then we get an article reporting the outrage, then everyone counters the outrage, soon there will be article saying something along the lines of "while not a big deal, he should have been more thoughtful." Next Rita Panahi or some equivalent will write an article about "PC culture gone mad" and the "left trying to censor again."

At some point Clementine Ford will jump in, just cause. She'll assume Scott Pendlebury is a monster because she got some 3rd hand information on the issue and just couldn't resist, despite not knowing what's going on, or caring. Then a bunch of people will turn on her, which in her eyes will justify her comments.

It will become a discussion topic and talk back, with 99% saying getting right up on their respective high horses, because some people love it when the opposing view overreact to trivial bullshit, while some who aren't even aware of the issue when attribute it to "once again Men are unhappy when women voice their opinion"

In under a week, this s**t will blow over. Nobody from either side will care, they'll move on to the next "issue."

All because 5 people responded to a ******* tweet.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Another victory for the professionally outraged.

 

[GeelongFTW]

do you have the viewership figures of the bbl semi-final vs AFL-W season opener on Feb 2 out of curiosity?

 

[Starburns_]

I'm offended....







....that he considers AFLX footy.

 

[Power Play]

Soon these people will be demanding the AFL mens league to be renamed to AFLM to avoid sexism.

 

[Jarman3]

Quick, somebody point me towards the nearest safe space. I need some time out to recover from the trauma of systemic... whatever this one is.

 

[Jaeger]

What a time to be alive

 

[10571z]

I think you'll find often media outlets create these rage stories with no basis.

The amount of times I've heard "a group has lashed out..." with zero evidence and a 10,000 long comment section saying how crazy the world has gone.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

The people who are offended by this are probably the Councillors in Yarra who banned their staff using the term 'Australia day'
