Fan threatened with eviction from MCG for barracking too loud

[KBLT]

It's the footy, abuse occasionally happens. The funnier, the better.

Nothing funny about calling someone a ****.

 

[maskmcgee]

Fan booted for homophobic abuse, then.

Wrong, the guy on 3AW right now confirming he said flog.

Umpire needs to be banned for life.

Is that what happened? After recent similar episodes there is cause for doubt.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Completely fair reaction to throw him out if true.

Really?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

If he's calling him a flog... big deal. Not exactly covering yourself in glory by screeching at an umpire, but it's hardly worth being thrown out for.

If he's calling him a **** or worse.. on your bike, son. That language doesn't fly any more.

Geezus, are gay people even offended by that anymore?

 

[KBLT]

Really?

Yes. Not cool.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Maybe he should do a documentary.

The villain will be outed as the face of umpire vilification in Australia.

Will never have to buy a beer again.

Fan at the ground sitting a few rows in front of him says he heard "****".

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Yes. Not cool.

I hope he can get through this difficult period.

Scary to think where the game will be at in a few years time from now if this is the type of stuff that gets you ejected from a game.

There will be no winners and losers as players and fans won’t be able to handle losing, no ladders. Team song played for both teams after the game so the perennial offended don’t feel bad leaving the game, no tackling either probably.

And hopefully by then some billionaire starts a new comp called Aussie Rules Football and all these whinging soft people can attend and follow AFL (Auskick Football League) and the real footy supporters can go and watch the great sport we grew up with and not have to worry about the perinially offended softies that are destroying human life.

Someone on reddit claiming the fan called the ump a "bald headed ****".

And surprise surprise, Reddit lies.

 

[HawkMongrel]

Yep, done with this sport.

The PCers and precious flowers can have it. Have fun being manipulated like the stupid sheep that you are.

Do you call gay people **** to their face? If no, there's your answer.

 

[maskmcgee]

Fan at the ground sitting a few rows in front of him says he heard "****".

And he's been proven a liar by the dozens of other people who heard what he actually said who were standing right next to him and the person himself.

Omg, That’s almost the thousandth nastiest thing I have heard at a footy game. LMAO

 

[Ron The Bear]

We need boycott round

Need an organiser.

Been practically every week for 43 years but have sat out a couple of games where the AFL went too far. I'm up for it.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

I don't call people white maggots either.

Ask them, not me.

Wasn’t the case he was called a bald flog backed up by multiple ppl

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Ask them, not me.

Pretty timid insult I'd have thought.

 

[KBLT]

If that's true, then kicking him out is a bit much for calling someone a flog. Although I wouldn't take the guy's word for it. How many times have people said something that got them in trouble and then later claimed they said something else?

 

[JackFlash]

Gil has lost complete control....it's all gone insane now!

 

[maskmcgee]

Source?

The guy himself on 3AW, whoever did 3AW's boundary riding hearing it, her asking people around the area and then telling her what was said.

 

[Dynamics]

Always with the OTT reactions. Either the guy is Satan and should be given a life ban, or the game is destroyed by the PC brigade and should be boycotted.
