Rumour Jeremy Finlayson under investigation - 3 game suspension

[Bagger72]

You must have been as good a footballer as I was, playing 4ths you always ended up with people looking for fights rather than a game of footy.

cant disagree - but I was decent at the game as well. We were all aggressive when took the field and liked to get hit.

You’re wrong. Most people aren’t sensitive and could care less being called that word or any other. The ones that do aren’t that offended but will use the incident to get a payout and carry on with faux outrage and worse yet are the people that get outraged on behalf of others and social media is absolutely full of it and the cancel culture warriors

How would you know whether they are offended or not? People with mental health issues can be very sensitive to put down comments. Just to top off your BOG average post, you then assume they are just after a "payout."

Pro bigotry in what sense?

Families could say the same thing to ultra wokesters.

You said today's woke decision went against country football ideals. The only decision the afl made today was to make a stand against bigotry.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Family and community

No arguments from me there, but what are these so-called "ultra-woke" policies the AFL have implemented that threaten that?

You can do all of that without slagging off gay people.

Where does one start is the question.

I am curious whether Blackrock is an investor of the AFL

Sadly his wife and family is being attacked on social media

Excuse me?
I don't think I did.

Current administration is a farce - anyone that has played local footy thinks this is a farce.

Being combative, aggressive and relentless in local football is acceptable as are all in brawls. You don't want bruises and getting hit you don't play as that's the game.

AFL is doing a good job in most aspects of the sport but when they bring politics especially ultra-woke rubbish that goes against the ideals of country football then they are walking on thin ice.

Let’s tease this out then shall we.

Are you claiming country footy’s ideals are pro homophobic terms being thrown about with abandon?

My brother in christ, slow down and think about what you’re really saying, because spluttering “WOKE” with a trailing ribbon of saliva isn’t really cutting it.

 

[kaiserchief13]

The AFL should state to all the players and coaches what sayings are not acceptable, but they wont as they don't care if it wasn't public news

 

[Bagger72]

As suggested - the AFL fuelling the fire and the hordes of militant lunatics.

Nope not what I insinuated its what you interpreted. Country football is pro family and community

I dunno then, not accomodating homophobic slurs seems pretty pro-family and pro-community to me. Glad that we cleared that up.

Country football slurs all the time there are no special snowflakes on the ground.

Thought you just said country footy wasn’t pro homophobic slurs? Curious.

They are pro slur everything.

Who is he rumoured to have abused?

 

[Toump Ass]

But they already have a vilification and discrimination policy. Seems pretty easy to follow, too: only people I can think of who have breached it in the last 4 seasons are TayTay Walker and now Floglayson.

 

[Underarm]

Who is he rumoured to have abused?

An Essendon player.

 

[javaguice]

An Essendon player.

Thanks for clarifying, champion

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

An Essendon player.

Zero clarity.

 

[javaguice]

Obviously offended by the question

You are the flog, my friend.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Bigfooty would be a better place if Chief just banned any poster who uses the word “woke” unironically.

 

[javaguice]

I would have thought the insult get thrown around more commonly than just this instance. I'm curious about the uproar. It's a disgraceful comment but I'm wondering if there is something too it because said abused player might in fact be a homosexual.

Good precedent set by the afl but I find it funny that they bowed to social media pressure
