Rumour Multiple GWS players are set to be suspended to start the 2025 season after distasteful costumes and skits from their post-season function

[shiraz]

Sanctioned for reenacting a scene from an MA15 movie. What in the world?

 

[Underarm]

Nope it’s still on the person who is offended. If you are one of them that is then that’s on you to deal with it. Just because you get offended by something doesn’t mean the whole world should get offended by it.
You got 40 odd young men all together, none of them were offended or cared. Why then is it others who care? 40 players is a big number of people not to care or find it offensive.

Aren't you concerned that '40 young men' were able to find rape re enactments funny?

 

[Underarm]

Because they are banning players for PR like this yet continuing to take gambling companies money hand over fist despite the damage it does. The worst kind of hypocrites-worse than politicians. Just get out.

No they're banning players for re enacting rape for laughs. Keep up.

Would they have had this theme if WAGs had been present, and if not why not?

Make sure due diligence covers thespian tendencies when drafting talent. May end up costing weeks!

's punishment for ingesting drugs and passing out in a nightclub?

Or is that acceptable?

 

[MelbourneGWS]

What was he wearing?

I’ve been around a bit mate, what happens when 40 odd young men get together drinking will never surprise me. Seen and head of far far worse than what we are talking about here.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Bet ya none of the AFLW team gave a shit about it, until today

How about we take them at their word instead of reflexively disregarding the views of women?

Do better.

 

[Fabab]

As long as the gambling companies are okay. That is the most important thing.

We need that strong relationship to encourage kids to become addicts.

We get you don't like gambling companies but this isn't about them,are you trying to see how many times you can mention them in this thread?

 

[SC_Power]

FWIW, I've worked at a venue that Carr has held shows at, and staff are notified beforehand of potentially offensive content and can withdraw their availability for the event if they want. (And same for any similar events.)

I suspect this is commonplace.

I wonder what happens at cinemas.
Some really disgusting movies out there. I assume staff get the choice to not work, I wouldn’t have a clue.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Would they have had this theme if WAGs had been present, and if not why not?

Of course not, it’s a boys footy boys day.
Have you ever been to a mad Monday or end of season footy trip?

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Yeah trying to work out how Whitfield goes as a slave owner and gets away with a fine

I wonder if a player went as a pokies addict and simulated committing suicide what sort of punishment would be handed out?

 

[T2B_]

This isn't completely true for "public figures". They are treated differently under the legal system in these types of matters. Additionally, they would almost definitely have "public morality" clauses in their contracts.

Shitty thing is the AFL picks and chooses the public morality thing.

You'd think gambling would be the antithesis of public morality, but...

Straight to jail according to our newly appointed culture minister Andrew Dill-on

Which isn't okay. And when you have the opportunity to do something about it, you should.

 

[Jugada]

Even without knowing any specifics getting in shit for dressing up as the twin towers is insane

 

[Bagger72]

Its 100% ok if they are not breaking the law and just dressing up making fools of themselves/.

What was the AFL’s stance on Stengle being found paro outside the nightclub?

Don’t recall Dangerfield getting fined due to lack of leadership??

 

[SC_Power]

We get you don't like gambling companies but this isn't about them,are you trying to see how many times you can mention them in this thread?

It’s a relevant talking point though, just because you might not like it in the discussion.

We are, by far, the highest per capita gambling population in the world.
The link from problem gambling to domestic violence is proven and accepted.
The AFL are inextricably linked and identified by gambling revenue.

We need the AFL to take this as seriously as the GWS event.

 

[HairyO]

We get you don't like gambling companies but this isn't about them,are you trying to see how many times you can mention them in this thread?

You dont see a little bit of hypocrisy with the AFL taking issue with players misbehaving while raking in billions of dollars from gambling addicts and having no issue with kids being bombarded with gambing ads?

 

[Toump Ass]

Can someone remind me what was Tyson Stengle's punishment for ingesting drugs and passing out in a nightclub?

Going a bit too hard in the disco isn't very flattering but it's also not particularly offensive. On the other hand, simulating a sexual assault with a blow up doll is actually just a little bit offensive.

Do you see the difference?

 

[Underarm]

They're not making fun of themselves. They're making fun of victims of sexual abuse.

Do you see the difference?

Isn't one illegal and the other one legal? Do you see the difference? Or do we punish legal acts more than illegal ones?
