Crows Chat That 'Doesnt Deserve Its Own Thread' Thread part 2

They are public, high paid representatives of the club. I think it's reasonable to expect that anything that would generate controversy should be kept out of the public eye. As any organisation would expect for their important public facing employees

why would it generate controversy? Can you list some controversial lefties that players shouldn't instagram with?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The big question for ROB and his football is whether he has adopted an all meat diet.

I would like to see ROB take more marks than he drops...

 

[1970crow]

This is unintentionally hilarious.

got some names?

 

[1970crow]

I don't have Jordan Peterson on Facebook.

no, but no doubt you have a lot of crazies.

Any politician

 

[WetCrow1991]

no, but no doubt you have a lot of crazies.

No, I don't really use Facebook as I am not a boomer.

 

[kirky]

can you name a few controversial left figures that you'd also not want him posting on Insta with?

I don’t care about either left or right controversial figures on Instagram, I’m referring to one of our players highlighting it when we as a club are trying to fix our culture.

This isn’t a left or right issue ffs with regard to Riley. After all, he is in our leadership group.

Now just think for a moment at his next press conference this issue gets raise. I mean he could have attended, had his photo and no-one would have known.

And onto ignore you go.

It's not universally controversial though is it?

It's not like he's shaking hands with David Irving.

It's controversial to as you say, 'left leaning outlets and journalists'.

I’d like him, you know, to be a half decent ruckman.

so no photos with pectoral Pete or julia Gillard if they dropped by?

Being universally controversial isn't the point. It's about minimising any negative PR about the club

So you can't actually name a single controversial left figure and you've found yourself in a corner. Ignore is your friend as you know exactly where this was about to go.

what's it got to do with the club?

 

[Scorpus]

so no photos with pectoral Pete or julia Gillard if they dropped by?

Yep. Haven't you seen the complaints whenever sports players try to impose any political idea on general supporters?

 

[Scorpus]

what's it got to do with the club?

He's employed by the club and is paid to represent it

 

[1970crow]

do you remember this being controversial?

 

[1970crow]

He's employed by the club and is paid to represent it

so you think he should be sanctioned?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I'd prefer to not know anything about a players religion or politics and just judge them purely as footballers. Probably asking too much though given how things are these days.

 

[1970crow]

Yep. Haven't you seen the complaints whenever sports players try to impose any political idea on general supporters?

No, but I've seen the complaints when the sport's governing body does.

 

[Scorpus]

No, but I've seen the complaints when the sport's governing body does.

Pat Cummins was recently torched for his Alinta energy climate change spiel as an example

 

[Scorpus]

so you think he should be sanctioned?

A reminder would suffice

 

[skittlebrew]

Jordan Peterson is just your stock standard self help grifter that speaks on topics far outside his wheelhouse.

His more benign opinions amount to cleaning your room helps mental health. Truly groundbreaking stuff.

He's been a clinical psychologist for a long time and taught at a number of colleges including Harvard. What are the topics that are 'outside his wheelhouse'?

Cleaning your room is fantastic advice particularly because it applies to everyone not matter your circumstances.

 

[radiojake]

I'm just sick of Jordan Peterson videos coming up as suggestion/autoplay whenever I go on YouTube

It's like it's pegged me for a late 30s male and thinks "oh this guy is what most of you morons in your demographic watch, so here he is" - same with Joe Rogan

I'm not "offended" by them but reserve my right to think lowly of people who regularly listen to them

I get where you're coming from, players should be sensitive to left leaning media.

You're clearly coming from a view to just trying to avoid the bullshit, I get it.

I just dont think it's right.

We do have a lot of lefty mods…..
