HUN Turns Off Commenting on all AFLW Related Articles Until Further Notice.

[Herne Hill Hammer]

..story is posted up on their site now.

Reason given, too much trolling and just plain ordinary comments being received.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

As oppossed to the reasoned and logical comments on other topics?

 

[Lethality]

Meanwhile Basil Zempilas makes dick jokes about an exposed Adelaide player in the changerooms live on-air, and there are no consequences. Gil McLachlan blames male players when their nude photos are leaked and it all blows over. At least in the AFLW it's just internet trolls.

“Just internet trolls”.

meanwhile the comments were unprintable.

“the worst cannot be repeated they are so objectionable,” Herald Sun head of sport Matt Kitchin said.

Whilst it's fair enough regarding the obscene comments, and maybe the ones that are straight-out s**t canning it, one of the losers out of all this is AFLW.

Now it lives inside some kind of bubble (at the HS at least) - exempt from reasoned criticism and casual observations. Improvement and feedback only comes from within the AFL's self-invested think tanks.

It's a shame that the idiots who posted the garbage forced this to happen. I'd love AFLW to improve but if the only people whose opinions are listened to are those with paid commitments to promote it, then I'm not sure it will ever connect to its audience.

That's in keeping with their MO.

 

[NorthernBastard]

Small minded (and likely smelled dicked) bigots ruining it for the rest of us. Nothing wrong with level headed and reasonable critique of the women's game, but them comments are often vitriolic.

 

[blueboy25]

It's a shame its come to this but some of the comments on there were just atrocious.

 

[Ok Boomer]

The problem with AFLW is that is criticism no matter how well argued is treated as “trolling” or “sexism”.

Tayla Harris is set for life not for her footballing and other sporting abilities, but from her ability to be a victim.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I would love to hear about the actual players in the Hun rather than more whinge pieces from Hope.

 

[FRUMPY]

Criticise mens footy = ok
Criticise women's footy = trolling

Sexually objectify male footballers = ok
Sexually objectify female footballers = trollers

so rather than trying to solve the problem it is going to be ignored?

What kind of comments were made?

What kind of comments were made?

The Tayla Harris photo last year for example, there were comments about seeing her genitalia and what they would like to do etc etc

You may expect it from a group of teenage boys but these were guys in their 20s and 30's making comments.

Censorship achieves nothing.
But still the PC/leftist set keep using it.

Not many would consider newscorp as “left” either
