Jackson threatens young journo

[gocatsgo]

This is only rumour, but I heard about this earlier today.

A week or so ago when the AFL anounced that VW would be the sponsor for the ball the story broke that if you spun it around fast you could see a swastika. An illusion created by VW to adhere to then NAZI politics in 1930s Germany.

A young Journo for the Herald-Sun was the person to find this out, after obviously doing some research and/or overhearing a conversation.

The next day, the story was reported in the Herald-Sun.

Allegedly early the day of the story appearing in the paper, Wayne Jackson telephoned the journo and threatened him with his job by telling him that he was having lunch with Lachlan Murdoch (the owner of the paper) and he would be discussing this story at length.

Apparently Murdoch dismissed this out of hand as the story is infact true.

To Wayne Jackson: If this rumour (and it is only rumour) is true, who the hell do you think you are threatening a young journo with his job? You are in absolutely no position to do this especially since the story was true.

sounds like that immature brat Jackson to me...

he should be threatening Mike Sheahan for bringing the game into direpute (over buckleys placing in top 50)

I don't think even a work experience kid on his first day would be scared of a Wayne Jackson threat.

What's your problem scumbag? I used to do this all the time to those gutter snipe media harlots!

One of my mates grandfathers was a nazi in the second world war
and apparantly the connection to early VW logos and the swastika are true

not really the thing u want on a footy is it?

Apparently the logo has a had minor chnages that don't produce the swastika when spun. that is what I heard anyway, can't remember where.

I had a bit of a look at the logo today, and yeah, I can see the resemblance between it and a Swastika...

I doubt anyone's going to be paying that much close attention to the logo on the ball during play anyway... it's spinning at a fair speed... I doubt it would produce anything more than a blur, let alone a Swastika
