Rumour Jeremy Finlayson under investigation - 3 game suspension

[Engimal v3]

Ha my friend of 20 years been dating one for years i told him just admit your gay or at least Bi. The funny thing he hated gays posted on big footy about it and they were pretty bad post. The partner he is with has a Penis, short hair like a man but want to be known as a Woman.

I didn't realise we'd been friends that long

 

[Chamber JJJ]

Can someone please explain where the AFL get off making him go and do a Pride course?

That the funniest or can i say the most Fruitest of it all lol does he have to turn up with Assless Chaps it should be Law he does.

 

[Chief]

Take a break, little fella.

So he didn't say it to a gay person? He got 3 weeks just for saying it... to a straight guy?

It's about using a term that has been used by society to denigrate LGBT+ people for a very long time.

It's about equating being gay to low moral character. To bring worth less than straight people.

And yeah, I suppose, being heard to do it on national television while wearing your employers and sponsors logos, if I have it right.

And I get what you're saying- Whether he said it to a gay person or a straight person you believe the punishment should be the same?

I don't know. Maybe longer for saying it to a gay person. It's probably a question the answer to which requires more nuance than I possess.

The hypocrisy of this organisation is unbelievable he gets a 3 match ban and same thing happened to a follow coach and he got a slap on the wrist , why because his a bigger figure in the game. Utter bs the game is run by clowns and corruption.

AFL just sinking further down the drain.

 

[Gough]

AFL just sinking further down the drain.

Is suspending someone for a gay slur really going to sink the game? The woe is footy nonsense because of this is just ridiculous.

Actually I would have thought that the penalty for any such insult should have had a larger penalty/longer suspension attached as I've said previously.

My reply just before was based on there being a punishment for a lesser name being more harsh than a penalty for a more well known name.

Because that's never happened before either.

Hence the AFL being corrupt

Circle of life

You got that right couple weeks ago the incident at the dees and at clubs faking injuries to cover up a alarming issue, and what's happened to the umpires caught betting in games sweep it under the carpet utter corrupt.

Geez I would love to see a Venn diagram of everyone acting so outraged here with those who defend Islam killing LGBTQ folks by hog tying them and throwing them off tall buildings lol

"Islam is our future, it's the religion of peace, do you know how bad Christianity is omg ???? 800 years ago a Christian killed a bunch people, so evil ! When a Muslim executes a LBGTQ they do it out of love. Once Australia is an Islamic state we will truly live in paradise praise Allah"

Meanwhile... A non Muslim uses the "F" word against someone who isn't even gay: " Words are violence! You are literally killing gay people with WORDS!!!"

The paradox of the woke modern left

It's a lot of Wazza579531Q764 on Twix going off on a rant and not much else. ****ing Elon amplifies this so all the boomers think their opinion is in a majority.

They come here and can't handle that the actual majority opinion is a lot more measured.

What in the hell is this?

Honestly mate you went from "people are happier where I live" to full whack job rants about people where you DON'T live.

Take a breath and think.

I don't like bullying but it's one of those things that build strength and fortitude.

If we mould a mollycoddled world, we build soft people.
My workplace if full of them. Always calling is sick, etc.

It really doesn't.

It builds stunted, unhappy humans.

Yes and constant bullying can lead to lives bring destroyed and catastrophic consequences such as suicide.

Not needing specifics, but which industry?

I'm better for it.
I'm happy and strong. I don't think id be the person I am if I didn't.

 

[Chief]

I'm better for it.
I'm happy and strong. I don't think I'd have gained the wisdom and values I have if I didnt.

Really? You were belittled, excluded, mocked, assaulted... and that made you happier?

 

[Foxx]

All of those except physically assaulted.
I put up with a lot at school. I was the outcast after an incident that was not my doing.

After a year of it id built the strength to belt 2 kids, which ended it.

 

[Chief]

But wouldn't you be better off not having that happen to you in the first place?

I know my personality. Hard to explain but, being bullied keeps me keeping myself in line.
And keeps me pushing through hard times.

If it wasn't for that, I'd be soft in life and immature. I'd also be a prick to other people.

 

[Elixuh]

In regards to sanitising the game, your club has enough to worry about with a coach before the Human Rights Commission

Using that as a cheap gotcha

I get where you’re coming from

We’d all love to be stronger just by wishing it, but not how nature works.
Nature is defined by things that are stronger because they withstand stress and punishment.

A simple example, but I don’t enjoy being out of breath, or by having muscles that hurt, or feeling bad because an opponent knocked me in my ass.
But that’s how I become fitter, stronger and more athletic.

I’m not saying that I condone racism, sexism, or any discriminatory behaviour, not at all, like you I’ve been a victim to it.

But I’m not going to say that it didn’t ultimately make me a stronger person, in my opinion better equipped to deal with the things that are unavoidable in life like health or family issues.
