Rumour Nicky 'Elvis' Winmar set to play Jailhouse Rock

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

What is it with flogs like Crowley and Winmar beating women?

Crowley was always a flog but it's out of character for Winmar so that is sad situation.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Well if true this basically means his famous photo about Aboriginal equality won't ever be able to be used again unfortunately. It was a good message but the moment will be forever tainted now.

It would be like finding out that Robert Irwin enjoys setting houses on fire for fun. Sort of taints his conservation message.

Two seperate issues.One issue was standing up to racist scum Collingwood supporters who vilidied him for his skin colour, the other is domestic violence.

How do you figure it's out of character.

Do you know him personally or something?

Convicted of assaulting his ex-wife in 2000 and then a taxi driver in 2019.

Who knows what else he has been getting up to.

It's fine though, because of his background he is allowed to play to a different rule book

Don't spew racist bs. He's not getting away with anything. You and Sam Newman must be loving this.

I'm talking about how he has a statue despite having 2 previous violent criminal convictions.

Ben Cousins can't get in the Hall of Fame because he stalked a woman when he had drug-induced psychosis

It's really not out of character though is it mate, I mean he has previously crossed that line and been convicted of it.

Or is there a statute of limitations at play here? - 2000 was a long time ago after all.

Do we disregard that one and consider this one to be out of character? (Ignoring the other violent conviction from 6 years ago obviously...).

How many years on your sliding scale of shit blokery does old mate Benny need to wait until further indiscretions are 'out of character'?

Tough one isn't it.

Didn't know about the assaulting of his ex wife in 2000.

Interesting that they decided to give him a statue regardless.

 

[Kram]

Tried the (alleged) Ryan Crowley strategy of strangling his partner.
It's a shame cos he's done a lot for the game, particularly in Vic which was especially hostile territory for Indigenous players. Certainly deserves the time if does get convicted
What to do about the Optus stadium statue indeed.

Get rid of the statue.

it's a staggering decision. statue needs to go now.

Rubbish logic. If he were convicted of murder, the statue would go straight down. And you'd agree it needed to. You're purporting to separate the issues because you don't deem his offending sufficiently bad to tear down his legacy. That's fine, but you need to be honest about why you're disagreeing here.

Are you new here?

Aristotle Pickett: Indigenous or Richmond player = can never be in the wrong.

Just gave her a Christmas present mate stop being racist

 

[Whats a Battle]

Oh he got up to all sorts!

Don't think he ever throttled a woman but he was definitely knee deep in a river of shit for a while there.

He's had something of a character restoration over the last few years but don't worry, there are still people that like to make sure nobody forgets his past, so I think that will likely follow him for life - like it does with Carey, Ablett Snr and...well you get my point.

Even then some people still try and memory hole everything that happened with Ablett Snr, and he was probably the sickest individual the game has ever had (certainly of the higher profile players). And yes, before anyone mentions it, the faux religious hypocrisy just makes it all worse.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

After watching Nicky live for free in Nagambie and see his life tumble, it's sad to say but his legal team will use the basics.
Pokies hooked every cent
Alcoholism
CTE from football
Diabetes.
Racially unaccepted.
Good behaviour bond.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Shithouse person from all accounts

Massive alcoholic which I’m sure he’ll blame it on.

 

[Cam Payne]

Channel 7 will surely give him a tv presenter job when he's done paying his debt to society.

 

[voorhees]

such a shame to hear...
obviously has a problem with violence and needs to answer for it.

 

[Borussia Teeth]

It's terrible but if you read this thread people have referenced his finger pointing to his black skin, laughed and mocked the situation.

Not really, but we do point and laugh at you, though.

 

[Black Panther]

Nicky's been busy, also set to appear in court on another matter on Thursday

Charged with assaulting a woman to go with his stuff from earlier in the week

 

[Elixuh]

Crowley was always a flog but it's out of character for Winmar so that is sad situation.

Minimising DV is yuck.

 

[StackedHunch]

Minimising DV is yuck.

This is a guy who doesn't think Noah Balta did much wrong.

Or Marlion Pickett.

Indigenous or Tiger, play on.

You're one very small step away from victim blaming.

Did I offend you? Or were you offended on behalf of someone else?
