Oops Chris

[ManWithNoName]

One, she's works in the journalist and news industries, so she'll have more than a few female journalist colleagues, contacts and friends.

Two, being so heavily involved in the industry and if she or even other female (or even males) witnesses such a high amount of harassment, wouldn't she or at least one female journalist over the last 10-15 years speak out and help collaborate your claims about the amount of oppressive male harassment against females.

Three, she has very little to no reason to lie, she's says it doesn't happen really all that often and judging by her surprise and shock at the advances wasn't one of a female that cops sexual harassment every week or month.

Mountain out of a molehill.

One - So do all other female journalists who've come out and spoke of negative experiences.

Two - Possibly. But like Melinda said the other day, "it's something you put up with because nobody wants to be that girl. Nobody wants to be that girl in the Jamie Briggs scandal or you'd be jumping up and down all day"

Three - Could argue she has reason to lie in that she just wants to move on. I doubt that's the case but it's possible. But by that same measure, all the others have very little reason to lie also.

Only to brightsparks who think Gayle is the victim.

If they did a face to face interview during the game as per normal, they would kill any tension or animosity between each other.

The media haven't helped either party, given how hard they have ridden this story.

No I've got things to back it up. The experiences described by journalists and women over the last few days. That's what I've got. What have you got? Beyond "I work in offices and have never seen it"?

That's hearsay evidence which is yet to be tested.

If i get in front of a camera and say 'X happened' and you never saw it, will you treat that as having happened?

So apparently he's going to sue Fairfax over the allegation he exposed himself to a female employee during the World Cup.

There are some real charming comments on the Fox Sports Facebook page, including one with the comment 'Mel should be r*ped', amongst other victim blaming nonsense being posted.

If one person did, probably not.

When so many different people do, as has happened in this case, I'm inclined to believe them.

Plenty of morons in the world, but they aren't even close to the majority thankfully.

Well, if he is taking court action that means he will have to disclose everything that has occurred and prove that the allegations are false and have damaged him.

Defamation is a serious case, you can't invoke it and force the other side to prove it is true. it is the onus on Gayle to prove that it is false.

 

[NorthernLights]

And yes, the use of the term SJW immediately exposes people as knobs. Really should be a word filter for it.

How so? Just because you're offended at being called out as a morally sensitive PC sook

PC also exposes people as knobs. Just fyi.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

So you expose yourself as knob all the time?

 

[RAPPA]

And if many different females front the media and suggest that Gayle has been nothing but a gentleman in all of their interactions with him, what are you going to do?

Or what if the credibility of one or more of those 'many different people' you refer is tested, and it is determined that their statements are questionable?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Given I don't use the term "PC" unless others bring it up first, nope.

 

[DemonTim]

PC also exposes people as knobs. Just fyi.

But insulting people is such an endearing quality, hey?

 

[Andrew Mc]

If CA ban Gayle from the BBL I think it would do a lot more harm than good, the majority of BBL fans would not be happy about it and there may well be a backlash.

How many more years does he have in him, really? He doesn't really bowl anymore, and the other night he complained about the cold making his back hurt. He'd come out for maybe one more season.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

PC also exposes people as knobs. Just fyi.

What about 'over-sensitive douchebag'?

If, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if.

What if Chris Gayle wasn't a dick and none of this happened in the first place?

 

[ManWithNoName]

What about 'over-sensitive douchebag'?

More flog territory IMO.

Well that is the product of an unsound mind. It doesn't diminish Gayle's case for unfair treatment.

He'll drop it when he realises he's never playing here again after January. It's damage control until he leaves.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

So you expose your knob all the time?

I heard Chris gayle does*, allegedly.











It's sounds like a crock of crap to me.

Surely, this journo would have said something at the time of this happening.

Surely.

Why would he? If anything that's more reason to pursue it.

LOL it's a Facebook page, if you're expecting anyone with an IQ of over 100 posting in the comments section, then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

wait so gayle now allegedly pulled off his towel and asked the alleged victim is this what you are looking for? sounds like the start of a lousy porno

No, one of those individuals that jump on people that appear when a celebrity/famous people is on the ropes with sexual assault charges from dozens of women over a long time period looking for attention and a pay out.

These people are very rare, but do exist.
