Oops Chris

Channel 10 execs would be loving this, as will BBL.

Victim blaming much?

"If she doesn't want to be r*ped, why is she wearing a short skirt".

Nice job demonstrating yet another example of this countries problem with women.

Now you are comparing this to rape

This goes for Gayle as well, who will plow on long after this has blown over

It does beg the question, if it's such a well established fact that Chris Gayle doesn't mind trying to have a crack at any female that takes his eye, what the hell is a female reporter doing interviewing him in the first place?

So if a sexist pig is playing all females should be banned ?
What if it's a male reporter and the player he's interviewing is gay and tries hitting onthe reporter ? Ban all male reporters as well

or Roz Kelly or Mel McLaughlin and Nerolie could be pro-active in shutting him down, and have strategies. How about instead of the eyes-gaze to undress you metaphorically, you meet his gaze, but more of a stare down, like before one of those MMA bouts. Give him an MMA stare-down with taut facial muscle pose and the clenched jaw.

Suggesting "they put the conditions together" is like blaming alcohol providers for assaults, rather than blaming the person who committed the assault.

I'd suggest that it's more like blaming both the person who committed the assault and also blaming the alcohol provider for giving a known violent drunk another beer.

It's a good point.

There was always going to be a good chance that Gayle was going to do what he did. Channel 10 rolled the dice and lost (or won - depending on how you look at it).

This guy might disagree at the moment

Yes. That's exactly what he did. A+ comprehension.

What if Channel 10 only threw Gayle under a bus when they discovered it was going to be a PR and SJW issue?

 

[Godchin]

Again, seriously?

Yes, I think Mel Jones was hired entirely for her cricket knowledge and not for her looks.

You disagree?

Oh please. As I said, if you're going to put a female reporter in front of a guy who has a track record of having a crack, what do you think is going to happen eventually?

Just because you would like to idealize that things should be a certain way, facts are they aren't. You'd like to think Mel could interview a player and not be come on to? Fair enough, and the vast majority of the time you wouldn't have anything to worry about.
But in this instance?

I ain't victim blaming anyway. It wasn't Mel's fault Gayle tried it on. But whoever put her in front of a known womanizer and someone who is also known to try it on with female journos has to know there is a strong possibility of something like this happening.

 

[CURVE]

Here's hoping Mel returns to commentary team tonight.

I didn't quite say there was no such bad thing as being in jail on numerous rape charges

Shit, I was thinking of Sarah Jones...

With all the talk about this i reckon channel 10 and big bash league will be receiving close to a few million $ worth of advertising exposure through publicity.

Not so sure about that. Could possibly cost Gayle a BBL contract next year, might have blow on effects to county cricket or other leagues. Definitely won't be asked to do any media gigs in Australia.

Its plain and simple for all to see

With the moral vacuum that is commercial television these days (ie anything for ratings), you could easily believe Channel 10 knew exactly what they were doing.

Maybe once Hamish McLennan leaves the network.

If you're so concerned about his intentions, have a listen to the link that multiple posters have put up where Neroli Meadows & Melinda Farrell both state that this is common and constant behaviour from Gayle that isn't meant as a joke but is intentional and disrespectful.

that has been indulged by the thousands of women who went up to his hotel suite with him.

It is neither Gayles fault, the willing sexual partners fault, nor the journalists fault. But this "outrage echo chamber" does not accurately portray the situation. How "offensive" can it be, if someone says they wish to look into your eyes, if someone calls you "baby". Have you not engaged in a transference, or counter-transference in what Gayle is "really saying" on a different level. So, he has was really slipping his hotel keys in Mel's pocket, with no concern about her single-status. And he said this "on air". And he has form, and he is pretty loose with his sexual partners and appetite.

So how different is he from Warnie?

Or Buddy Franklin?

Did you see him bat? Any BBL side in their right mind would take him in a heart beat. Sport is very forgiving (much to the disgust of feminazis

 

[demon21]

I understand what Gayle said is inappropriate but i still think there has been a massive overreaction and with these matters there is a massive double standards it isn't funny.

Where was this out cry when Sharapova asked a Journalist to repeat a question because she was just admiring his form, I guarantee if a guy said that there would be an uproar.

Or on those morning shows when they have male models on sometimes and the host go on about there body's and arms and stuff, But if its a female model and the guy tells her she has great legs and a great body how would that go down.

He's not, he's the most recent so

What Gayle did was not a crime.
