Gayle actually apologised to her at the end of the interview on air. So no wonder the moral outrage will annoy him.

Plenty of opportunists out there looking to raise their profiles here with opinion pieces in the papers and on air.

Pfft - a tepid, non-apology which he broke off once he knew he was going to cop a bit more than a doff of the cap.

How do you reckon this would have gone down if the shoe was on the other foot and Meg Lanning or Elyse Perry started hitting on Andy Maher after they got out?

I'd say Meg and Elyse should take a break from the game as they are clearly overstressed. :D

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

Banning all the reporters? Now we are getting somewhere with this discussion.


This post officially wants to be traded to Collingwood.

but the context if we have seen in the past 24 months, a very aggressive form of feminism a Clementine Ford backlash version of feminism evo where they look to hit back in multiple levels higher retaliation... And this might be the context.

The context may also be, Mel McLaughlin has had it up to here, with sportsmen hitting on her, and flirting with her, and inviting her to come up to their room. Or, like Nerolie said, Gayle has form here, and sees women as a means to an end.

So has my darling Clementine said anything yet?

Surely she is outraged that this upper middle class cis-gendered tool of capitalism and member of the patriarchy dared to speak amorously to a member of the oppressed class.

Chappelli has always been progressive on social issues, much to a lot of peoples' surprise. He has been especially forward thinking in regards to racial issues. When he was the new captain of Australia, he told his players that he didn't mind a bit of banter with and about the opposition, but that he would not tolerate, in any way, any player bringing race into the sledging.

Oh. My. God. Did anyone listen to SEN the past hour when they were discussing this?

Admittedly it was Schibeci, Rodney Hogg, and a confused-sounding Smokey Dawson, so I wasn't exactly expecting a meeting of Mensa. But they managed to be sexist, racist, and virtually every other "ist" you can imagine.

Among the humdingers they came up with were:

* Asking Mel to go out was just the same as if he'd asked a male journo to go for a beer after the game.
* T20 is "fun and games", so Mel has to "expect" that kind of behaviour.
* Mel is an attractive female, so her primary function is eye candy and to be hit on.
* Gayle has form with being sleazy to women, so if Mel was surprised or upset, then it's her fault for not doing her research.
* Female journos shouldn't interview West Indies players "unless they know what they're getting in for". Cause, you know, all black men are randy womanisers who can't keep it in their pants for 5 minutes.

There was also a nice Audio Blackface with one of them pretending to be Gayle doing an interview with a male journo, to show how "harmless" it was.

Yeah. Real Classy. :thumbsu:

That's much worse than the actual incident.

Chris Gayle is a pathetic, moronic dickhead. No amount of justification can help to condone what he did last night. A woman was doing her job and he treated her with contempt. She was a nothing to him beyond a possible sexual conquest. The thrill of doing it on live TV would have been just that extra sweetener for Gayle and the bunch of Neanderthals watching, living their lives vicariously through him.

blackcat with his Warne, Buddy and Wilt Chamberlain comparisons thinking that private behavior and behavior on screen at a place of work are the same thing and his overuse of the word contretemps. Marto_ and his determination to call out PC behavior at every opportunity while thinking that people being outraged is something that must be stopped. krisholio14 who thinks that women should be kept out of Gayle's way so that he is not tempted to be a complete dick. Gayle changing his behavior does not appear to be an option in that world.
