The tone and purpose of the interview is completely different to why Gayle was interviewed in a cricket match.

But Fifi Box set the tone in that way. Brand wouldnt have had a clue what was coming other than he was being interviewed about an upcoming film. She proceeds to sleaze on him (something im sure he is used to) and he plays a long but didnt appear to enjoy it

 

[CarnDaTigg's]

Much as I think it's gone over the top it was pretty unprofessional and piss poor of Gayle to put her on the sport right on national TV.

That's undeniable.

Sharapova's one and Dwayne Bravos comments to Mel a few years ago were in my opinion a lot more acceptable.

Why? Both were also done on live tv?

 

[Feerits Elf]

I agree that until we hear her thoughts the entire thing is a massive beat up

You know she's under no obligation to make any public comment on this matter, right?

Of course she isn't. And im sure she is dying for this to die a quick death so she can move on as anyone else would in the situation but the SJW types wont allow that to happen (see dusty)

SJW, Keyboard Warriors, professionally outraged, PC gone mad, fun police..... Plenty of things to blame when somebody acts like a knob instead of the person acting like a knob.

I'm not talking about her specifically but more society as a whole. There was no stink when Cahill did something worse than Gayle. I agree that until we hear her thoughts the entire thing is a massive beat up (which her employer and various other media sources are looking to gain significant mileage from).

For a start her employer has come out and stated she was upset by it.

Fellow female sports journalist have come out in supporter of her and raised concerns about the wider issue and the fact that this is not the first time for Gayle, for other female journos and for Mel herself.

We don't really need her to confirm what has been said for it to be an issue. Fact is, she is reduced from being a professional journalist who earned her right to interview Gayle to being a piece of meat where her attractiveness becomes the issue rather than her job.

We have no context behind Cahill's incident and no knowledge about what offense was caused. Times change and just because people become emboldened to say 'enough' doesn't mean they weren't affect in previous instances. Duane Bravo turned an interview with someone else to send a message back to Mel in the studio about how beautiful she is. She looked embarrassed and kind of laughed it off at the time and Ricky Ponting called it uncomfortable so I guess the fact more wasn't made of that exonerates her of the race argument. Female journos today were talking about previous incidents they were involved in that they are tired of, but we didn't hear much about them at the time. One implicated Gayle but others were talking about the industry in general.

This is not about Gayle. He's just a catalyst to a wider discussion.

 

[Spitta Andretti]

And Mel hasn't said anything publicly about either. This is blowing up because others in the industry are conveying her thoughts and standing up for female sports reporters in general. Last time, this didn't happen.

You suggesting that she is fine with being objectified if it is white man but not a black man is ridiculous, defames her, and trivialises sexual harassment.

Asking somebody out for a drink constitutes objectification now?

I havent seen anyone here claim what Gayle did wasn't knobish. Harmless yes but certainly floggish

 

[2006_Eagles]

10k fine


loolz

 

[Spitta Andretti]

Fact is, she is reduced from being a professional journalist who earned her right to interview Gayle to being a piece of meat where her attractiveness becomes the issue rather than her job.

Fact is, that's how TV presenters are chosen. If a merit based selection was made for this particular job then the majority of leading candidates would be fat, hairy, ugly, sweaty men. TV presenters get the job based on how juicy "a piece of meat" they are.

Now if she was a newspaper reporter, or a radio broadcaster, you might have a point.

$10,000 fine would be spare change out of the chauffeur driven limousine console for Gayle....

Nice post but if there was a point in that wall of text i missed it. It is entirely about Gayle's actions and the MASSIVE overreaction that has followed by the media (the bloke has been fined $10k for a comment where no harm was done yet Cahill does worse and not a whisper). One is a white dinky di Aussie on the Weetbix Box the other is a Black "Playboy"

 

[dispute]

Here I was thinking an apology would be enough.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

No. She was at work, performing her duties on national TV. He chose to dismiss her job that she works hard at, and concentrate on her physical appeal and the prospect he might be able to go out with her.

Off air, job over ... men and women still court each other. Say Mel, heading to the pub after this, do you want catch up for a drink. Ball in her court, done and dusted.

But hey, beautiful eyes ... (yeah yeah you're flattered by my advance), don't blush baby ... while she is working and on the spot ... nah, he objectified her, reduced her to attractive woman rather than professional journalist.

I don't necessarily agree with journalists spilling the beans on a respectful request for a drink or dinner or a date when they aren't in work mod because how the hell else are you going to connect with somebody you are interested in? It's not the exclusive domain for women to invite men out so men should be made to feel bad for trying to genuinely look for a connection with the opposite sex.

That wasn't what this was about though.

What do you mean when you say "no harm was done"?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Soft. Should have suspended him.

Yes, you missed it .... and you always will.

Sorry im just going to tune out to your rants from now on

Mel, and other boundary riders would have made plenty of Interviews with many different players and I've never seen any of them disrespect them like Gayle last night. She was there as a journalist and presenter, not as the reward for a job well done.

But Fifi Box set the tone in that way. Brand wouldnt have had a clue what was coming other than he was being interviewed about an upcoming film. She proceeds to sleaze on him (something im sure he is used to) and he plays a long but didnt appear to enjoy it

He started the video asking her what her pr0n name was? Also from what I saw he was the one who came up to her, sat in her lap, kissed her on the cheek. He didn't look uncomfortable, and looked in control of the situation.

That wasn't what this was about though.

I strongly disagree. Yes, in principle, it is inappropriate to make a pass at someone while they are at work. Doing so is distracting and prevents them from performing their duties to the best of their ability, and additionally might humiliate them in front of their co-workers. I'm down with all that. But the fact is nobody bats an eyelid when this is done on a smaller level, like at a bar, or at a supermarket checkout. So to me it seems like white collar discrimination. How many millions of women, and probably men too, blue collar workers all around the world, have to deal with having passes made at them while at work? Where is the media outcry there, where is the $10,000 fine from the offender? Unless we go around making everybody pay the same penalty and suffer the same punishment, then there are no grounds for making Gayle do so. The law must be consistent for all, not privilege those with wealth and status such as TV interviewers while discriminating against obscure supermarket workers and bartenders.

You are the one using disgusting, disrespectful, sexist language. All Gayle did was ask her out for a drink! And here you are shoving words in his mouth. "The reward for a job well done". What evidence do you have that such a thought was running through Gayle's head? Absolutely none. Let's deal in facts and evidence please: "Your eyes are pretty. Let's go out for a drink. Don't blush baby" is a far, far cry from "Hey look at this fine bitch, I scored a hundred, I deserve to **** her now".

Seriously? Are you aware of Workplace Harassment and Sexual Harassment laws throughout the country?

Everybody is protected by this sort of thing, but not everybody has their humiliation compounded by it playing out in front of a live television audience.

Has Gayle been hung at Fed Square yet?

I like how in this post you pretend to care about women in normal jobs...

...Then in your immediate next post admit you don't give actually give a shit
