He meant it.
Lyon and Brayshaw knew he meant it.
It was an abhorrent thing to say.
For those excusing it as a storm in a teacup I'd say:
1. Do you really think saying it would be good to ejaculate on this woman is accepatable or appropriate? She was making a significant statement about a serious footy issue (A Tassie team in the AFL), backed up with a major PR campaign and $4m, and all Newman can do is get his rocks off on the fact that she is attractive and thus a target for his slimy gutter humour.
If she were your wife, or mother, or daughter would you think it was funny? Because she is someone's wife/mother/daughter.
2. This is not an isolated incident but rather yet another example of his crude, derogatory, arrogant and condescending attitude, towards anyone he doesn't know or "respect" and towards women in particular.
It has been going on for years and Channel 9 and the viewing public just keep accepting and excusing it.
I accept the response that I don't have to watch it. More often than not I don't because I find him so detestable, but every time I do put it on, there he is again, doing or saying something stupid, embarrassing, obnoxious or disgusting.
I do not find him the slightest bit funny. Obviously many people do, but a growing number clearly don't.
Newman is way past his use-by-date. He is an anachronism, a dinosaur of a former politically incorrect age when you could rip into whoever you wanted to with impunity. Just like the bullies of old who used position and fear to intimidate those who were different to them, Newman is a bully.
The constant attacks on Jason Dunstall are another example of his lack of true wit or humour or human decency. Newman was a good player. Dunstall was a champion who won several premierships and kicked over 1000 goals. He should not be subjected to these ridiculous and offensive on-going attacks and channel 9 should not be a party to it.
Sorry, I went on a bit there but I have had a problem with him for years and can't believe he is still getting away with the same old crap.
I know plenty of people will disagree with me but for what its worth that's my opinion.
Billy Brownless was better, not least because he doesn't take himself seriously.

HTFU... wait, I already said that.
