Footballer Tayla Harris has called for the AFL to “fight back” against online bullying and harassment, offering to give up her wage to help combat discriminatory comments.

Harris publicly asked the AFL to employ a social media monitor and remove racist, homophobic and sexist posts in a series of tweets.
The Carlton forward made headlines in 2019 when a photo of her — dubbed “The Kick” — went viral after receiving a flood of crude, hateful comments

How about these people put their accounts on private? How hard is it to do that instead of expecting people to monitor the internet?

Maybe if you didn't expect everyone to kiss your feet on the internet this wouldn't be a problem
These athletes want open accounts so that they can get tonnes of likes and earn sponsorship money but then expect every comment to be favourable and positive.

I'm not condoning poor behaviour on the internet but how naive must you be to think you can rid the internet of everything that isn't nice?

Does she get boo'd during games?

 

[Turnover]

Guess being a big dumb forward applies to the women’s game aswell.

 

[raymond35]

Careful, you're not allowed to say anything negative about aflw players.
The brainwashing must continue uninterrupted.

 

[Swerving Irv]

If there's one thing Ms Harris is an expert in (hint- it ain't football), it's whinging, whining bitchiness. If it's too hot for you in the kitchen, clear out.

Happy to take praise not happy to take criticism

Another human animal looking for someone else to solve their own problem.

Desist discard ignore.
Put it down turn it off.
Teach your children well.

In this thread..... posters #exposing themselves as women haters/racists/homophobes.

What is wrong with Tayla asking the AFL to monitor their social media accounts and block those posting sexist/homophobic/racial abuse? Nothing, totally reasonable and something most big businesses have their SMM do. Did she ask anywhere for there to be a blanket ban on criticism? Don't see it anywhere.

Blocking abusive replies doesn't take away ANYTHING from your life and it improves that of others, makes them happier. Why would you want to prevent that?

I expect plenty of rational, well reasoned responses to this

 

[JP2]

As a white, heterosexual male I have some very strong opinions about how other people should respond to racist, homophobic and sexist abuse.

 

[Present Not Past]

Jesus wept. What the *'s wrong with racism, homophobia and sexism in social media?

Ah yes, the old ignore it and it will stop method which has worked so well for everything ever. The same method used by the cops before a guy set his wife and children on fire.

Isn't the kitchen where you think women should be though?

What a horrible example. Putting your account on private literally solves the problem

Indeed, it should definitely be the responsibility of the person being abused to leave to avoid the abuse, instead of the people doing the abuse to stop.

Why should someone have to put their account on private because cowards want to abuse people freely?

If you wanna start a thread asking the 100s of millions of people who post everyday to stop then go right ahead. Meanwhile I'll come up with an actual solution to her sooking.

While the internet exists people will say things you don't like. Why blame everyone else when you can deal with a problem yourself.

 

[GoldStandard]

If you abuse AFLW players, you're a Trump supporter.

Exactly! If you don't want to be the victim of abuse then just renounce every aspect of your public life and never leave your house again. It's her own fault for wanting to be good at a popular sport, really.

Don't like her sooking, don't read it. Isn't that your own advice to solve the problem?

Haha so you guys don't actually have counter arguments. Good to know.

Counter arguments are only required when there was a starting argument to respond to.

The only problem is who decides what's sexist/homophobic/racial abuse ? sometimes its obvious sure but a lot of the time its just people looking to be offended.

 

[B4Bear]

OP is an idiot.

His version of 'sooking' appears to be anyone who speaks up about s**t behaviour.

* that, people should speak up and the AFL in this instance should protect its players from on-line abuse as much as it can.

I wonder if the OP would have the guts to say this to her face?

 

[theyellowsash]

I don't think this thread has gone the way topkent expected. Perhaps instead of complaining about comments someone has made he should have simply ignored them and removed himself from the platform in which they were made, hoping they go away.
