The off topic thread #2

[Bojan KantKick]

Yeah that's my thinking. My mate was suggesting I just finish it wherever I head but I figure sorting it out, getting a bit more seniority, and then shopping around makes more sense.

Yeah and you'll have a lot less time in your next role to study.

Who's seen the first Ep of west world?

I have no idea what's going on but it looks very interesting.

Yep. Really enjoyed it.

 

[jod23]

Will wait until the entire season of WestWorld is out. Then I shall binge.

The Age Sports journalist Rebecca Wilson has died. Only 54

some will be "happy" in the football world.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Wow didn't even know she had cancer.

Must've kept it secret.

 

[Cooldude]

Whatever we thought of her "journalism" it's very sad news, condolences

 

[Zidane98]

Condolences to the Wilson family.

 

[peternorth]

 

[peternorth]

the FFA have tweeted condolensces

 

[SM]

Some people are just scum, when a human being dies, show some remorse and reflection. Some utter trash comparing her to Hitler and saying people weren't sad when he died. Yes she wrote some controversial articles about the game of football here in Australia, but for Christ's sake.

Geez that's terrible.

 

[Zidane98]

Geez that's terrible.

Disgraceful. I wasn't a fan of her views but that's irrelevant when someone has passed away.

 

[peternorth]

exactly the bodys not even cold!

Why has a sports journalist divided so much opinion?

Why has a sports journalist divided so much opinion?

Calling A-League supporters terrorists, and releasing a list of confidential names of people who have been given ground bans.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

She should have disclosed information about a sex offender instead... they'd have made her a senator by now

 

[Cruyff14]

Why has a sports journalist divided so much opinion?

She listed the name of a large group of people who "rioted".

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Calling A-League supporters terrorists, and releasing a list of confidential names of people who have been given ground bans.

A bit of a controversial character then. I think people should say nothing in the immediate aftermath of a death if they haven't got anything good to say. reminds me of the things some said about thatcher in the immediate hours after the announcement of her death, which frankly said far more about the people making the disparaging comments than it did about Thatcher.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

She listed the name of a large group of people who "rioted".

Why was that deemed unacceptable?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

She listed the name of a large group of people who "rioted".

There's nothing wrong with that. Do something wrong and you shouldn't get protected for it. Named and shamed.

 

[SM]

Why was that deemed unacceptable?

They included the names of minors, and the list was meant to be confidential.

 

[Cruyff14]

There's nothing wrong with that. Do something wrong and you shouldn't get protected for it. Named and shamed.

It wasn't ethical to do what she did.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It wasn't ethical to do what she did.

Wasn't ethical or legal what Derryn Hinch did either. The public has now elected him into the upper house.

I have zero sympathy for rioters, vandals and graffiti 'artists'. You reap what you sow and if it takes a journalist doing something unethical to help remove hooliganism. So be it.

There is when they're minors and the list is legally protected mate.
