In the NYE thread I told everyone that I hoped privilege was a 2015 word. Seems like it's stuck with the clueless members of our increasingly PC and mentally retarded society.

So did she end up going for a drink with him?

Remember when that Australian female TV reporter made a quip to her male colleague on live TV inferring he had a small cock, and it was plastered all over the media as one of the funniest, wittiest things ever. Yet when Chris Gayle asks a woman out for a drink he is labelled a creep and pervert.

On the same network no less.

TBF Mel is married IIRC, that bloke is single I think (didn't have time to look at the article).

I never would've suspected it was a serious comment until I saw it came from Trident

Not going to bother with the sexism aspect because I can see people on here aren't going to have their minds changed about that.

But just ignore the gender issue - a sportsperson has decided to publicly embarass a reporter who was just trying to do their job in front of hundreds of thousands of people on national television. Gayle knows that it was very possible that he'd embarrass Mel because as Sydcro said, he's done it before in the Carribean T20. Gender aside, that seems like a pretty shit move to me and it's entirely deserving of condemnation.

Anyone trying to defend it is clearly far too hung up on 'social justice warriors' or their opposition to feminism to look at this objectively.

His comments were inappropriate and he will likely be punished for them, but this does not need to be the number one news article in Australia today. There are more important things to be worried about. It concerns me that Australians would find this to be the most important thing of the day. Its like that movie "Idiocracy"

Yep totally agree with you there (also Idiocracy is a great movie), but there are plenty of stupid stories that get unwarranted coverage. For example, that kid who ate a whole watermelon at the big bash a few days back was getting huge coverage, which is surely even crazier than the Gayle incident.

True. This stuff is getting worse.

I agree. Whilst it was completely out of order and should be sanctioned, its now becoming overblown and I get the feeling its starting to become a case of overreaction to a point of joyful humiliation of the black man.

if the world were to end tomorrow the media would prioritise tabloids over it

:lol: Ricey is trying so fucking hard. I honestly lol'd.

It is far from the first time Gayle has done this, he needs to stop doing it. It is totally uncalled for.

More worryingly is he has on a previous occasion tried to follow up a similar incident by approaching a female journalist after he made comments to her during a press conference to demand the suggested drinks.

Ad to that:

- The Kardashians, famous for being stupid
- Jersey Shore, famous for being stupid slutty drunks/sex pests
- Geordie Shore, famous for being stupid drunk whore Geordies
- Teen Mom, glorifying stupid people
- Kayne West, he's a cunt

But if it's OK for a female reporter to embarrass and humiliate a fellow male reporter and intimate he has a small c0ck in front of colleagues and millions of people and then laugh and high five about it and be the champagne of twitter afterwards? If this is the acceptable standard of Australian media then Chris Gayle said nothing inappropriate.

[edit; ignore]

Do you really find it that hard to get women to talk to you?

Will you guys shut up and actually think about how I feel? she's my gf ffs.

You wish brah :lol: ;)


Do your homework - Tara's a longtime fan of the game. Yes, she has disappointingly-shallow taste in dudes*(thought she'd been brought up better than that TBH), but she is definitely one of us.
