Interesting that all the female sports reporters from Fox (meadows, Jones et al) are the 'go to' people today on this.

Next we need Louise Ransome and Alana Smith (what happened to her) to pop a quote/similar experience.

You must be a hit with the ladies

That would be because Meadows, Jones and Yates all worked on the BBL when it was on Fox and so had the most interactions with Gayle. Don't think the others would have had much if any interaction with Gayle.

Thats completely different and you know it.
Male privilege is a physical advantage over women so men making these comments are an aggressive act.


I think trident is the greatest troll I have ever seen.

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"


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.


You are a master.

Flirting out of the blue on national television when she hasn't given you a hint is a tad bit unnecessary

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

I don't condone his actions and you can't blame her for being a victim. Unfortunately if the complaint was taken to the police or papers for the first incident this one wouldn't have happened.
