Harry O slur ...another gaff from Collingwood ?

Post: # 1340500Post beebarry »

A few weeks ago, blessed holy untouchable Harry " I want to meet Obama " O Brien strongly denied claims he had made a homophobic slur towards Tom Hawkins.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/o ... 2juca.html


Last night he is on the box all outraged and indignant about the McGuire / Goodes set of debacles ......

then today on SEN at about 245pm - from Nathan Buckley ....this....

"Talking to Harry yesterday about his tweet, and his slur against Tom Hawkins two weeks ago, and I felt like it was better to not offend the gay community by saying that Tom Hawkins... was fat. So that's disrespectful to an element of the community as well."

Is it just me or did we just find another outright LIE from Collingwood ?

Tell the truth O Brien ....you sexually vilified a player one day then cried a hundred tears when another player is abused, by both one of your supporters, and then your president.

LIAR LIAR LIAR ........

So what?

Even if O'brien did make some homophobic insult (which has been denied) it is nothing compared to the racism I have heard hurlwed at O'brien.

Even on this site last year there were references to O'Brien being an ape, and then some backtrack about his running style.

Are you trying to say that if O'Brien is a hypocrite that this makes racism toward him null and void?


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Are you saying two wrongs make a right? Or are you saying that some people (O'Brien, footballers, non-caucasians ??) don't have to be held to the same standards as everyone else?

You can't have it both ways, vilifying people is either not OK, or it is, which is it?

I meant it in a broad sense of vilification rather than saying one cancels another. I dont condone racism at all, however I also dont condone homophobia, and I cant stand sanctimonious HOB getting on the box and coming across as a victim on one issue, when on another issue, he called Hawkins a f*g and then lied about it .....its the integrity that I get upset about or moreso the complete lack thereof.

Gee just saw a reporter try and interview him at the airport and he was bumping and pushing the reporter. Bit silly Harry. I thought you were a peaceful person.

The truth is, regardless, there will always be something that offends someone. Everyone just needs to take a chill pill and harden up. WHat a bunch princesses people are becoming.

Harry is only relevant because he was born in Brazil and takes it upon himself to talk about what is in his mind socially relevant material.

If he could string a few words together that actually made sense, people might not giggle at him.

His molestation of the English language is ape-like

Is this online somewhere or are you just very good at remembering exactly what someone said?

Could have been a slip of the tongue by Buckley or it's not what he said.

I believe it shouldn't matter what colour your skin is. Everyone should be treated the same. And seriously, a lot worse things can happen than getting called names.
