The real problem is that the mock outrage over the pettiest of 'scandals', really overshadows and trivialises real social issues and genuine 'scandals' involving sportsmen.stinger wrote:especially when a filth player is mates with a thug killer and rides around in a car with him whilst he fires off the odd shot.....ffs.....the world's gone pc made ....Johnny Member wrote:When was the last time a chick passed out due to having her drink spiked at a Saints club function??!!Dave Robicheaux wrote:if it happens at other clubs, its still no reason for letting bad behaviour go at ours y'all

I don't have a problem with the joke per se, except that there does seem to be a double standard at play here. Case in point: that Rita lady on SEN who went on and on about how morally corrupt St Kilda is and how she retracted her comments about Lyon's treachery due to our misogynistic culture. Now, I am old enough to realise that to have a phone in show on radio you need to discuss something that is not just topical, but something which will raise the hackles of all the reactionaries who call up SEN all the time. Not once did she give credit where credit is due for the act, Channel 9 and The Footy Show who choreographed it.
Interestingly, she also went on and on about how much she loves "Mick" in the same program.
Act was in bad taste to be sure, but another case with which to highlight the double standard in the media which is this, if St. Kilda do it, bad, if other clubs do it, not great but they will sort it out properly as they have a good (i.e. winning) "culture". The Geelong drugs case was an excellent example of this hypocrisy. Where was the apology for dragging our club and it's players' names through the mud when the girl in question finally admitted she made up most of her story that she was feeding the media?

Now I'm sure some will jump on here and say we're just trying to make excuses, but that's not what it's about.
Our players were silly to agree to do the selected act on the players revue.
But if the act was so offensive then those who devised it, and televised it, should share the wrath.
