Great response from the club and players to this idiotic episode.

Maybe some good comes out of this - i.e. the players will start behaving like ;

a) Elite athletes,
b) Professionals,
c) Employees subject to usual standards that apply to the rest of us when representing the organisation that pays us.

That's quite low isn't seeing as wouldn't 100% of cerebral palsy sufferers that were murdered undergo an autopsy?

Or possibly out of the 4 that underwent an autopsy one was murdered?

Mark reminds me of those radical feminists that wanted the whole language changed to get rid of the word man, i.e chairperson, wymin etc.
No doubt well intentioned but get caught up in their own agenda and see discrimination where none exists,
Kind of "boy that cried wolf" situation where legitimate concerns get lost in the murkiness of their dogmatic pronouncements on things like semantics!

I wonder which Lucky American Saint supporter refused to speak to the CEO when he was rung....

and the Rich story has been debunked by many---- as would someof the saints story if the socail media hasn;'t gotten hold of it.

Check for the facts first.

So Markintheusa did you recieve a phone call from our CEO Michael Nettlefold and if so, what was the gist of the conversation, can I ask?

And were you prepared to accept his apology on behalf of the St Kilda Football Club?

Here's a question for the "little person". Is it true that after being "lit on fire" you asked for the lighter then proceeded to continue the fun by lighting the shirt of one of the footballers? Not all is as it seems.

I won't be sharing any conversation I have with anyone at the club.

But I will say I fear for the moral compass of some people here. <edit for privacy> I wonder if Hitler had played for the Saints, would you be a Holocaust denier?

I actually think you should share your conversation with the club.

That way we'll have both sides of the incident.

If they rang you to try and either apologise or explain what the club has decided to do with the players, why not say so just as others have on this forum.

In relation to your response to Gail please don't turn this into a personal issue by trying compare "apples to oranges" one isolated but stupid incident to one of the darkest episodes in history.

I previously assumed markinUSA to be a dogmatic, vociferous zealot. I now assume him to be a ridiculous and distasteful moron.

You're comparing Clint Jones to Hitler. Do you think that's a bit of a stretch?

New record. 30 pages before with hit Godwin's law

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

But with an absolute zealot and extremist in this thread was always going to happen.


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>)

Hitler would have loved Clint's blonde hair.

So there you have it, markintheusa thinks Clint Jones is the perp of the holocaust.

OMFG :roll: :roll: :roll:

So are we suggesting that Dwarves are like people with Cerebrel Palsy?
Or that anyone with a disability is the same as anyone else with a disability?
So if my little finger is chopped of I'll be in the same category as someone in a vegetive stage?

Predudice is largely caused by generalisation, and you are the person most guilty of generialising on this thread.

So it therefore follows that if Hitler had been disabled you would be defending him.

I didn't connect Clint to the Holocaust.
What I said is that given the absolute lack of ethics I've seen from so many people (both in messages and on the Board) I have lost all faith in this group of people's morals. And I said that I wondered what degree Gail's apologism for the club would extend.
It's ironic that people are now complaining of personal attacks: few such concerns have been raised with all the hostility directed towards me.
And it is doubly ironic that the term "moron" is directed towards me; a term soaked in disability history, as a way of devaluing people with cognitive impairments.

And given that I have such a low opinion of so many of you, and vice-versa, why on earth would I share my conversations with any club officials with you people?

(For the record, Hitler's regime started with the mass killing of disabled people. And disability abuse and disability hate today still falls back on references to Social Darwinism... even some of the direct messages/social media responses I've got have made reference to disabled people being parasites, useless, and so on... my opponents brought Hitler in to the discussions, not me).

Mordi I'm not sure that they were representing the organization. In fact I'm pretty sure this is their own time unless they are employed 24/7


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
