Aboriginals don't drink?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

When I saw the headline I thought they were talking about beau ryan and his Street wank segment

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I dont watch it but does he say the same thing, or variation, to every winning contestant?

idiot

 

[El Diablo]

Joe Williams goes off about anything

wasn't it last year he was complaining of racist abuse at a game that he didn't even go to?

 

[Clifferd]

Lol is that all?

I thought it was going to be a petrol reference or something

Not really a funny gesture, but hardly enough to be sacked

doesnt really matter tho does it- if it was a black american and he asked if he was going to spend it on chicken would it be ok...?
hes trying to get a laugh out of an untrue stereotype that has no place in todays/anydays society.
atleast the crowd was spot on, not one laugh.

funny or not, its not helping to close the gap

 

[Tommy Smith]

Also don't watch the show but if he does say basically the same thing to every winning contestant then people need to lighten the f**k up.

Fatty is not racist and I'm sure the comment was in no way intended to be a racial slur.

But as usual its the 'outrage crowd' that are bringing race into it by suggesting that his comment was racially motivated.

Oh course it matters. There was nothing racist in what he said. It was discussed earlier in the show. Stop trying to be offended when there's nothing to offended by.

Apparently he does but let's not let that get in the way of this. People need something to be outraged by. Must be a slow news week.

Oh i agree. Dont get me wrong, the Footy Show is dead shittery.

Since it began I've liked making fun of people who watch the footy show so I'm in no position to criticise Fatty . . . an average footballer with a low IQ becoming a 'disciple for the faithful' deserves a little leeway

You really think that's what this was?

everyone drinks beer, everyone eats chicken.
But there is some things you don't say to certain people live on TV...

 

[kdalymc]

And of course I know that he didn't mean anything by it, it's not the point either- people still do black face without the intention of being racist, but don't no how wrong it is or why...

Ahh the regressive left

'Let's bring equality by treating everyone differently'

But who wins a bet and shouts a round of chicken?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Joe Williams does great work in the aboriginal community, the problem with people like him who are outraged over everything is that the actual good points he raises get lost in all the other shit.
