Good one Fatty... Hopefully finally means RIP footy show

This will be out of the news cycle by this evening.

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

If he says it to people both white & indigenous how exactly is this racist?

And furthermore how is it Paul Vautin's responsibility to "close the gap"?

 

[Life's Good]

It's ok. Trump is heading for another 'grab em by the p*ssy' moment and the outrage can move on to that.

 

[myrrh ken]

He's dressed up as one of the farging three amigos replete with dirty moustache and you're offended he's asking a black fella if he's going to shout his relos a drink with his winnings?

I'm sure he would have asked anybody that. Maybe if he thought it through he might not have asked but it's pretty innocuous

 

[T-Boon]

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

The context Fatty was talking in was it is time to celebrate. Everyone who ever lived celebrates by drinking. If he deliberately picked out some thing particularly associated with Aboriginals (like chicken and southern americans) then yeah trouble. But this is too big a stretch.

 

[POPEYE]

Big f**king fuss over nothing . . . if you watch the footy show you deserve to be insulted

 

[Nice Beaver]

Another shining example of why Twitter is such a waste of f*cking space.

I swear people just comb television looking for something to be outraged about.

 

[The Enforcer]

Never could understand how they got so much mileage out of him and Brohman.

 

[Blues Riff]

We get this crap show late down here. I happened to catch this segment in the early hours. I took it as a comment to a young bloke who'd just won 6 grand. Apparently today's youth like to party.
Absolute beat-up by Williams and OP.

Thing that f**ked it for Fatty ol'mate was when he raised an eyebrow after no response from the audience, if he'd kept a straight face he would have survived his stupidity . . . if the bloke could hop he'd be road kill

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Geez people get off on being offended these days.

 

[Blues Riff]

I must admit I wasn't paying much attention. Seems insignificant compared to some of Beau Ryans stuff. Does he still mock the mentally ill and do Lebbo impersonations?

 

[legs 11]

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

c'mon moron...average footballers dont play for their country....what standard did u play at to be able to quote that? and as far as iq.....there's not many doctors amoungst foot players......or forum trolls

Too easy, nothing better than a nibble to keep the line out.

I liked the bit about average NRL players not being allowed to play for their country . . . where are you Albert, deserves a thread

 

[DiegoNT]

The death of The footy show?

Didn't they just win a logie 2 weeks ago

 

[beave]

That show winning a logie is like Maccas winning a peoples choice award for superb catering.

Depends. What sort of chicken ? Was it Northern Baked, Eastern Boiled, Western Roasted..........?

Totally this. Surely his stupid Mexican outfit is a bigger racial stereotype but no one mentions that. Anyway, if any of this bollocks is a catalyst for killing a show that is way past its use by date then fine by me.

 

[King hit]

Do people really expect quality television from a show hosted by Vautin and with Beau Ryan as the star
