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

[ed-grimley]

Fatty's facial expression when they came back to the panel after the game Wednesday was priceless.
Can't comment on his remark but I guess it reflected the normal lack of class and taste of this outdated show.

 

[ed-grimley]

The death of The footy show?

Didn't they just win a logie 2 weeks ago

Fatty gives good head i guess.

 

[OzDragon]

This is all too much for me. I need to retreat to my safe space.

 

[Bazal]

Firstly, The Footy Show is awful. Well, I assume it still is, I haven't watched it in about 5 years....

But FFS. People are offended by his small talk but give the fact that he's basically dressed in the Mexican equivalent of blackface a complete pass? Talk about getting selectively offended....and that's nothing against Joe Williams who is a fantastic human being, by the way.

You could equally say that if the recipient had been a white male in the usual NRL watching demographic the comment was offensive because he was implying all housoes are drunks. And that would be an equally long bow....nothing comment, nothing issue.

Imagine if Fatty said the complete opposite

'Soooo maaaate, congrats!! What are you going to do with the money, throw it in the bank account for a rainy day?'

Nekminnit

Joe Williams twitter -'Vautin implying that we don't have money in the bank, racist!!'

Vautin is that stupid, he probably wouldn't have realised the guy was indigenious and meant nothing by it.

Let the shit show finally die it's death.

 

[Cogburn]

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...

What a load of rubbish. Vautin meant nothing by it, move on.

 

[POPEYE]

What a load of rubbish. Vautin meant nothing by it, move on.

You should've joined on April 1st

That's.what.i.said..

My point was, intentions aside, a group of people were offended, means that it is offensive

 

[mave]

Some people get offended when others simply look at them.

The group of people mostly being wowsers like you looking to be offended on other people's behalf.

As a white Australian male I am offended that they found that offensive. Drinking alcohol is part of my culture and they have now offended my way of life.

There has to some reasonableness to it though. Its a long way away from comparing goodes to king kong.

Eg some people might find erin not covering up offensive. Actually.... probably a lot

 

[wibble]

Ahh the regressive left

'Let's bring equality by treating everyone differently'

Ummm...OK. Mixing up equality and equal treatment. Classic Hanson-esque right wing idiocy.

Given that everyone has such different circumstances, how could treating everyone equally even remotely result in equality?

Ask your left handed grand parents if having everyone write right handed (equal treatment) was at all equitable.

 

[myrrh ken]

Lets leave the left right bullshit to 4c, eh?

White people- telling black people what to be offended by ...

 

[macca_saint]

White people- telling black people what to be offended by ...

It's a waste of newspaper space in comparison to the real problems the indigenous community face.
Complaining about a stupid innocuous comment by a daft merkin like fatty just serves to trivialise the indigenous people's cause.

 

[Life's Good]

White people- telling black people what to be offended by ...

So all the posters here are white?? Have you met them all?? FMD.

when I saw RIP in the title, I thought it was referring to this:

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...

What's the history behind black face that has Australia's indigenous being offended by it?

 

[Brutus]

It's out of the newscycle expected.Time to move on.
