2008 Footy Show Chat Thread

He didn't say it. He said people say it. Big difference.

However, he was pretty racist when he was talking about how alot of parents think it's dangerous to put their "Aussie" kids up against the "Islander" kids.

Just what the hell does he reckon the "Islander" Kids are? Indonesian?

that was poor form by fatty. a lot of polynesian kids are australian and basically he talked about them as though they have no right to be here.

It was seriously poor form from a bloke whose apparently been hosting an occasionally top rating show for over a decade now.

 

[forward pass]

Actually, I will go against what seems to be popular opinion and say I think Slater is always very good when discussing footy matters. He is much better than a lot of others.

I agree he was in poor form, but do you think he came across as saying similar to this?

Thats a load of sensationalist garbage.

Mate your a f**king idiot. Grow up and stop being so politically correct. Name one thing that Fatty did that was racist. By racist I mean he discriminated or differentiated based on race.

IT'S NOT RACIST TO DRAW ATTENTION TO RACE WHEN HE DREW ATTENTION TO BOTH AUSSIES AND POLYS.

Absolutely nothing.

Very true. He seems completely at ease in front of the camera.

Could see a career in it for him in the years to come after retirement.

fatty didnt meant to be racist at all, but i think it is racist to assume that the "aussies" are the white kids. why cant the polynesians be "aussies" as well? it may have sounded better if he said the polynesian kids develop earlier than the european or anglo-saxon kids. im sure there was absolutely no intent on fattys behalf.

The PR machine seems to have gone into overdrive here from you guys. Same type of PC crap happens after crowd violence at Dogs games.

SBW was the one making inflammatory statements not Paul Vautin. Don't try to use misdirection to shift focus to Fatty.

No, most certainly not.

You can say I'm being PC and all, but frankly, It's Little Faux Pas' like that that drag down the image of the game. What's so hard about simply observing a PC policy?

This 'Harden the f*ck up' attitude simply won't fly with bleating mothers and other people who hold the key to the games demographic popularity.

It's not really a 'League' in the Sense of the NFL, NRL or EPL, but the revenues raised by lowly clubs like Arizona are far in excess of some of the European powerhouses.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

[Cumberland Throw]

Yes Shane Crawford told robbo to lick his arse at the Logies after party... Robbo said he didn't want Sam Newmans sloppy seconds...

 

[wittyfan]

Jarrad Hickey can make me a cream pie anytime.

No, most certainly not.

PC is for fearful poofs.
