Another Sam Thaiday dog act

[Spot On]

So how would the community have reacted if say Paul Gallen made the remark???

This is not a one off error of poor taste in 'humour' for Thaiday. He has a history of it. He has offended many people with this latest stupid remark. I can't believe the powers that be have again turned a blind eye to it/him.

The bloke just isn't funny and needs to be told by his coach, club and the NRL at the very least. Channel 9 could do themselves a favour and stop giving him a platform.

I have a lot of beautiful black woman in my life.

Let me tell you, being told they are only worth being a 'jungle fever' phase and that they aren't right because they aren't white by someone who was supposedly a leader in the indigenous community has not gone over well. It may seem like a harmless joke to some, but when you see what indigenous women have copped for decades, that these kind of comments still float around to portray black women as inferior to white women, that you can't bring a black girl home to the family etc you might understand the anger

Fair enough.

My question is why was this goose made a leader, including an ambassador of the deadly choices program in the first place?

His history on and off the field has shown him to have zero leadership capabilities.

Broncos are heavily involved in that program.

Broncos are heavily involved in that program.

But are they the ones who decide who are ambassadors?

I'd say they would have a say on who to put forward.
Using current origin and test player to promote healthy lifestyles seemed a logical thing to do, but i doubt sam will ever be used again for any indigenous promotional work

But what about the Darius?

Everyone please shed a tear for the cat.

Meanwhile, I nominate SMUG as LU's word for the month of March.

Has LU's "smug" produced a cloud ? I hope it doesn't collide with the cloud of smug from George Clooney's acceptance speech all those years ago (which i hear has finally made it's way to Straya). We could be in for a real shit-storm soon ... I better notify the bureau.

Can't believe Thaiday said that on tv lol what a f**king moron.

TPAs anyone!

 

[Tommy Smith]

"Jungle fever"

"if it ain't white it ain't right".

Pretty horrific comments. And to come from an Indigenous man he should be ashamed of himself.

 

[betcats]

TPAs anyone!

This is 100 percent what it would be.

 

[JamesRustle]

Inaccurate too. It's rainforest fever in Australia.

Can't believe the bloke said it any fora/arena at all. It's highly to disrespectful to all people

The bloke is an absolute clown, huge grub on the field and even bigger flog off the field.

Hearing he's been dropped as deadly choices ambassador, and so he should.

The footy show is a joke of a program, any show that stars Beau Ryan and Thaiday as their main comedy is rot.

 

[RazorRam0n]

As glad as I am Sam's sponsorship deal has been taken away from him, it will likely go to another Bronco in need of a contract upgrade.. If it goes to Roberts you know the system is completely f**ked

 

[myrrh ken]

Its not really shocking he said it. The cubicle incident is more of an insight into his pea brain.

But the Footy Show also should cop heat for airing it. It relies on putting a microphone in front of wannabe comedian merkins to get cheap laughs. Of course this crap is gonna happen.

What was Molan's reaction? To busy covering her own arse.

Which one of you Mods deleted my post, and why?
Whoever did that, you're a dickhead.

Good point.

That cringe worthy excuse for a TV show keeps giving a platform for these imbeciles to be "funny".

Beau Ryan is one of the most unfunny pricks to ever pass his stuff as comedy. Up there with Craig McLachlan (who could forget that stand up act....)

The only reason the Footy Show was funny was because the Professor from the Matty Johns Show used to write a lot of their stuff before jumping ship.

Agreed.
I don't believe anything you said had basis for deletion

 

[taipan]

This guy leads with his mouth, before his brain clicks into gear.Thinks he is funny,and plenty of times is offensive.
Some people should just keep their gob closed and stick to what they know.If Thaiday doesn't get it by now, he never will.Keep him off TV .He does more harm for rugby league by his mouth, than good.

Is "white men cant jump" racist? I think this is more to do with the way our society is than anything. Sam thaiday is allowed to like Caucasian girls over other ethnicities if he likes. He would of said it differently in hind sight. For years it was deemed ok for certain groups to be racist about there own culture and ok for rappers etc to be racist, but times are changing and Thaiday has learnt that the hard way. The media coverage has been over the top in my opinion but it's the nrl so not surprised. Sam has copped the punishment, let's move on.
