Dave Taylor

[Mr Angry]

Talyor is the classic example of attitude v potential.

Potentially could have been one of the all time best, had, size, speed and skill, however lacked the attitude and discipline to realise that potential.

Surely you can fat shame athletes FFS

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I'm way more offended that Molan thinks anyone is dumb enough to think it was an error or anything other than they were laughing at a fat guy.

When your mum sends you a text asking ‘Why did Dave Taylor send Erin Molan a picture of lounge. What does that mean?’

‘Dunno’ was my carefully thought out response.

Did you tell her that it was fake.

Nah it will prompt further questions. I’ll stay quiet on the matter.

I always love a laugh but that was plain wrong to fat shame Dave Taylor on national tv. People go through ups and downs of life. What if the guy committed suicide over this. What would happen if a woman was fat shamed instead? there would be outrage. Feel for the guy and I wish him all the best for his future. Work hard Dave and who knows where you can get again.

He won a game for us last year with a deft offload in the dying minutes against Saints.

Without Dave Taylor that embarrassing list of Raiders close losses would be one game longer.

if one of the jillaroos got fat shamed someone would have had to resign by now

Yeah...see...that's the thing about Dave...

Of course it's fake, but it's shot in the amateur style.

Oh you meant the tweet?

Equality FTW !!

I don't get it. What is the relevance of the couch?

Let's show how big Dave Taylor is now and all make a heap of fat jokes about it.........but it's not our intention to mock him. Surely no one is stupid enough to believe that shit.

 

[Reflector]

That couch and office looks very, very familiar.....

That was the couch and office Lachlan Murdoch and John Ribot used to interview every player who signed over to Superleague in '95. They told prospective players to sit on the couch, do as they said and in return they'd make them a star...in China.

that's where erin does her best work..

 

[Russell Coight]

Hes not fat hes just big boned

 

[Rhino_NQ]

it's glandular

 

[Frailty]

I'm honestly annoyed at the group arguing about how easily people get offended. This isn't even about that. We keep trying to push the message in schools that bullying is wrong, it shouldn't be done, and to speak up if the kids see it - but what good is that message if we freely accept it on free to air television? It's not a "won't somebody think of the children" argument, rather let's stop sending out bullshit mixed messaging.

Is he overweight? Yes, especially for an athlete. But the coverage that was put to air wasn't about critiquing how this is affecting his performance on the field - it was simply to make fun of him.
