Unless you're David Gallop it seems.
Are you genuinely happy with having a CEO for our code who uses the word terrorist to describe a few fans booing at a sports event?
Unless you're David Gallop it seems.
Can you explain how its valid.
What are the "similar features" of people engaging in genuine terrorism (taking lives etc) and a few people booing at a sports event?
I'm trying to find even a tenuous link there.
Even Gallop has been forced to apologise for the unacceptable comments today.
He's admitted he's in the wrong. Are you still supporting the views he's admitted were wrong?

You can't admit you're in the wrong when you aren't. Gallop made a decision to apologise because of manufactured media pressure and illiterate outrage.
Terrorists act inappropriately and do bad things - They're passionate, it doesn't excuse it.
Storm act inappropriately and do bad things - They're passionate, it doesn't excuse it.
You see? Both are comparable, regardless of the severity of the 2 actions.
Interesting.
I was at the game and was booing Gallop for the following reasons:
1) His absolute refusal to try and grow the game in Victoria and stand up to channel 9 here
2) The ridiculous penalties handed out after Brookvale (1 week for Brett Stewart?????)
3) The "don't you just love monday night football" text to Searle when Titans beat us
I wasn't booing him for the salary cap issues, and I presume neither were the Knights fans in our row who were booing louder than anyone else.
He didn't use the word terrorist to "describe" a few (14,000) fans at a sporting event.
Would you like to point out where David Gallop says that Storm supporters are terrorists?
At no point did Gallop describe the Storm fans as terrorists.
At no point did Gallop describe the Storm fans behaviour as terrorist-like.
The NRL and Gallop haters are just clutching at straws. Get over it people.
:lol:
sure buddy
Why has he hastily released an extensive apology, saying his words were "not the best" if he has done nothing wrong?
At lest he's apologized, Where's the storms? Oh thats right it's all Waldrons fault.Why has he hastily released an extensive apology, saying his words were "not the best" if he has done nothing wrong?
Would you like to point out where I said that he said they ARE terrorists.

To appease whingers like you.
He simply insisted, that like terrorists, Storm fans were using the word "passion" to excuse their poor actions.
He wasn't insinuating that Storm fans strap bombs to themselves and suicide bomb a children's hospital.
The only problem I have with what Gallop said is that it is obviously too difficult for people like you to understand.
Again, where did I say he insinuated we strap bombs to ourselves?
Did you know that his comments made the sports news in the UK? Are the UK sports networks all storm fans who are 'haters' too?
Most people inside and outside the game clearly find his comments bizarre, laughable and unacceptable.
Except people blinded by Storm hatred like yourself.
