Did you just issue me with a breach notice?
The governing board of our autonomous collective shall consider your punishment.
A firm, but stern finger waving may be called for.
But seriously . . . having grown up in a rich multicultural area in Western Sydney . . . the khod has been a staple of lebbo's throughout my childhood. We Europeans didn't see it as overly offensive. Honestly, the first time I saw it, the first thing I thought of was turning your hand so it points down and adapting that finger configuration into my repertoire at the drive-in on Friday night.

Was considered bullying when he was at Tigers

Hope the Doggies are documenting all discussions and agreements made with Galvin on situations like this, otherwise we know if he needs to, he’ll use it against them in the future.
This is exactly the sort of thing I said when it was all happening at the Tigers, in an environment like a professional sports team, there has to be absolute trust between the player and the club, it’s not like a ‘normal’ workplace. I’m sure they’re not doing documented ‘return to work’ meetings when a player gets injured and misses a game, I’m sure they’re not doing Health and Safety investigations everytime a player gets injured (in the normal workplace an injury at work would invoke a full H&S investigation). However, if they don’t do all that stuff, and then the typical HR stuff like documented performance discussions etc, then theoretically, if something happens to the player (employee) that they don’t like, they can use those admin failures to their advantage from a legal perspective, which is exactly what Galvin was doing to the Tigers, and that makes him a risk to employ, because if things don’t go how he wants, his agent has proven he’ll be all over it.
