How about this for a scenario;

Bloke and his girl are walking on a beach. As a dare and with no one else within sight, she takes her top off and he takes a photo without her knowing. The pair split up and he posts the photos online.

Who's in the wrong? The girl for exposing herself in public or the bloke for taking and posting the photo?

Relate every aspect of that scenario to what the Telegraph have done and suddenly every single aspect is much much worse. But the fact they're football players changes who the innocent one is apparently.

The man is in the wrong because as a result of his actions she is less likely to take her top off at the beach next time which is not okay.

The Doggies "Kennel" forum discusses this topic at length, and in a refreshingly frank manner.
There, they call a merkin a merkin, and not a merkin like we do.
It's good for a laugh.

The Telecrap is designed braindead simpletons who just need to be outraged at something otherwise they can't function. Fortunately for them, their braindead simpleton "journalists" are very adept at providing that for them.

This would be a complete non-issue if it were a female sports team, in fact, the outrage would be well and truly on the DT for publishing said images

Todd was talking tough yesterday demanding the Bulldogs have a report on his desk within 24 hours. It’s pretty much 36 hours later and nothing said about this report.
Todd is like the big bad wolf outside the brick out built by the little pig, all huff and puff

“I wrote in my column [today], Peter Beattie the ARL Commissioner is in Perth as we speak. Today he met with the Premier of Western Australia trying to get them to commit funding to the NRL.

And his words to me were, ‘It’s embarrassing, I look like a goose’. He walks in asking for money and when they say, ‘Oh rugby league, let’s see what’s happening in rugby league?’, they see this.”

He doesn't need any assistance there

DT have put mad Monday titties in the paper a few years back with the Sharks.

Just don't question who was footing the bill for the waitress

Best point you've made so far, well done. Thought I had an answer to the previous posts, but this is definitely revenge porn IMO

The only rebuttal I have off the top of my head is that the photos published by the Tele had the wedding tackle blacked out, therefore not intimate pictures.

Had a few ripper Mad Monday's when I was in nsw cup where much worse happened. Passers by never recognised many players though just the fringe first graders maybe. I genuinely don't know what the fuss is about

I read the first page to gauge the tone. Can't be bothered to read the rest but the short version is Yep, the vermin masquerading as journos are a big part of the problem but they are also a modern reality so the players, who demanded a big slice of the pie as genuine partners in the game, have let the game down badly.

I heard where Beattie was in WA asking the government for money and this is all anyone wants to talk about.

FFS, we're a billion dollar game and these fws are doing untold damage to it.

$100k fine at least for the dogs.
