Non Footy Chat Thread II

I see what you did there.

My point really is that whilst Mark Taylor's nickname was Tubby, it would be out of line jeering at him every day about his weight, cracking jokes as he walked past towards the showers. Leaving packets of Tim Tams in his locker. Ordering him a Mansier "The Bro". After a while it becomes harassment and worse if it is coming from a place of racism.

Is that what happened with this guy? ..... I honestly haven't read all details ..... they went far beyound calling him chimp? (I would assume the odd monkey noise would go with it .... if you told people your nickname was fart, they'd probably make fart noises)

I think that many of us have taken an allegation of how a nickname came about as fact. We don't know if it was given to him and he reluctantly went along to so as not to rock the boat. There could be many reasons.

"Yet Lumumba's experiences have been corroborated by six of his teammates. Andrew Krakouer, Leon Davis, Chris Dawes, Chris Egan, Brent Macaffer and Shae McNamara have all registered public support."

I don't think it's wise to cast judgement from afar unless you were there or indeed, walked a mile in his shoes.

I see many on social media tossing out pragmatic tough-guy lines about this and that. Pretty bone headed if you ask me.

"This is my nickname but white people aren't allowed to use it." Sounds familiar

My Dad calls me a dirty daigo....I did ok. My mates Dad called him the little merkin.

It’s either the abc or Twitter with you.

Little point playing the man here.

My dad called me Fred

I dont know why

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I had a bit of a chuckle.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

My dad called me Fred

I dont know why

My dad and his brothers all call each other Fred. Maybe it was a thing.

 

[Gronk]

Ivor doesn’t post here. So your point is what ?

 

[strider]

That playing the man isnt reserved for forum posters?

 

[Gronk]

Ivor calls people who dont agree with him f**king psychopaths.

So keep going about playing the man.

I still think the embellishment beyond the word ‘tubby’ is a contestable analogy when it comes to old mate at Collingwood. My guess is that their culture was shit, but not disproportionately shit compared to other clubs. I think he’s egging the puddings slightly.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Nice legs on this Tomljanovic. She's going alright too.

Has he called you a f**king psychopath? And what preceded that?

 

[Gary Gutful]

That’s not how the world works. If merkins are going to accuse people of something that we all agree is hideous then it is fair and reasonable to request evidence.

It usually doesn’t take much for Ivor to pop his cookies and go on a rant. Gronk probably just said hello.

You’re right. Damn! That leg!

IALB loves the short shorts too
