Semi Radradra

[Twizzle]

how ironic, journos speculating about journos

 

[Twizzle]

this is a presumption of guilt imo

“It has to stop. It’s enough. It’s too much.

“The victims of domestic violence live with the impact of being hurt physically for the rest of their lives.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a superstar, or you’re on big money or you’re a really big deal. It is not OK, ever.”

Bullshit. It's a statement that it doesn't matter who you are, domestic violence is not ok and we need to put an end to it.

How on earth do you take that as a presumption of guilt?

 

[Gronk]

Molan was out of line so say that she believes in the presumption of innocence, but < insert rant>..

If she really meant that then you allow the matter to run its course before commenting.

Bullshit, its my opinion that its a presumption of guilt

How?

 

[Twizzle]

how is is not ?

this gives it away "It doesn’t matter if you’re a superstar, or you’re on big money or you’re a really big deal"

pretty easy to tell what she's thinking

It is not a presumption of guilt but it is no coincidence she said at the same time Semi was accused. And as I said before it doesn't seem to bother her too much when women make false claims

she said it just after Semi was accused

That the NRL has a history of giving superstar players too many chances???

she said it just after Semi was accused

Yes I know, she was certainly directing the statement towards Semi. But I don't think that means she is directly presuming guilt

 

[Twizzle]

well I saw it as a dig at Semi not the NRL

Why is she going to make an impassioned plea against domestic violence out of the blue? Should she have waited until a cocaine scandal? It was relevant and she said absolutely nothing wrong. She acknowledged that;

-Semi Radradra was innocent until proven otherwise
-Domestic violence is a huge issue
-The NRL has a history of giving plenty of chances to big name players
-If we are truly going to stop domestic violence in the NRL, that history has to change.

She didn't presume guilt, it's nonsense to assume otherwise. She didn't attack Semi. She simply said, at a time when a star NRL player had been charged with domestic violence offences, that domestic violence needs to be taken very seriously.

lip service, she had to say that

yeah, as soon as Semi was accused

coincidence ?

if she said it prior, you'd have a case

 

[strider]

Was it white ribbon round when she said it?

FFS, what catalyst was there for domestic violence discussion without the charges against Semi? It was a discussion of the charges at the time. When is she supposed to talk about it?

I'm going to make an impassioned plea against NRL players using date rape drugs. It's not relevant now but it's potentially going to be relevant over the next twenty years so what the hell...?

 

[Noise]

Why is she going to make an impassioned plea against domestic violence out of the blue?

Why not? Isn't it an issue at all times or only when NRL players get accused, rightly or wrongly?

 

[Bazal]

Why not? Isn't it an issue at all times or only when NRL players get accused, rightly or wrongly?

of course it is. But what place does it have on a show discussing NRL without the charges being laid against Semi?

She is on an NRL show. She joined in a relevant discussion about an NRL player who had been charged with an offence. How terribly awful of her.

Where is the outrage about the discussion of drug use in the NRL the last week or so? Oddly silent....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It would have been nice if Erin Molan came out and took a strong stand against those women who blatantly lied about getting assaulted by SKD and Hazem El Mazri and dragged their names through the mud.

Why would you expect a woman to speak out about an issue that doesn't affect them? It's like expecting Muslims to speak out against terrorism, or white men to speak out against racism and sexism.

What? All we have heard about for the last week is the outrage of drug use in the NRL. And 2 of those cases have admitted guilt
