Different context, still boils down to being rude.
You canât be rude to Ian Botham or Piers Morgan. Doesnât fall within the definition of ârudeâ.
I actually just really donât get it. In no way do I endorse any comments about players wives etc, but arenât kids taught to just ignore those kinds of comments basically their whole lives?
What makes a supposed professional athlete take those comments to heart? Like, surely on top of the physical training to be a world class athlete thereâs also mental / emotional assistance and training.
Just pathetic all round.
If only there was a way that these people could be placed in some kind of event or contest which allowed them to prove who is betterâŚ
Perhaps itâs a cultural thing.
Like a clip behind the ear is nothing to an AFL player and an ankle tap is nothing to an NRL player.
Iâm being kind.
I really think I am.
AndâŚI also think Iâm being sucked in.
You know what, this is complete bullshit.
Warner called a batsman a â â â â â â â sook.
Noob called Warnerâs wife a â â â â .
These things are not comparable.

Theyâre comparable due to the fact that they are both quite pathetic if you think about it.
I mean seriously, calling someone a sook? Ffs, grow up. Hereâs a thought, how about you fking morons do what you are paid to do and play cricket well enough to beat the other team without childish insulting of each other?
In this day and age of mental illness awareness and all the struggles we see professional athletes having, on top of the bullying epidemic that leads to so many youth suicides it amazes me that professional athletes need to call each other names.
Itâs pathetic, and one day soon it will lead to the suicide of a player before they realise just how fking hypocritical they all are.
Sorry, donât agree.
Like I said, maybe itâs a cultural thing.
Maybe itâs an age thing.
Maybe itâs just a personal thing.
When I played footy I used to laugh at mum sledges.
âYou donât know my mum. And if you did youâd be asking for her sausage rolls. Please.â
I think the moment you talk about a manâs wife or child, thoughâŚlook, you donât know what youâre going to get back.
It might be nothing.
It might be a whole frigginâ lot.
But if you make the call to go there, you donât â â â â â if itâs a whole frigginâ lot.
Thatâs the risk you take.
And you certainly donât goâŚâOh, but he called me a sook!â
ffsâŚ
Well if the sledging has done nothing else it has achieved one thing - welcome back to posting @reboot
You canât be rude to Ian Botham or Piers Morgan. Doesnât fall within the definition of ârudeâ.
Is your argument here really that sledging wasnât something Chappelli ever did? That every quotable sledge from Marsh, from Lillee, from Chappelli himself is just made up? I canât really stand I Chappell, and stuff like this is exactly why.
The only problem here is that weâre hearing aboot it; and weâre only hearing about it because the South Africans copped a beating on the field.
I do agree with you Vince.
But todayâs society encourages anyone âvilifiedâ to become a whistle-blower and out the perpetrator. The old adage of âsticks & stonesâ, is no longer acceptable.
Now the sad part of this is that, you can call me anything you like and even if untrue, I donât give a fark. But call many younger people today names, even in jest, can land you in court. For me it has never been the names, but the actions afterwards that are the issue.
And I challenge anyone to call any of my ex-Wives any worse names than I have. The current Mrs Fox can also handle herself exceedingly well when it comes to massive retribution.
Renshaw with his 3rd ton in as many Shield games. Keeping Bancroft honest at a bare minimum.
WA off to a disastrous start chasing 300 odd v Queensland
I started watching less than 10 minutes ago as Philippe got caught at slip to make it 1-13
Since then, Wells 2, Short 7 and Stoinis 0 all outâŚall caught in the cordon or by the keeper.
4-16
Apparently crowd members in Port Elizabeth turning up with Sonny Bill Williams masks on. This is going to be next level banter. I reckon Warner could go a member of the crowd like Big Merv did when we toured Sth Africa in 1994.

Heâs made his bed, now heâs got to lie in it.
Wasnât the problem with regards to SBW they did it in a public place rather than a bed.
Warner shouldnât play.
Simple as that.
Looks like the banana benders will be hosting the SS final. WA have folded like a deck of cards
Must be time to kill off the Sheffield Shield final. Its a farce.

Bunch of â â â â â â â morons if this occurs. Itâs all well and good to go after Warner, but there are three other people that will be affected by that - SB, SBâs wife and Candice Warner. These idiots need to stop, think and show some empathy.
Rain falling in PE. The big covers are on, looks like a late start. ď¸
