Talking Footy

again, I dont know of a single AFL fan who seriously believes the AFL is some moral bastion. And by the AFL everyone fucking means HQ, not the entire league.

This is tortured syntax if I've ever seen it. You talk of a 'single AFL fan' but then in your usual eloquent style state, 'everyone fucking means HQ, not the entire league.' I would suggest not everyone, in fact hardly anyone, knows that when one talks about 'a single fan' they actually mean AFL HQ. The two terms are diametrically opposed. Thank you for your time.

There's a lot of AFL fans who believe the propaganda that AFL house produce .
The we are morally superior to other codes crap they like to chest beat about .

you only have to read BF to see the majority of fans either don't like AFL house, are very sceptical of it's actions, or see straight through it's chest beating. Sure, you may get a few who see only rainbows and butterflies but they would be in the minority. Of course you only see the minority as shown by your view about AFL fans and AFL expansion overseas

It's incredible they're at it again:

An AFL official has been forced to step down after several allegations of sexual harassment from female staff - the latest in a string of scandals for the code.
The man has allegedly been continually making inappropriate sexual comments to women in the office, the Herald Sun reported.
One woman initially came forward to management to reveal the harassment, before several others added their names to the case.

The man has allegedly been continually making inappropriate sexual comments to women in the office - the latest in a string of scandals for CEO Gillon McLaughlin (pictured) to deal with
The official stepped down last week after the women came forward.
It is not known how many women came forward and how long the alleged harassment took place.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the AFL for comment.
The incident is the latest in a scandalous year for AFL CEO Gillon McLaughlin and the league.
In July, diversity manager Ali Fahour quit after footage emerged brutally punching an opponent during a club football match.
He pleaded guilty to recklessly causing injury and stepped down from his role with the AFL.

High-ranking officials Simon Lethlean and Richard Simkiss were also forced to step down from their roles that same month after details of their affairs with junior female staff members emerged.
Lethlean was involved in an 'inappropriate' relationship with rugby union star Kurtley Beale's partner Maddi Blomberg, and allegedly told her he would leave his wife for her.
McLaughlin immediately stood up for Lethlean and Simkiss following their resignations, saying he they were 'high quality people'.

'I feel confident they'll get another chance.'

Kate Jenkins, a Carlton board member and Sex Discrimination Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission, said in a speech on Tuesday there must be a 'zero tolerance for sexual harassment.'

'In my experience, it is rarely 'one bad apple' within a workplace causing these issues, it is a broader, systemic tolerance of sexual harassment.'

The most telling quote is this from Kate Jenkins Sex Discrimination Commmissioner:

'In my experience, it is rarely 'one bad apple' within a workplace causing these issues, it is a broader, systemic tolerance of sexual harassment.'

Obviously this applies to Fumblehouse. This is what the great Wookie said about this years earlier atrocities:

"Everything he posted is scattered over a period of more than 20 fucking years and as such isnt indicative of anything at AFL house."

In light of today's further atrocity announcement does anyone wish to comment on this??

Sorry folks, had a slight IT malfunction. Here is the original article.

So no comment about the AFL having to sack a 3rd high ranking official from fumblehouse, in a few months, due to sexual harrassment??? This would appear to be rampant entrenched behaviour all around Silly Gilly. Does he walk into work with a cane and guide dog?

Maybe these fumble employees were hoping that it'd in usual fumble style
"All go away"
Be swept under the rug
Or hush money would keep the victims quiet .
Or the old fave ..look at RL & how they treat women ...we are the leaders in equality. Respect for women. Blah blah blah .

Sack'em all. This despicable behaviour is being uncovered on a regular basis now that the Weinstein fiasco has come to light. About time these pigs were held accountable for their actions.

I'd say that's the case. This happened last week and it's only come out now. This is AFL management 101. First there's the cover up and hope no one says anything. Then when it leaks it's damage control. They'll come out all sanctimonious on their soap box and the bubble dwellers will all nod in unison and Gilly will hope the caravan move's on. It's like herding sheep.

So the public should be promptly notified every time someone is sacking due to sexual harassment claims?

Of course the NRL is immune to such behaviour

Dear lord! It's a fukkin disgrace in there. And whilst our pc AFL fans scream "they should be sacked" they never question whether their fave organisation has mammoth systemic issues, it's not just the perpetrators, it's basically condoned throughout...


Herewith ur leaders attitude on sexual predators working at the top executive echelons of the league.

McLaughlin immediately stood up for Lethlean and Simkiss following their resignations, saying he thought they were 'high quality people'.

Should gils head roll? I think it's gotta be a definitive yes.
