AFL to pay tribute to DV victims. And then induct Wayne CAREY into hall of fame. Is this a joke??????

[Terry]

All AFL games this weekend will pay tribute to domestic violence victims around Australia. This follows a spike in DV incidents this year.

And in other exciting news the AFL will soon induct Wayne Carey into their hall of fame. This is the bloke who has disgraced himself and his game with repeated domestic violence offences over a long period of time. Some people call this hypocrisy. The AFL calls this .........ummmm..............yeah..........well..........lost for words actually!!!!!!! Can someone get a quote from The Big Dill on this one??

This 'sport' has also dished up male role models Ricky Nixon, Ben Cousins and Gary Ablett snr. The latter of course left a young lady unconscious in a motel room after a drug binge. The young lady subsequently died.

And who can forget the St Kilda players who procured underage girls 'for a bit of fun' after a school visit. Just young blokes having fun anyone???

Absolute pillars of society this lot. Maybe the AFL should just pull its sanctimonious head in and educate its player rather than pontificate to the broader community. Or does brand protection and positive media trump moral decency? I think I know the answer to that.

wasn't there a fumbler who just got sacked by the kangaroos recently , but only after he bashed his missus up about 5 times ?


the AFL painting themselves as bastions in the fight against DV inflicted on women , when their sport provides most offenders in Australian sport

disgraceful

Thats great Fred. But its just another example of how the AFL worships the great god 'brand protection' above every single other metric in life. Had the recent spike in DV incidents not have happened they would have snuck him in for sure. Now they've read the room and will proclaim themselves the the all virtuous saviour of society. Rank hypocrisy!!!! 100% on brand for the stinking carcass of fumblehouse.

Once the current noise dims they will sneak the women beating AFL 'champion' into the hall of idiots for sure. Watch this space.
