Re: Who the HELL????
Great response from the club and players to this idiotic episode.
Maybe some good comes out of this - i.e. the players will start behaving like ;
a) Elite athletes,
b) Professionals,
c) Employees subject to usual standards that apply to the rest of us when representing the organisation that pays us.

Maybe its the "Saints" name that gets them going.mullet wrote:Had heard the story about Daniel Rich earlier today so went on herald sun website to see what the go is.
First I found "Saints sorry for Monday Madness" accompanied by a picture of stkilda players training.
Further down I find"Disabled man tells of AFL star attack" with a picture of a person in a wheel chair.
Sorry but why isnt the Brisbane lions name, and brand featured everywhere as ours was earlier this week.
And the apology from our players features ahead of this.
Wish we were afforded the same

Or possibly out of the 4 that underwent an autopsy one was murdered?

Re: Who the HELL????
Mark reminds me of those radical feminists that wanted the whole language changed to get rid of the word man, i.e chairperson, wymin etc.
No doubt well intentioned but get caught up in their own agenda and see discrimination where none exists,
Kind of "boy that cried wolf" situation where legitimate concerns get lost in the murkiness of their dogmatic pronouncements on things like semantics!

Re: Who the HELL????
I wonder which Lucky American Saint supporter refused to speak to the CEO when he was rung....
and the Rich story has been debunked by many---- as would someof the saints story if the socail media hasn;'t gotten hold of it.
Check for the facts first.

Re: Who the HELL????
So Markintheusa did you recieve a phone call from our CEO Michael Nettlefold and if so, what was the gist of the conversation, can I ask?
And were you prepared to accept his apology on behalf of the St Kilda Football Club?

Re: Who the HELL????
Here's a question for the "little person". Is it true that after being "lit on fire" you asked for the lighter then proceeded to continue the fun by lighting the shirt of one of the footballers? Not all is as it seems.
If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you.
Re: Who the HELL????
no the american supporter was far too busy and "upset" to take the call apparently.
Re: Who the HELL????
I won't be sharing any conversation I have with anyone at the club.
But I will say I fear for the moral compass of some people here. <edit for privacy> I wonder if Hitler had played for the Saints, would you be a Holocaust denier?

I actually think you should share your conversation with the club.markinUSA wrote:I won't be sharing any conversation I have with anyone at the club.

That way we'll have both sides of the incident.
If they rang you to try and either apologise or explain what the club has decided to do with the players, why not say so just as others have on this forum.
In relation to your response to Gail please don't turn this into a personal issue by trying compare "apples to oranges" one isolated but stupid incident to one of the darkest episodes in history.

I previously assumed markinUSA to be a dogmatic, vociferous zealot. I now assume him to be a ridiculous and distasteful moron.

Re: Who the HELL????
I didn't connect Clint to the Holocaust.
What I said is that given the absolute lack of ethics I've seen from so many people (both in messages and on the Board) I have lost all faith in this group of people's morals. And I said that I wondered what degree Gail's apologism for the club would extend.
It's ironic that people are now complaining of personal attacks: few such concerns have been raised with all the hostility directed towards me.
And it is doubly ironic that the term "moron" is directed towards me; a term soaked in disability history, as a way of devaluing people with cognitive impairments.
And given that I have such a low opinion of so many of you, and vice-versa, why on earth would I share my conversations with any club officials with you people?
(For the record, Hitler's regime started with the mass killing of disabled people. And disability abuse and disability hate today still falls back on references to Social Darwinism... even some of the direct messages/social media responses I've got have made reference to disabled people being parasites, useless, and so on... my opponents brought Hitler in to the discussions, not me).
