@FOXFOOTY do you actually consider these comments to be appropriate from Ben Dixon “If they can bruise some of the crows leading into their finals that’s a win for me”. Supporting a team is one thing, wishing injuries to the other team crosses a line imo. Totally unprofessional
The same ppl who crucified rankine for using an offensive word have no concerns about offending those with mental ill health by referring to it as an excuse. Ppl die everyday because they don’t feel able to seek help. The whole footy world talking about mh like this will do harm
Listening to the news and footy commentators today must be triggering for anyone with mental health issues. I can’t believe how poorly mental health is being referred to.
@swandane Can just see some poor person at home desperately struggling with their mental health read this and decide that they can’t speak out because people will see it as an excuse like you have. It’s a serious health issue. Language around mental health is as important. Do better.
@RalphyHeraldSun Using terms like “playing the mental health card” are as offensive to someone living with mental health issues as the term Rankine used is to the LGBTQ+ community. Do better.
@strangerous10 I haven’t been in meetings where everyone does their own acknowledgment but I do have multiple meetings per day where the acknowledgment is done. So I’m hearing it 5+ times per day. It’s also on our email signatures and intranet site. It loses meaning at a certain point.
@DjokerNole Tony Jones is an idiot. He’s not funny, says dumb offensive stuff every week on all shows he’s on. I don’t understand why channel 9 keep him. Time for a new generation of sports commentators
🚨🐶 DOG ON THE PITCH! 🚨🐶 You’ve just gotta see this.
Amazing scenes in Wellington as Phoenix captain Annalie Longo’s dog runs riot.
“This is indeed the best league in the world!” … Amen 😂
