@ad_lcw@SkullSpeedDeal Can't say Ive ever seen an AFL contract but it would be safe to say that conduct that jeopardising the reputation, viability or profitability of the employer would definitely be a breach of contract. Despite criminal charges their conduct has already caused the swans damage.
@janenaughtymum Think your experience may be somewhat confirmed by what you already believe my experience has been that the commentary has actually been far more balanced and if anything, women's rights have actually been reported far beyond a balanced opinion
@Aushiker@ShereleMoody Just because they can and have in the past is no guarantee they would be in this case. Not sure how relevant a finding on a canola seed importation case is in this context. for reference I don't claim to be a lawyer
@ad_lcw@SkullSpeedDeal I dare say the players would have admitted to drug use, under AFL rules clubs and officials are not permitted to disclose or publicly name players who have taken illicit drugs, and secondly if I had brought my employer this much brand damage I would have been sacked on monday.
Poasting aside, the way the progressive media and politicians have gone absolute crazy over the Swans Pullman incident has been nothing short of a disgrace.
The details of what happened that night seem murky at best, and to use it to create a morality crusade against "men's behaviour" may just backfire once everything is known.
The players are fukwits and deserve the sanctions handed down by the club.
However, if the point is that engaging in the services of a sex worker and taking drugs is morally or criminally wrong, then you should be open about that position.
@C_Corday Hardly surprising that a highly respected workplace lawyer would have a wealth of experience dealing with the type of behaviour experienced at the pullman
I’m getting a bit tired of the virtue signalling around the Sydney Swans story.
“I hope the women are okay.”
“We must respect women.”
“Think about the women involved.”
Yes. Of course.
But can we actually have a high IQ conversation about this?
The women involved were reportedly adult entertainers who had voluntarily agreed to go to a hotel room with professional footballers.
That doesn’t mean they consented to everything that happened there.
It doesn’t excuse inappropriate behaviour.
And if someone crossed a sexual or legal boundary, they should be held accountable. Simple.
But here’s the part nobody seems comfortable saying: Being a sex worker doesn’t remove your agency.
Adults make choices. Adults assess risk. Adults enter environments. Adults sometimes make decisions that have consequences.
We seem increasingly afraid to acknowledge that when the adult involved is a woman.
You can believe women deserve respect AND believe women have agency.
You can believe men should be held accountable AND believe women should be accountable for their own choices.
Those aren't contradictory positions.
And until we can hold multiple truths at once, we're not having a serious conversation about what actually happened.
We're just virtue signalling.
@OzSalmond@ShereleMoody Not defending anybody might I add, or their actions. Just defending their right to the presumption of innocence and opportunity to defend themselves
@OzSalmond@ShereleMoody Its a recognition that the actions of the players has lead someone to feel agreived and mistreated, bit different to admitting to a criminal offence. Thats the whole reason why we have a justice system
