Thomass Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 So silly old Wheels gets an olde world type interview opportunity that he thought was hilarious Geggy O'Connor asks about his filly in the last "well Geggy she's got temperament issues...just like a woman hahaha" WTAF?? Didn't he get the Entain email about what's acceptable and wtf's not after Alan Sharrock's shocking racist comment on Auckland Cup day this year? Rodley "what chance Big Red?" Big Red "a mate out the back asked what chance..I said "he's black and he's old" he said "i'd rather be black" After this Entain sent Red a 'not acceptable to our standards" type email and Wheels should be getting one too this week Racist/sexist comments of any kind are simply not acceptable in this new Entain environment and female newcomers to the industry shouldn't have to listen to outright sexist/racist b/s from olde world trainers thinking they're funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 I find red headed women are the most temperamental and of they are Irish it just adds another dimension to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted November 11 Author Share Posted November 11 Yes Ginga jokes are hilarious and love a good Kerry joke too... the Kerry's find them hugely funny as well...in a pub setting Silly old Wheels and Big Red Sharrock were on live telly spouting out Casual Racism/Sexism with gay abandon Steph McKee's work setting where he told an Indian worker "it wouldn't matter if an Indian died, there would still be a billion left" is blatant racism more than casual Old school racing industry norms from the 70's have nothing to do with a backlash against 'PC' either Basic casual racism/sexism is the fuel that feeds outright racism and belittles those targeted Wheeler must have missed Entain's media training they funded after Sharrock got the DCM for racism on Auckland Cup day..but he more than likely ignored it Being olde school Cant wait for a female trainer, who didn't get the email either, to comment on a Gelding needing more racing...

Harden up 70's style you think? Generation alpha/z dont tolerate this kind of basic sexism b/s and she was astonished a well known legend of the turf was still promoting it Entain and the Racing Industry are targeting lost generation's to the sport and if you think ignoring basic racism/sexism in the hope they don't hear it you're deluded 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's levels of seriousness in anything It doesn't mean casual racism/sexism should be ignored...unless you think generation alpha/z should accept man boobed men commenting on their monthly supposed temperament issues BTW research shows that 'monthly' thing is b/s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical left wing wanker. You're probably still pining for your superstar prime minister who took off with her tail between her legs. I'm assuming you were quite ok with the Opposition police spokeshag disrespecting our head of state? Of course you were you prize pillock.

Special Agent Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 We can all say stupid things in the heat of the moment, and I can throw in the odd swear word, but I'd have thought the type of comments mentioned here would have come from trainers not so used to being in the limelight who are interviewed less. Not really what you would expect from those who are role models. These indiscretions aside, let us hope class and decorum in racing are not dead.

Class and decorum however, are becoming less visible in society generally, never mind racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we teach our youngsters to determine right and wrong and make their own opinions up rather than have the cancel or woke determine what is right or wrong.

If by 'woke' you are referring to its meaning according to Websters - “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” Then I hope that is exactly what we are teaching our youngsters to inform their decisions and opinions. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but then we can't dictate which side they take. For example Israel vs Palestine. Of course what is socially or racially "just" can be open to a wide interpretation. For example one side sees merit in the Treaty Principles Bill while some see it as such a threat that they need to bring Cities to a standstill to protest something that isn't even law. I don't see anything socially just with that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 It's like the other night at the local an elderly gentleman proclaimed that Trump was a terrible fascist. I asked what had he done that constituted fascism. Silence. I asked what was a fascist? Again silence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 Former Chief of Staff John Kelly should know Served the moron for 2 years, said "Hitler did some good things" and "put personal loyalty above the Constitution" Narcissist, fascist, egotist in charge of the 'free world' "we're going to protect women...whether they like it or not" We're fucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear that John Kellly has an axe to grind and also doesn't know what classifies a "fascist". The other question I asked the gentleman moaning in the local was - What action did Trump do during his last term that could be classified as fascist? Again....
