I see that Warren Ryan and David Morrow have been stood down for racist comments during the Bulldogs v Roosters game

Story on the Nine msn page

Must admit David Morrow is my favourite commentator but any racists comments can't be condoned
 
Direct Rasicm cannot disagree…

But the ABC are the frontrunners to the evil right wing push of political correctness and dangersous knit picking

The UN 's communication outlet controlled by the Bilderburg Group

They have communised our culture and society

Not the first time for these blokes …. They should know better.

Should bring all the red necks to the surface.

Not sure about the Wok , but David Morrow was in trouble mid season last season for something along the same lines

It may not be much to the majority but if it offends one person then it isn't right

They were quoting a movie Blake ,I'm not even sure what the movie was and Morrow said "and the old darkie says Quittin time " and Ryan said " Quittin time "

Its not much , but Morrow got in trouble last season for something he didn't realize went to air which had racial overtones where he was even doing an impersonation
 
I think last time Morrow told a joke when he thought he was off air but the mikes were still on, just plain bad luck. This time its just taking things way to far, what they said to me was not racism or being disrespectful.

I know the ABC have strict policies in place and are trying very hard to break down old practices, but in this case a quite word in their eye was all that was needed.

Maybe nine should snipe them to replace old red face
 
But why call him darkie

If it was aboriginal say aboriginal ,if it was a Maori say Maori if it was African American say African American

The darkie bit is what I have an issue with

Show some respect

Before any reckons I'm getting all PC , the last thing I want to see David Morrow gone because he is easily the best football commentator in this country and quite often I will turn the volume down on the TV and listen to Grandstand guys if it is live
 
Thank God, Wok is easily the most boring guy on radio. Yes, he has a great footy brain, but he's as exciting as dry toast. A couple weeks ago he says ''you said something to me at breakfast on the morning of the city-country game David, or was it the morning after, no it was the morning, no wait it was the morning after''. That was in the middle of the game, during the run of play btw. The guy has no concept of getting a point across quickly.

Hopefully they replace them with commentators who call the match play by play, and not just them talking with the ref in the background calling the tackle count.
 
David Morrow is a good commentator. Hard to imagine that he has been caught up in something like this again. The ABC seem to have much tougher restrictions on what goes to air as opposed to many other things that you hear on radio stations these days.
 
To put things into perspective, the quote is from Gone With The Wind, and the term 'darkie' is also from the movie, I'm relation to that specific quote.

So I don't believe it's racist at all… Just the usual PC bullshit from the ABC.

Funny how they have no trouble showing Chris Liley shows where he wears black face make up, but a quote from the most famous movie of all time is suddenly racist.

I think the whole thing is a tad over the top. Doug Mulray, a breakfast DJ on Triple M in Sydney during the 1980s, used to use that exact excerpt from the film when he signed off every morning and no one ever said anything about it then. Now, all of a sudden, it's racist??? Drawing a long bow there me thinks.

Oh and before anyone screams that I'm just another 'redneck' getting all up in arms about PC gone mad, I actually very much lean to the left in ideology and politics, as a rule.
 
lol does anyone watch 96.1 or kyle&jackie-o? they see crap 100x worse than this.

such an overreaction.
