Swans drama

On the understanding that nothing has been proven at this point, or anyone specifically charged of course.

I can’t say with out all the facts.

Glad it’s not us.

Supposedly Cocaine has been found in the room
The thing that shocked me most that in yesterday's interviews neither of the Swans officials apologised to the victim and it was the press that had to bring it up

Did that really shock you?
Football clubs have had a bad reputation for years for closing ranks around this sort of shit and looking to blame the victim.

The Herald Sun described the woman as “hysterical”. Not upset. Not distressed. Hysterical. That’s a loaded choice of words. “Hysterical” doesn’t simply describe an emotional reaction. It suggests that the woman’s reaction itself was irrational, excessive or unreasonable. It subtly shifts the focus from what happened to her to whether her response was acceptable. That’s low key victim blaming. Frame her as “hysterical”, and suddenly the story becomes about her behaviour rather than what she experienced.

Just saw Nick Kyrgios failed a drug test too and issued an apology....

Instantly thought, not surprised at all

What do you expect from a Murdoch paper,i am only surprised they haven't found a way to link it to a Labor government somehow.

Victim? Victim of what exactly,?

Victim? Victim of what exactly,?

Well, I am sure you know but to be clear..A victim is a person who suffers physical, emotional, or financial harm from a crime, an accident, an illness, or bad luck. The word also describes someone who has been tricked or cheated by another person, or an animal or person offered up as a religious sacrifice. I think using victim in this context is justifiable. Take your pick as to how she was victimised. Physical and emotional are two ways - unfortunately for her.

A "mystery white powder" in a hotel room, where have I heard this before? Someone might be getting a big fine (suspended of course).

Nick’s never been straight down a line.

Sorry I couldn’t help myself.

His mum spilt some salt and he’s just cleaning it up with a credit card and a $50.
