Chicken video

[CureTheSane]

I'm one of those people who say this is a storm in a teacup.

But then on talking footy, they said that once you've seen it you change your mind.

If anyone has it and is happy to send it on, please PM me so I can see what all the fuss is about

Massive storm in a tea cup. It's about a rubber chicken and a dead chicken FFS.

Yep, storm in a tea cup!

I saw it and say it is more like drizzle in a tea cup.

I read the tea leaves and they say it's a tsunami of poor behavior.
FFS why can't these guys find something more constructive to do with their time. They are in a hugely privileged position and should know that everything that they do and say today is on the record.
And while I'm on the subject. Why do the keep getting referred to as "boys" - their grown men? Good to see the club ensured "the boys" were held accountable for their actions.

Here it is here.

Are people getting huffy about somebody sticking a rubber chicken inside a chicken bought at the supermarket?

Man footy has become so sponsor-obsessed (indeed you could say, sponsor-driven, look at the Swans banners these days) that you can't do anything any more.

If North lost a sponsor like Mazda over this affair, their club would be livid. And that is what all boils down to really. Footy clubs wanting to present themselves as "squeaky clean" & thus more lucrative to potential corporate suitors.

Still a player posting it on Facebook is kind of asking for trouble. To be honest I think clubs should instruct players to get off Facebook Twitter & other such sites because of their public status & potential to have their private lives because public knowledge by default. Half the Swans team is on Facebook. Some with private photos as well. Dangerous stuff to be honest when the Average Joe can access it all so easily.

... lucky Fatty Vautin didn't come across it first ... it would have featured on the NRL Footy Show by now, and probably improved their ratings!

Seriously though, I assume that they did not write or produce the "song" ... I found it more offensive than the juvenile attempt at humour, and I assume it is played on commercial radio, etc ... just like a lot of other purile rubbish that passes for "music" today.

Sadly, this whole thing is just a reflection of the intelligence and creativity of the North players when left to their own devices ... no more no less ... lucky for them they can play football a bit!

My god that was a severe over reaction. Thanks JF for posting it.

I've now almost lost all credibility for:
a) The melbourne media, particularly caro and the Footy classified crowd.
b) North Melbourne. Not that they ever had any. But to overreact to some guys having a laugh is a joke.
c) Mazda. They must really want out of the sponsorship deal.

Yeah, turn out to be a big storm in a teacup.
I'm sure there are a million people from local footy clubs with stories WAY worse than that.
Hell, I know of a few stories that are pretty bad, and I was never in a footy club.
