Buddy & Jack taunted by Mumford

[Industrial Fan]

I'm not asking if it's something you would have said or if it's a mature thing to say. I'm asking if you think he should have been sanctioned for saying he slept with someone's mum.

He didnt say he slept with someones mum, he called someones mum a slut. Deserved all he got, show some @@@@en respect and grow the f up.

[Industrial Fan]

No, he said he slept with someone's mum for half an hour last night.

Didn't you get banned for being an overly aggressive angry ant a few months back?

Yes.

Whilst we view the AFL as entertainment and like the physicality of the game, the players on the field are at their place of employment and working as professionals.

It's not about political correctness or toughening up. We don't want the univited personalised trash talk in society, we don't want our kids saying that crap to other players in junior leagues, so stamp it out in the senior leagues.

Whats with the passive aggressive comments? Didnt get the reply you hoped for eh?

Yes, but did he say his mother was wearing army boots???

[Industrial Fan]

Yes.

Interesting just from the point of view that that type of comment was pretty run of the mill on a footy field. Borderline plain stupid just to cause distraction.

The comments about Cornes daughter is clearly different to me as its been targeted to his personal situation but to me, saying you slept with my missus, mum etc is no different from chewy on your boot.

I'm sure the Minson one was presented in a sanitised way but I was more curious if people thought that should be a punishable. I don't think he said that on the way to lodge a Mensa application but personally it's too nanny state for my liking.

I'm not sure you know what passive aggressive is.

But you answered my question, thanks.

I said it was a good sanction.......what, not clear enough for you?

was more in reference to kilroys response than yours but would suggest taking it down a notch on the condescension if you want to discuss rather than lecture.

I was genuinely curious to see what your opinion would be. I see it differently but that doesn't mean you're wrong either.

Mummy has apologised to Buddy. Time to move on.

As someone who has battled the black dog for around 40 years and to some extent still do can I offer an opinion?
I want to say straight up that the Mumford comment made me grin. Did I find it offensive ? Not really, could I see how others might have taken offence ? Yes however the number of people who have chosen to be offended on Lances behalf is staggering. A key component in overcoming mental illness is accepting that you need help. Once that has happened the next stage is acceptance of the issue and facing this head on. Lance did this and bravely made a public statement about the issue.
By doing so he removed any power that others may have , or perceived that they had in using this against him.

Mental illness takes on many forms and it has been stated previously in this post that just knowing the feelings of one person with a mental illness doesn't mean that their feelings about the issue apply to 99.999999 % of sufferers who would be offended . To that I say check your statistics as I believe they are flawed. Try asking someone who does have a mental illness if they found it funny and let their response to that guide the extent of your outrage on their behalf. It is my experience that quite often people with a mental illness are some of the funniest people you will ever meet. I know I am ????

...the number of people who have chosen to be offended on Lances behalf is staggering.

But Buddy's reaction would suggest that yes, Lance was offended. Unless you think Buddy was just putting it on??

To me, he looked like he found the comment in poor form and didn't find it as amusing as you, hence it was offensive...

Then there is a classic sledge: Michael Voss calls out to brother Brett,"My father slept with your mother!" Brett got a behind.

You know modern society would be less outraged if people learn some respect and manners for a change.

Lance took it personally from his reaction and thats good enough for me to condone what Dumbford said.

I agree. Just because one or two people with MH issues find it funny, does not make it suddenly non offensive, just as it is inexcusable for a black person to use the 'n' word.......and also because having MH issues does not instantly eliminate one from being a d**khead bogan, if that's what they happen to be. You would think having MH issues would give people empathy towards others facing the same plight, apparently that is not the case, as we've witnessed here......
