Kevin Roberts has got to the top of Saatchi and Saatchi which is no mean feat and it looks like this bullshit might be the end of his career there and people can't understand why despite being a bloviating arseclown Trump got the nomination? Here's your answer right here. <br><br>
Bizarre to think there are people out there who think it's fine to drop the Chiefs player in it because " I wasn't offended but I thought other people might be offended". Ffs what a bloody shirt lifter. -
<p>Whilst I don't own that many shirts myself, I am offended by that statement Jegga, on behalf of anyone who owns lots of shirts. Lifted or otherwise.</p>

<p>as I grew up in Cologne, which is like gay central in Europe, I'm probably pretty oblivious to <strong>how hard some gay people have it</strong> growing up somewhere less open minded about these things.</p>

<p>It's good to see you getting right behind them.</p> -
<p>Its a tough one I think, I mean one the one hand get the fuck over yourself, on the other hand how stupid do you have to be to shout "look at the homo!" or whatever, in a very public place & think thats going to be OK? I guess the arguement is had he shouted "Here comes the N--r!" or Coconut, would that have been cool, even if his mate didn't mind? I've got a Pak friend I call chociolate face. Because she has a chocolate face, but I'm not stupid enough to shout "Whatta you want to drink chocolate face!" across a packed bar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the Roberts one, FFS thats just dumb by him, who gets to the head of a company like that & doesn't realise there's shit you just don't touch? I wouldn't fire him for not grovelling to chicks, I'd fire him for being a fucking idiot & screwing up the company's PR.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A lot of the arguement used now to defend the right to say whatever about chicks & gays & dirty foriegners are the same arguments I can remember from 30 years ago in NZ when it was cool to call Fijians coconuts & Indians curries.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ironically my boss called me a sheep fucker in a major meting the other day. No one batted an eyelid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Part of it does feel that white blokes have had an awesome run, but now its a level playing field rather than feeling that everyone else has been made equal to us, we feel something has been taken away from us. We don't see not being allowed to call our PA sugar tits as her leveling up to equal to us, but instead as if we've lost the right to call women sugar tits. After all its just bants.</p> -

The thing is Gollum, many blokes don't see it or have the ability to express how or what they are feeling, but more and more males are starting to think it has gone past a level playing field. -

I disagree that it should cost Roberts his job , he probably had a point about the woman he mentioned too.<br><br>
Having said that I've known some feral people in my time but I can't say I ever heard any of them call someone " chocolate face" it's not something I'd call a brown person either . -
I'm missing something with those Roberts comments. I see where he calls men idiotic and dinosaurs but given he is a man himself I'm not sure that is sexist? Where is the sexism there?<br><br>
If he wasn't already on the way out and likely financially no worse off by this move I imagine he would have a very strong wrongful termination lawsuit. -

Roberts comes across as a bit eccentric/fucking odd, I'm sure there are people who were gunning for him. Pretty sad that this was enough to do it though.<br><br>
Is Nigellas husband still working for them after choking her in public? -
<p>If Chiefs players want to go to town with strippers and whatever in a private party in a private location, shrug.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But a stripper at the Okoroire hot pools with members of the public around? That is just gross and fucking DUMB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a side note, I was on the side of the Chiefs CEO when he kept it factual around the stripper's accusation. As in 'she said this, independent witnesses said nope, case closed.' But then he went down the fuckwit path of "You have got to remember this is one person's accusation and <strong>her standing in the community and culpability is not beyond reproach</strong>," Flexman said.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Her 'standing in the community'?? Fuck off. Obviously nothing happened here, but strippers are entitled too a safe, non-threatening work environment same as everyone else.</p> -

<p>When asked if hiring strippers was a common incident within rugby at professional level or within the culture of rugby elsewhere, including club level, he replied: "I don't know. I mean, I don't hear of it."</p>

<p>The point of the question is, what? Are strippers illegal? As in the other thread, they don't float my boat, but c'mon!</p> -

<p>If he was offended or offended on behalf of others (as ridiculous as that seems), perhaps a better course of action would have been to approach the player directly or contact the Chiefs organisation rather than slander him as some kind of criminal on social media and in the media.</p>

<p>Don't be so silly. How else would he get himself on the news?!</p>
