Steve Tew: New Zealand ready for a gay All Black

Gunner

Someone is always offended about something these days.
 
I call some of my mates of different ethnicities names what could be seen as racist and vise versa. People are probably offended by it, but who gives a shit, it has nothing to do with them.
 
Re the stripper, I could guarantee she and every stripper under the sun have people try to grope them every time they're working. If you're going to take your clothes off in front of (usually) drunk strangers and wiggle your bits in their faces, with the specific intention of earning more money, surely putting up with the odd stray hand grabbing a feel of said bits comes with the job? And why only cry to the media when it's someone 'famous'? Nothing but attention seeking from all involved.
 
Here's a tip lady - if you don't like the hazards of your job, find yourself a new career.

Seems on-topic to me: how a New Zealand rugby franchise can undo all of its good will in four days.
 
Here's the latest from the Chiefs major sponsor...

Jesus fuck.
Dear Chiefs rugby: the whole 'lifetime to build, seconds to destroy' reputation thing is actually true.
And Margaret Comer: go fuck yourself. The stripper was not some random girl who walked around with her clothes off. She was a stripper, hired for a job. There are rules.
 
This woman-hating attitude is terrible PR, and rather ugly.

I wonder how much longer she'll be a trustee of Waikato Women's Refuge . . .

Ugh. That just makes it worse. Along with the fact that she oversees HR stuff at the Gallagher Group.

Exactly. One line about being concerned, investigating the allegations and further update to come = no problem. Instead they have a shitstorm, and only themselves to blame, for making the kind of extremely stupid comments that media LOVE.

Interesting it was a women at Gallagher that made the comment too, woulda made more sense to say 'go away, this isn't news', I seriously doubt they are gonna go to Stuff and break the news of canning a sponsorship

mate you need to know this woman. She makes me feel uncomfortable with her comments - and that's fcuking saying something!
 
first time I witnessed her in action I just assumed she was hammered. but no, that's just how she is!

That is one of the most unbelievable things I have ever read on TSF, I actually had to read your post twice!

I can't believe this story led the 6 pm news tonight. If Mad Mondays have been a tradition for Super rugby teams in the past they've obviously been uneventful. 
 
Hansen is right - time to get rid of them.

replace them with mild mondays

Clint is a bit of a contradiction at times but given that he is the coolest man to ever walk the planet that can be forgiven.

Rich white man never experiences racism therefore we are all pussies and should get over ourselves. Solid advice.

I am not sure if you have ever been to the rippers but that's not how it works in any civilised society. The rules are clear they can touch you cannot. Breaking that rule usually gets you kicked out, if you're lucky, and roughed up if you're not. It should get you arrested but because of this bullshit attitude that strippers are all sluts and deserve it the police probably don't take those kind of things as seriously as they should and the strippers probably don't feel they have the protections they deserve. 
 
Here is a tip for you, if you havent walked a mile in her clear heels don't push your puritan agenda on her. She has the right to do the job she chooses without being assaulted. If you can't keep your hands to yourself when you see a naked woman that is your issue not hers. Why should she work a checkout or be a lawyer if being a stripper gives her days off and pays more. Its none of your business why she chooses this job.
 
Now was she assaulted? I have no idea the truth will come out in the wash. But this idea that she "deserves it" or should "expect it" for being a stripper can fuck right off. When you hire a stripper you hire an entertainer not a slave to do with as you please.
 
Finally to the CEO and the HR lady do your fuckin jobs no one cares what you think about her morals. Answer the questions you can, and leave the bait for the fish. I am sure some of you will try and call this out for white knighting the girl. But honestly I am speaking out in protection of the industry, ask yourself do you really want to live in a world with no strippers?

How would you know if he has experienced racism or not??
 
Unless you are of the school that you cannot be racist towards whites?

I'm torn on this one really mooshld. I get what you're saying and basically agree with it. Her career choice, who's to judge it? Not me, that's for sure - but she HAS made that choice and HAS to know that things are not going to go by the rules all the time and therefore HAS to accept that such things are bound to happen in her career of choice. Rightly or wrongly. It's like playing rugby and then whining to all and sundry when you get a whack 'cos you're a 7 and constantly offside. I'm not for a minute suggesting she should put up with this sort of behaviour but it sure as hell shouldn't surprise her.
 
Young men, booze, testosterone. Naked girls. What could possibly go wrong?
