And of course Wilson is now milking every column inch she can out of it.

Link.

Quote:

Chief football writer for The Age Caroline Wilson has hit back at Collingwood president Eddie McGuire's "drowning" comments, saying she did not accept "sexist nonsense" was "jokey or banter".
Key points:

McGuire quipped on radio about the prospect of Wilson drowning during fundraiser
McGuire apologises, palms off comments as "banter"
AFL chief executive says apology is sufficient
'I don't accept that it's jokey or banter', Wilson writes

Last Monday, McGuire, North Melbourne president James Brayshaw and former AFL star Danny Frawley, quipped on radio about the prospect of Wilson drowning during the Big Freeze at the MCG — a fundraiser for motor neurone disease.

"I'll put in 10 grand straight away, make it 20. And if she stays under, 50. What do you reckon guys?" McGuire said.

McGuire has since apologised and played down the conversations as "banter".

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan condemned the comments but said an apology was sufficient and did not outline any punishment.

But Wilson — in her written commentary in The Age — said she did not view the "vile" remarks as "banter".

"It took me back to the old days of The Footy Show when the former host and Collingwood president would line me up in an occasionally vile and foul-mouthed way and enlist his colleagues in a series of sexist gang tackles," she wrote.

Eddie McGuire's disparaging comments about journalist Caroline Wilson should be put in context, and commentary around the issue needs to be more robust, deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop says.

The Collingwood president and broadcaster has publicly apologised for controversial on-air comments the AFL deemed disparaging and inappropriate, after saying he would pay $50,000 to see Wilson stay under a pool of iced water, before going on to describe Wilson as "like a black widow" spider.

"If we're going to take offence at every silly, offhand remark or attempt at humour, then we're not focusing on the really important issues of the day," Ms Bishop told reporters in Sydney on Monday.

I wonder why Ch 9 was covering it. The issue isnt really the comments, its more that Eddie once again can't take criticism.

Oohh Channel 7 covered it too.

(I listen to Sunrise every morning).

Eddie was pathetically trying everything to refrain from apologizing.

He was eventually made to though....by the powers above his swollen ego driven head. Roll Eyes

No I meant why Ch 9 were reporting on Bishop saying it's not that bad.

Ohh. Well Channel 7 also had a woman come onto the program to say it was all a beat up/not that bad.

Want to guess her name?

Here's a hint :

Her name starts with "P" and ends with "aulineHanson" Roll Eyes

There's a shock

Yeah. I rolled my eyes when it happened.

I'm sure Hanson would have said something entirely different had it been her and not Caroline Wilson.

Anyway...

Let's hope Eddie learns from his mistake.

And of course, those fools who laughed along with him at the time.

I don't think people see the bigger issue...

this has been simmering for years and years..

Caroline I the best AFL sports reporter in Aust

why?

because she doesn't sugarcoat anything...

she calls a spade a spade... a cheat a cheat etc and that rubs the "good ole boys" up the wrong way...

while others cover up or try and make light of bad disgusting behaviour from players Caroline calls it as it is 100%

its a fricken joke how these men pander to these players...

she has been putting up with male chauvinistic, misogynistic abuse for years..

and its bugger*** time it stopped... Angry

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Talk about a media beat up.... Does anyone seriously think that these men were really planning to drown this journalist? Only in the minds of the SJWs is this a threat. What these retards fail to realise is that by carrying on about this rubbish they are trivisalising real violence against women, but they are too ridiculously self righteous to realise it. Roll Eyes
