<p>I've seen a painting of Trump. He's lying.</p> -
<p>Fuck me theres some bullshit on this thread.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This interview was a 2000 word deal in the Times. Stuff took 5 lines out of contect to the interview & used them to make their usual 200-word written for retards click bait. The actual article is excellent and you get a great over vierw of Gayle. So you don't get stuff like - </p>

<p>Gayle grew up with nothing in a shitty part of Jamacia. Shared a bed with 4 brothers & had a dad who made him play cricket to avoid gangs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not a huge Gayle fan, but in the serialisation in the Times he comes across surpsisingly well. Even when discussing Blushgate (he also points out his daughter actually called Chrisalina, which is dumb, but not as dumb as Blush). The level of hipocracy was highlighted in the serialisation too. He notes Chris Rogers saying he led guys astray & then mentions that Chris Rogers was the one guy guarenteed to be out drinking with him. Or Chappell saying he should be banned, the same Chappell who was once arrested for assault in the carribean etc...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This whole thread is driving off an utterly bullshit 200 word quote fest that is garbage. While yes, Gayle is a tool & he attitude to women is not great (tho' no different from almost all top sportsmen), the driver of this thread is bollocks. </p> -

<p>You missed the point of "spoilt children". It means those in life "at the top" so to speak, generally have little incentive to change unless they stand to lose something.</p>
<p>In Gayle's case, a hard core fan base, loads of women, money.....why change??</p>
<p>p.s. you must have been ranting hard, because your spelling has gone to shit.</p> -
<p>The two main arguments being espoused on here seem to be:-</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Chris Gayle displays sexist, misogynist views and seems a creep</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. The article and interview were a blatant put up, click bait job</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The two are not mutually exclusive.</p> -

<p>What really winds me up is that what Gayle seems to be guilty of is showing his true colours in public. As Gollum says, a number of top sportspeople treat women terribly. Ray Rice in an elevator, Todd Carney glassing his girlfriend, Kiwi rugby players smacking their wife - that sort of violence is a real issue. However, while that gets swept under the carpet, then we are free to manufacture some real outrage at relatively low level poor behaviour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have they heard of Wilt the Stilt? FFS, that guy has a section devoted to his love life (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilt_Chamberlain#Love_life'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilt_Chamberlain#Love_life</a>) </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm with Catogrande on this one, but fark me I'm uneasy about running Gayle out of the game for this and letting some of the genuine misogynists play top level sports.</p> -

<p>Ha, Wilt the Stilt.........supposedly dusts up 20,000 chicks and NOT ONE of them gets pregnant ? when ya do the maths on that it's over two chicks PER DAY.....and this is before Tinder was even invented.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm smelling complete bullshit on that one......</p> -
<p>That was Greg Bird who glassed his missus. And blamed it on his mate. And got off when she changed her story. And is playing Origin next week. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Todd Carney is just a dumb drunk. </p> -

<p>I can just picture Phil Gould crying on TV about how Bird was so stressed, so wound up by the pressure that he felt he had not choice but to alleviate the nagging the only way he knew how and subsequently blame his mate cos society had let him down by not showing him alternative outlets for his anger and aggression.</p> -

<p>Ahh the fern</p>

<p>"Gayle is sexist and his treatment and portrayal of women is disgusting and has no place in modern western society" "He's got a pole in a room and a jacuzzi and probably has pissed nekkid chicks enjoying themselves at his place - bloody sexist poor example of manhood that he is!" </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a mo, I must check on the off topic stuff to see if anyone has loaded more crutch shots of Stevie Nicks and drool over rooting TV stars who I'll never meet, but sheesh I have to be careful the wife doesn't see, lest she thinks I'm sexist and treating women as sex objects"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At least Gayle actually talked to the women he "disrespected"...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Must check in at that thread about how useless modern media is and how dumb people must be to thrive on this shit</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nevermind, just an observation looking up at high horses :)</p> -

<p>Excellent points made. Also pretty laughable to compare a bloke saying dodgy shit to women to various sports stars who depending on how far you delve are rapists ( Tyson ) murderers ( OJ Simpson ) into dodgy group sex/defecating in corridors/simulating sex with animals/common assault/tax evasion/drink driving ( insert any league/NFL player here )........</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some may point out a bit of a Gayle bias in my case ( disappointed in TR, Virg, M4L and NTA ) but I refute that by saying I have no issue with Tyson Fury saying the same sort of inflammatory shit just to get a reaction and I have no admiration for that bloke in the slightest.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, agree</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Objectively, Gayle makes a mess of being funny to Mel. Apologises officially, pays 10 grand for the mistake, reiterates that he got things wrong. And is vilified for years</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Adams does a similar thing, apologises and is really cool</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Second case, Gayle and Edwards are presumably in a room together conducting an interview. Gayle says so many things and she or the Times choose to publicise certain bits. Sure Gayle knows that everything from "good morning can I have some water" to "thanks bye" is going to be recorded but you know what, he doesn't give a fuck. he's living his life, and he doesn't need to toe the party line. Edwards made no mention of being threatened, so what's the crime again?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>People need to chill and resist the media tactics forming our opinions. We freely talk about how full of shit they are, yet gulp at so much bait they fling out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've met Gayle very briefly, handshake and hello mate by being the mate of his teammates. If I had the chance to hang with him or agree with the wife that he's sexist, I know which one I'd do - actually I'd do both :)</p> -
<p>What surprises me, is that people get surprised that people have wildly different opinions, morals and views on a wide range of things.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Despite the fact many of us would happily sit and have a beer with most of those here and talk shit (as we do here) I guarantee there would also be some you might meet and think what fucktard, not gonna invite him/her out again or man I'd like to punch him!</p> -
