<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>Fuck me theres some bullshit on this thread.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </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>Ahh the fern</p>
<p> </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> -

<p>Good point. If we want to give Gayle a taste of his own medicine we just need to set him up for an interview with MN5.</p> -
