Re: AFL 2014
The Tassie venture for the AFL is going to shake up in 2 years any way. The AFL's preferred model is one team playing all the Tasmanian fixtures - however Hawthorn is unwilling to commit any more than their current number per year.

Seeing as the first was a result of the stress of having to hide the second, what's your point?yob wrote:Was being rounded up in a drug induced psychosis on a city street damaging to his endorsements, or only his big bad gayness?Boba Fett wrote:There was some speculation on Offsiders yesterday that Thorpe's management advised him to deny due to his extremely lucrative sponsorship deals in less progressive parts of the world. While being gay would almost certainly have not cost him a cent in Australia, the same could not be said for some other countries.
Terrible management if true.

Who forced him?
What part of the world were you talking about originally? Doesn't seem to have a name, but you want it to sound big.

Whatever. You just carry on thinking the worst of the world and everyone in it, and when you get to that place don't tell me about it (lest it be my fault).

Do you have to work hard at being offensive or does it come naturally?

Cut Yob some slack - he's got issues with having regular serves of dick with his knedliki and coffee.

"In Egypt, he converted to Islam, a religion that captured his attention in the aftermath of the 2001 September 11 tragedy"
He f***ing what?
That's like saying I got converted to Catholicism after seeing the IRA at work.

Re: AFL 2014
So, the MCC is simply acting within its contractual rights with the AFL then. I'm no lawyer, but it seems pretty clear the AFL can have all the tantrums it likes, but it hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Re: AFL 2014
It escapes me how these agreements are left unchallenged in Australia. It's black letter law in the US that a company cannot bully, or otherwise use its market power to bully another party out of doing business with its competitor. It's called Antitrust, and in America it's A Thing. Here we just assume it's the theatre of business - involving infrastructure we paid for, then effecitvely gave to people we have no power over, without our direct conesent.Boba Fett wrote: it seems pretty clear the AFL can have all the tantrums it likes
