I see today that the esteemed Kevin Bartlett is suggesting a 12 month ban and a $50K fine for this utterly irresponsible incident.
This whole issue seriously shits me.
“tracy” says:
She said she had noticed a "rather inebriated" Martin drinking shots at the bar and going "in and out of the bathroom".
After telling him to reel in his boisterous behaviour, she said the midfielder became aggressive.
"He reacted extremely angrily and was very agitated, he began swearing at me and standing over me physically. It was extremely intimidating," she told Channel Seven.
So, there is a 24 year old having some drinks in a bar after a big day out at a music festival. At some point, the lovable Tracy decides that his drinking at the bar is somehow spoiling her night and this is very likely to be correct. So, rather than having a quiet word to the bar manager or other appropriate person, she confronts a drunken 24 year old and tells him to be quiet. I find it very unlikely that she did so with any level of politeness, in fact I would think she was probably quite aggressive in her tone and use of words.
Of course, being a place where people drink, each person escalated the aggressive and one had the upper hand of being able to threaten the other with a “dobbing in”.
Seriously, what is the world coming too. This is nothing. In fact, its systematic of the horrors of the social media fed moralists who think everyone has to pay for doing anything that some other person may not like or agree with. Thanks to social media, the world is turning into wowsers again.
Recently, a newspaper columnist was called a slut in a comment on a story she wrote. This bloke had a link on his facebook page to his employer’s page. So she dobbed him in and he got sacked. His comment was ill-advised, but explain to me why she has the right to seek out his employer and have him sacked !!
Stop the madness.
I am thinking or organising a posse, going to a pub, getting drunk and being loud. Anyone wanna join me? Could be the last time anyone is ever allowed to do it.
