Chris Gayle could face more sexism allegations after latest interview

Chris Gayle, the West Indies batsman, could face fresh allegations of sexism following lewd remarks made to a female journalist in an interview published by the Times this Saturday.

Gayle was widely condemned at the start of the year for asking the reporter Mel McLaughlin out on a date on live television when playing in Australia’s Big Bash League, saying: “Your eyes are beautiful, hopefully we can win this game and then we can have a drink after as well. Don’t blush, baby.”

And now speaking to Charlotte Edwardes, in an article published by the Times magazine, Gayle claims to have “a very, very big bat, the biggest in the wooooorld,” before adding: “You think you could lift it? You’d need two hands.”

According to the piece, Gayle goes on to ask Edwardes how many black men she has “had” before inquiring as to whether she has ever had a “t’eesome”. He then asks Edwardes if she dyes her hair while flicking his eyes downwards, according to her account of the exchange.

Later on in the interview he says “women should have equality and they do have equality. They have more than equality. Women can do what they want. Jamaican women are very vocal. They will let you know what time is it, for sure.”

With Gayle warming to his equality theme, Edwardes asks about sharing domestic duties such as cooking and looking after a baby and he adds: “No, that OK. [With a baby] then she doesn’t have to [cook]. We can stop and buy a meal. If she’s working, then the couple share. First person home, cooks.”

But, he adds, “women should please their man. When he comes home, food is on the table. Serious. You ask your husband what he likes and then you make it.”

On homophobia, however, Gayle said: “The culture I grew up in, gays were negative. [But] people can do whatever they want. You can’t tell someone how to live their life. It’s a free world.”

Gayle, who was fined Aus$10,000 in January by his employers Melbourne Renegades for the exchange with McLaughlin, is due to play in England this summer for Somerset in the NatWest T20 Blast, his second time at the county following a brief three-match spell last year.

Somerset’s chief executive, Guy Lavender, who said Gayle’s comments in January were “completely inappropriate”, declined to comment when contacted by the Guardian on Friday, having not read the Times interview, but added: “Broadly speaking, when he was with us he was fantastic both in terms of activities on and off the pitch.”

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

No lines crossed . Gayle stated facts. His bat is indeed heavy and she would probably need two hands to lift it .
Innocent question as to whether she ever participated in a three some. Same with she ever  had a black man

Gayle's gone from "don't blush" to talking about "threesomes with well hung black men".

This time next year he will be inviting journalists to his gynecology clinic.

Gayle responds with style:

www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1018659.html

"Don't hate me just because I'm not what you want me to be. Don't hate me because I'm not who you are. I am me and I am honest. I stand by my friends and my friends stand by me."

Among the most scathing critics of his actions was Rogers, the former Australia opening batsman who is also a team-mate of Gayle's at Somerset. Speaking on an ABC radio show shortly after the incident, Rogers accused Gayle of setting a bad example for his younger team-mates, adding that his was a "pattern of behaviour … [that] you see over and over".

In response, however, Gayle insinuated that Rogers was a hypocrite, and had acted more like "Roger Rabbit".

"Chris Rogers, how can you claim that when it was you and me at the bar most nights?" he wrote, "I'm not a snitch, but I've heard from your own mouth what you've done. Next time you want to open your mouth, maybe chew on a carrot instead."

As for Flintoff, who wrote on Twitter after the McLaughlin incident that Gayle had made himself look a bit of a "chop", Gayle suggested - slightly bizarrely - that his criticisms were invalidated because of Flintoff's own admission, in an interview last year, that he had once been run out in a Test match after taking Viagra.

"Freddie Flintstone, a young boy like you taking Viagra? Don't lecture me," wrote Gayle. "The only chop Freddie knows is when he used to bowl short to me and I would chop him past backward point for four."

Chappell, who had called for Gayle to face a world-wide ban following his comments, also came in for a rebuke.

"Ian Chappell, calling for me to be banned worldwide. Ian Chappell, a man who was once convicted of unlawful assault in the West Indies for punching a cricket official. Ian Chappell, how can you ban the Universe Boss? You'd have to ban cricket itself."

Sammy, however, chose to play down the latest row.
"Chris Gayle is the universe boss, a team-mate of mine who I admire and respect. I just think people target Chris for no reason.
"To me, Chris is one of our cricketing heroes. He's an entertainer, first, but a lot of people have jumped on his back," Sammy was quoted as saying by 'ESPNcricinfo'.

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now.
