The Lawsuit ... Gayle fights back

Quote:There is much evidence where women make very lewd comments which men would not get away with.

An older woman can make comments about young men and it is seen as banter so it is quite true we are not on alevel playing field.

dont you know women rule the world?

Seriously,  Regardless of who did it or did worse and regardless of said penalty.  The bottom line is Gayle was clearly out of order with his comments.

He got his fine, time to move on.

Why are we still having this convo after almost 2 weeks of this being stuffed down our throats via TV, radio and social media? ...

I am so done with it and most of the Aussie public are ... as per their comments in response to the media !!!

I know exactly what you mean and that's partly my argument. If this had happened with any other sport, I'm sure the backlash wouldn't have been half as what it has been. Maybe it's because cricket is regarded still as a gentleman's game and that's why the comments have stirred this much controversy?

Cricket as a whole needs to move on I feel, but some media coverage won't let the situation pass. That isn't doing the sport any favours.

well it's the t20 craze anything goes


would not have happen if was a test match interview

I think your probably right to be honest. T20 is all about trying to entertain the crowds but I think they would rather the players do that ON the pitch rather than off it!

Maybe the more relaxed atmosphere had something to do with gayles comment? He thought it was fun and could bend the rules a bit more than normal maybe? I'm not condoning his actions but it's a theory.
