    Ch9 really need to move away from putting old uneducated and racist/sexist dickheads on television, I mean it's really not that hard in 2019 to find people who won't say anti-Semitic and other types of racist or sexist things on TV...…...

    Me too, so I didn't until your comment. Let's say Ch9 black ban for this. His son KO's teammates and still got a gig on Ch7. Now both should be enough to not get an invite back to the studios, but senior could lament his language on national tv, while junior who had engaged in serious acts of violence keeps getting promoted at Ch7. It's hard not feel like the networks don't bare about the theoretical moral stance they should have. I mean Carey's many assaults, mistreatment of women and being a witness for a gangland figure during the gangland war isn't relevant. Upon reflection, I don't watch any of the footy shows anymore and not watching other games any more. Which I liked doing. I can't read afl media because it's just a dickhead potting Tom Boyd or Bevo and newspapers much the same. Without woof, I doubt I would even discuss or read footy stuff anymore.

    And I notice that they've gone with the old hold all answer “We apologise for any offence it may have caused.” being the same as "If I have caused anyone distress (ie it's your fault but I'm such a great bloke it's me who is apologising) then I apologise"
