Bullying is Un-Australian

Re: Bullying is Un-Australian

When I was a kid in Bougainville island the ABC reporters would throw lollies in the bins for the kids to get out, then on the news that night the report was we were starving and searching for food in the bins. DONT Believe anything from a reporter.

That's just appalling.

I can remember the accusations of that happening back in the day.

I have absolutely no doubt that it would be hurting Tom. No doubt whatsoever. I remember hearing Tony Lockett speak about puking his guts out before every match and the constant scrutiny being the main reason to fly north, and it's stuck with me ever since because if you could ever imagine a man mountain, a tough bloke who had no interest whatsoever in the media or a "profile" it's Tony Lockett, and it still got to him.

Tom Boyd is not about to commit the grievous sin of wetting his pants in front of the bullies but that's no reason not to stick up for him.

But Omeara can ask 750,000 a year and hasn't played a game in two years.
I would say that's a lot worse than Toms output

In an interview with Tom Boyd yesterday he mentioned that all the media attention, particularly through this week, has been really tough on him and his family.

And people wonder why the club wants to keep it in house.

Particularly the vilification and bullying over last few days in which the incident was a complete storm in a tea cup. If there was any doubt a loud mouthed 50yo bully was succeeding in bullying this 20yo kid, then this removes it. I wish someone with a microphone or lap top would call him out for the gutless bully he is. Surely there's someone in the media that has a conscience and wants to be a role model to kids in particular about standing up to bullies.

Ring him next time he's on talkback. He must do talkback somewhere.

In the mirrors on the ceiling of his bedroom.
