When you're the public face of an organisation, it is a hanging offense. Players need to realise this. Their idiotic antics have a negative impact on a club's public reputation, and can't simply be laughed off.

An NBA player just did a similar thing and copped a $50,000 fine.

No problem with any of that, but was it the "Aids" thing that did him? Would it have been laughed off if he said "Herpes" instead?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I wouldn't have thought either would be acceptable. Whether one is considered worse than the other, I'm not sure. But a smart player would simply stay right away from making any offensive remarks to fans on a public forum.

What makes the Brock McLean incident amusing to us fans is the fact that the Scum went through a review of how to use social media appropriately just two weeks ago.

It shows a lack of intellect from Brock McLean. :lol:

This isn't the thread for it, but I actually had some respect for McLean. He came to the Scum as a "star" signing, for a number 11 draft pick. Not long after arriving he was relegated to the VFL and has struggled to regularly find a spot in the senior side since (partly due to injuries). His attitude during this period has been great, he's worked hard in the VFL and is usually among the best. Whenever I've heard him speak to the media all he talks about is working hard on improving his game and earning a spot. When, through injury, he got an extended run in the seniors, he's been one of the few Blues to stand up this year.

So yeah, I had some respect for the bloke. Not so much after reading a few of his tweets (not just those highlighted in the media).

I read Fev's book this week. Is it any wonder their players turn out the way they do?

The club said that we were going to get some counselling for alcohol abuse and do some community work, but we never did.

How dare McLean accuse this mans mother of giving him AIDS when we all know who is really to blame.

Chris Judd.

In fact the whole of Carlscum is rife with AIDS and it's reached epidemic proportions.

Of course I'm not talking about HIV I'm talking about the other form of AIDS.
