Eddie puts foot in mouth again. Eddie's gaffe

He ridiculed Cynthia Banham’s coin toss who was trying to balance herself with a walking stick as she had both her legs amputated after an airline crash.  Cynthia is an incredibly accomplished and courageous person and the Swans No 1 ticket holder. 

To my mind this isn't about being pc it is about feeling empathy and showing respect.  If he could see the coin toss, Eddie could see her struggle.  Rightly, he has unreservedly apologised but this goes down as one of his most insensitive comments of all time.  Somehow, an apology over the airways doesn't seem enough. 

Well said LH, as much as I loathe PC social engineering, big fan of good manners and basic respect.

    To be fair, that is what being politically correct is about. It's just been hijacked to have a negative connotation by snowflakes who also hijacked the term snowflake, when it was originally used to refer to people like them - people that want to be free to say whatever they like, without consequence. Funnily enough when we're children, we're taught that the words that we use mean something and have consequences.

    Eddie McGuire is of that similar ilk who thinks he should be able to say whatever he wants, without consequence.

    Every season you can guarantee on Eddie opening his mouth and saying something inappropriate. He is a jerk who thinks he is funny. Disgusting comment.

    His statement is interesting. After saying he apologizes "Unreservedly", he adds that the apology is to "anyone who took it that way".

    This "if you were offended" tripe is added so when questioned, you can then say "Were you offended"? Why". It is aimed to make anyone who asks him about it, be put on the back foot to justify their outrage. he did it against Goodes as well.

    It is the opposite of Unreservedly apologising.

    Anyone notice the comment made last night about how it seems as though the Irish players are the only one who don't understand the 50 meter ruling clearly enough. Thought it was in poor taste by someone who owns  Irish racehorses etc.

    As a disabled person myself, Eddie can shove his apology where it fits. 

    To say that his statement wasn’t about Cynthia is a disgrace. It was. 

    It was the reason he opened his cheap mouth. 

    Give me 5 minutes with McGuire and i would rip him to shreds, he has runs on the board over many years.

    Agree totally J02. He says that he was in no way referring to the coin thrower Cynthia? Well, just who were you referring to Ed? Just how stupid do you think we all are? [censored].

    That is ridiculous and I am sure you know it. 

    Are you seriously  saying that Eddie deliberately ridiculed a disabled person on a broadcast?

    He clearly didn’t realise that the coin  tossing person was disabled, as his comment would have otherwise been disgusting and he is not that stupid. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue, it was a deliberate comment, making fun of the inability to toss a coin properly and clearly with no knowledge that the person was disabled  

    You obviously dislike Eddie as it shows in your post that he made the comment deliberately about a disabled person.

    She was standing in the middle of the ground holding a crutch in one hand. 

    Not hard to see what is going on. 

    Eddie has runs on the board...

    whether it was deliberate or not, YES he ridiculed a disabled person on national TV ?

    He obviously didn’t see it. He looked up and saw the coin fly off to the side and cracked a joke. 

    I am sure you appreciate that he is a very experienced broadcaster and he would not deliberately alienate the entire viewing public by ridiculing a disabled person.

    Seriously? I know you are being facetious.

    You have now agreed with me, I think, in that we both agree with what he did, but that it was not deliberate.

    McGuire knew what was going on and what he said. He is an ignorant fool

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
