I assume it is the HS that has been headline chasing?   I don't read it nor watch TV news so I can't tell how much of a witch hunt has been happening.  The football media websites I read (The Age, AFL, Fox) have been quite low key.  Sadly, I saw a regional news report of Patton going to hospital with the Lifeline and Beyond Blue numbers at the bottom of the article.  So I suspect all media will now pull their heads in - terrible that it takes admission to hospital for mental health concerns for them to do that.

 

Worse than the HS, the Daily Mail have been all over this like it's watergate. 

Unfortunately they love that they can set headlines of bad boy AFL star to images of girls in bikinis.

worse still, i believe daily mail is now the #1 'news' site in oztraya

goes to show what people value...

So he acts like a complete degenerate, treating women with disrespect for who knows how long. Finally gets pulled up, and now he's having a mental health crisis and needs to be in hospital? 

Yeah, nah. Doesn't sit right at all does it. Zero sympathy for a bloke who treats women like this.

I think it's all a bit of a storm in a tea cup. So the guy is sexting? The girl was still wanting to see him despite his messages anyway so how offended was she? He said, come to Melb and I'll do this and that to you and I'll pay you if I need to, and she said 'im not an escort, but I'll see you when you covid has cleared'. I understand that for a footy club in 2021 its not a good look with it being revealed but I'd say screenshotting someone's private conversations/photos and shaming them publicly for the nation to see is far worse than anything he has done.  Sure she's calling it out, but she's calling it out publicly. If she wanted to call it out then the proper way would be to go to the police if she feels harassed or send it to the footy club directly. There's no need to shame him in front of the country over conversations which whilst lewd weren't all that bad. 

There is so much wrong with this post I don't know where to begin. 

Let's replay it

It's not the creep who's sending unsolicited [censored] pics & videos of himself masturbating that is the problem.  It's the women who have made it public who are the issue.  

How would you feel if someone randomly DMd you with a video of themselves having a [censored]? Would you be happy?

Completely irrelevant and uncalled for comment which could / maybe   should have been Not allowed printing.

This is not even necessary as one matter is not relevant to the other!!!

Yep, this is exactly what is wrong with our society. This assumptions that girls are forever 'asking for it', if they choose to wear tight clothes, go out to a bar or heaven forbid, give a guy their number. Women are not allowed to exist without some [censored] assuming they are up for it. 

FFS unless these women specifically said "hey Jon, can I get some nudes", they were not 'asking' for it and it was an aggressively sexually inappropriate thing to do. It might be shocking to men to find out that women may actually care to get to know a guy and not their [censored] first. 

 

I saw an article on BBC News in which women who'd met their partners online were asked what had prompted them to go on a second date. The most popular answer was, "He DIDN'T send me a picture of his d*ck."

Boys, wake up....

When one has a guts like mine, such a thing is impossible!

I thought the Dailymail only posted (paid for) articles about Bec Judd.  Good to see them branching out.

Yeah, nah. Anyone this clueless about personal data security gets zero sympathy from me in this day and age. Thick as 2 short planks is Patton. As a public figure, its seriously poor judgement on his part sending these sorts of images over the internet.

Also, you offering an opinion on whether or not the female has the right to be offended by his behaviour isn't your place. A woman should have the right to deal with unwanted sexual advances in any way she see's fit.

He offered to pay her money, as if any women on earth should be willing to prostitute themselves for him. This shows his character to be that of one who does not respect women at all. Trying to fly the flag for him him here only makes you look the same way.
