Would not matter if there was in his time, womanizing was celebrated  in the 60s

    Clarkson's words diminish the victims' experience. They didn't ask to "endure" what happened to them.

    No wonder not many victims report this sort of thing. They are pushed to the background and invalidated, while the alleged perpetrators are supported and provided with excuses. 

    I'm not saying Patton should be tried and convicted by the public or the media, but please, it is better if Clarkson just said, I can't comment while this is under investigation instead of waffling on about something he admits he doesn't know much about (social media platforms and the laws that apply to them ).

    Drag racing was totally legal back then.

    There might be some gobbledygook there, but if I'm Patton's lawyer (and I assume he has a lawyer), I'd be very upset with Clarkson's comments. Is virtually saying Patton is guilty of something without being specific or clear as to what that might be. Hardly a helpful comment for Patton.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
