Don't Throw Stones O'Brien

LOOK AT ME!  I'm Harry O'Brien!

By Mark Humphrey

O'Brien is such a hypocrite here and doing nothing except pumping his own tyres for self promotion.

If O'Brien is not guilty of calling Tom Hawkins a fat fa%%%t then by his own admission he is guilty of calling Hawkins a fat c#$%. Is that not discriminating against someone's appearance or their physical stature?

Who do you think you are O'Brien to get on your high horse and talk down on McGuire when you discriminated against someone last week?

I would love the AFL to actually investigate the Hawkins matter further. If they did then i suggest you would be in big trouble!!!

Before you get on your soap box O'Brien get your own backyard in order first.

Harry O'Briens twitter comment is below but i suggest Daniel Wells twitter comment is more on the mark and there is definitely no self promotion from Daniel but you be the judge of that.

O'Brien Feed.

I'M EXTREMELY disappointed with Eddie's comments and do not care what position he holds," says Collingwood footballer Harry O'Brien in the wake of Eddie McGuire's on-air gaffe that linked Adam Goodes and theKing Kong stage show.
 

"It doesn't matter if you are a school teacher, a doctor or even the president of my football club I will not tolerate racism, nor should we as a society," O'Brien tweeted.

"Im [sic] extremely disappointed with Eddie's comments and do not care what position he holds, I disagree with what came out [of] his mouth this morning on radio.

"To me Eddie's comments are reflective of common attitudes that we as a society face. To me Australia is very casual with racism, I would argue that many people in this country would not think what Eddie or the 13yr old girl said last friday is 'bad'.

"In my opinion race relations in this country is systematically a national disgrace and we have a long way to go to reach a more harmonious and empathetic society."

Daniel Wells Feed

Indigenous North Melbourne footballer Daniel Wells said he found the comments offensive.

"Obviously I'm a little bit disappointed about it. He did a fair bit of work after that incident with Adam (Goodes) last week. To his credit, he came down and handled it really well. But to make a silly comment like that, a bit tongue in cheek, but hopefully it doesn't undo all the work he's done in the past.

"It just goes to show that tongue in check (or not), you're treading a fine line really. You've just got to be careful.

"I feel for Adam. He's obviously been through a lot the last couple of days and the last couple of weeks and hopefully it hasn't affected him too much. But he's a pretty strong man and we know what Eddie's done and how passionate he is, so there's no doubt if he had his time again he probably wouldn't say it."
