Re the tennis arguement, instead of women playing 5 sets, I don't understand why the men don't say stuff it, we're only playing 3 sets in the Grand Slam tournaments. Equal play for equal pay. After all that's all they play in most other tournaments on the tennis calendar.

Link it to TV ratings - isn't that the source of most revenue these days?

Women's tennis on average rates higher.  The men's finals especially the Djokovic, Nadal, Federer classics get higher ratings but across a tournament like the Aussie Open the women's garners more ratings.

It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Richmond recruit Ricky Petterd cleared over scuffle at Boxing Day Test

RICHMOND forward Ricky Petterd has escaped club sanction for clashing with cricket patrons during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG last month.

Petterd was with four former Melbourne teammates who were evicted late in the day after some ugly exchanges with fans in the rowdy Bay 13 section of the ground.

After meeting with Petterd, the Tigers yesterday confirmed the goalkicker would not be punished.

The rest of the group, featuring Dees trio Jeremy Howe (pictured above left), Lynden Dunn and James Frawley (left) and Geelong recruit Jared Rivers are also expected to avoid heavy penalty.

Melbourne and Geelong are set to formalise their decisions later in the week.

The Melbourne players resumed training at Casey Fields yesterday.

12 pages of this crap??

I've just read this thread from start to finish hoping for some form of entertainment. In the end it was like watching every episode of "Lost" back to back with WAT as the Smoke Monster appearing every so often to troll and and generally irritate. That's 20 minutes of my life I will never get back.  :banghead

In all honestly, this story shouldn't have seen the light of day. If only someone had photographed a woman nursing a toddler in the crowd.  ::)
