More proof our country is PC mad.

Pardon the pun, but if this is genuinely offensive then Australia is rooted.

That's absolutely buggered! :lol. The Chris Gayle one I could at least understand (whether I agree or not is irrelevant) because he was making remarks to the reporter. Not sure how anyone can get offended by this one though except for just over the top PC bullshyte

The 30-year-old was reportedly sticking to his guns today, telling Channel Seven: “Not sorry at all, you can’t please everybody.”
“I could stand there and give a boring interview, straight down the line, chuck in a few cliches, but I thought I’d be different and toss something else up,” he added, in an interview with Channel Nine outside the Queensland hotel. “I’m living with it ... it was pretty funny I thought.”

Atta boy stick by your guns, don't let a bunch of sooks ruin some character after a boring game :clapping

I'm frequently branded a PC wanker - I didn't have a problem with the comment at all.

The Huffington Post was similarly offended, calling the line the “most tasteless sport thing ever”, while former NSW prop Robbie Kearns said it was “a bit out of line”.

I'm assuming the good ladies at th huf-post are not aware o Louis van gaal taking his pants off and giving a long discussion about the size of his testicals. In a attempt to get across to his Bavarians dressing room he's got the balls to drop anyone regardless reputation.
