It was a joke. Plus whoever goes in the ring must expect this. I hate the "sport". You do realise these guys go in the ring with the intent to do exactly this to their opponent or are you just plainly ignorant?
So get off your sniping high horse for once and STFU.

I am sicking of seeing jokes about a guy who got knocked out cold and had to be taken away in an ambulance. It's not funny and just because you don't like the sport doesn't mean you should make jokes when someone gets hurt. Think about what his family would have been thinking when he hit the deck and needed a stretcher. FFS. It's not funny at all

Fair point

That's why I am hoping it's the end of his boxing career

Has a beautiful wife, couple of cute kids... they're more importnat that getting clocked in a boxing ring for a few bucks

It wasn't pleasant last night I can assure you all
Nothing to joke about here
Saw a dozen of his ex team mates sitting behind me
Hope he doesn't go on, he has had a great sporting career and is a great fella

FFS the joke was not of him getting hurt. Read it carefully. At no stage did I make a statement inferring that it was funny that he got hurt. You guys say a lot worse about a lot of players that are mentioned on these boards.
As if I don't realise head injuries aren't funny. I've actually treated many patients with serious head injuries some of them fatal and yes it's not funny. I've seen the personal anguish of families losing their loved ones many times. It's gut wrenching. So STFU about giving holier than though opinions when you have NFI of what I think or feel.
And I reiterate, Tuck voluntarily put himself into a situation that meant there was always a reasonable risk of this occurring. It is stupid IMHO. Not that he deserves it because nobody does. But people need to take responsibility of their own actions and if he was that stupid to put himself in danger, he and his family should realise he should never do this again. Hopefully there are no residual effects from this incident and he can move on, much the wiser.

You made the joke, it's there for all to see. Why try and worm your way out of it? No one said you joked "Tuck got hurt ha ha that's funny". It's the fact a former Tiger soldier got KO'd brutally, was taken away in an ambulance and you decided to make a joke that belittles both Tucky and the Richmond Football Club. You admit it's not funny yet you joke. Just apologise and move on.

Your thoughts on the sport of boxing have nothing to do with what you said. Apologise and move on.
