Sam Newman dragged off air by Nine / back on air tomorrow night

"I gave them an opportunity to apologise, I wrote to them and asked them please to apologise. They didn't do it, they just ignored me and I was put in that position.''

so realistically,this is about her neurosis of being ignored....because she is a woman in the football world.

I think it would take 2 of her to change a light bulb ;
1 to change it and one to perform oral on me  :wallywinks

This is about a small group of women who,as a result of tasting a dose of independent success,
believe their opinion on what is,not a recent addition to football culture,will forever cement their names in AFL history and beyond.


TWO WORDS.

TAM PON

Sammy is on the money in saying their is very little purpose for women within a football club.

Is it his fault the women cant face fact in their quest for AFL Equality ?

Do netball clubs give preference to female cast and crew - i belive so.

Who knows,maybe they should do us all a favor and have their tubes tied...along with their mouths.

Sam Newman back in business for The Footy Show
Herald-Sun | June 25, 2008

SAM Newman will return to The Footy Show tomorrow, just three weeks after being told to take a break by bosses.

Newman was sent to counselling after he was criticised by some of the AFL's most powerful women for publicly humiliating a female football journalist.

On the April 3 show, he held a photo of the journalist's face over a mannequin and fondled it while making provocative remarks.

After he was canned from the Channel 9 show on May 28, ratings dropped by 70,000 within two weeks. Newman did not return calls last night.

What will happen if the ratings keep heading south even with Sam back?

[one-eyed]

Ch 9 had Sam apologise to all and sundry on the news tonight.

[Moi]

Welcome back Sammy.
You annoy the crap out of me sometimes, but can't believe all the garbage over this.

[Francois Jackson]

.
Welcome back Sammy!!
IMO he has been used and abused and now ratings are down so now the network brings him back.

This is a guy who has recently had prostate surgery. give me a break!!

[Tigermonk]

great last week was he, be even better tonight
Ratings up high again last thursday just shows Sammy is loved in the footy circle 

[cub]

Are the footy show and Sammy deliberatly trying to prove a point by Sams targetting of Hutchy's baldness. You know scribbling on it with texta and shoe polish.
Sam hangs it on a female journalist about her looks and there is absolute uproar everywhere.
Sam hangs it on a male journalist about his looks and not a peep.
Double standards me thinks .......

food for thought

I wonder if Sam Lane will be outraged about this = you're right CUB, there'll be not a peep.
Whole thing was a beat up and a lot of double standards in all this.

That Woman from the Bulldogs seriously needs to get a life!! You got your 15 seconds of fame you litigious slag, now get back to the boardroom table where you belong. Good to see she's putting her club first and focusing on issues at the Western Oval like all good board members should. 
Look at how many advertising campaigns that are running out there at the moment that make men look like complete fools. Stereotypes abound. We're portrayed as drunks, simpletons, criminals and chauvernists on a regular basis yet if the same thing were to happen women, all hell would break loose. There are also plenty of ads out there that portray men as sexual objects yet when "5 cougars" comes on, they end up banning it as it was considered offensive to women, yet the Diet Coke chicks can stare at a man's arse till the cows come home!   
Here's another...What's one of the most common answers  women reply with when questioned about why they like coming to the footy? Throughout the years more often than not the answer has been "To see players running around in their tight shorts." Imagine if a guy was asked at a Netball game what they like about Netball and he said seeing them running around in their tight little uniforms....He would be branded as sexist and his comments would be considered demeaning to women just like "Western Oval Wendy" or whatever her name is has done to Sammy. Unfortunately Men of today are still paying for the oppression of women thoughout history instigated by previous generations. The Pipe and slippers is long gone. Sure there are still pockets of Boys clubs out there but the laws are in place now to protect women from sexual discrimination but alas they are also as easily abused by the likes of "Western Oval Wendy".   

BTW, All of the successful women I know in business let their skills and professionalism do the talking, not their lawyers.

Nine Network executive director Jeffrey Browne confirmed he had reached agreement with Newman over a long-term deal for the controversial former footballer-cum-opinionated presenter to continue on The Footy Show.

"The Footy Show is an iconic brand and Sam is integral to its enduring success," Mr Browne said. "Love him or hate him, Sam is a must-watch every Thursday night.

Newman, 62, said yesterday he was ecstatic that he would stay with the Nine Network.

"It will keep me off the dole and save me from getting one of the cards that give you cheaper fares on the tram," buoyant Newman said.
