I'd direct you to the "soft launch" comment and then his interaction with people congratulating him on "coming out". The AFL is a hostile environment for gay men, there's no denying that fact. I stopped going to games after the Wil Powell incident. Only one player (Max Gawn) had the courage to speak out on the issue.The photo of him at the brownlow? You consider that gay baiting? While i agree many in the game probably are tone deaf to it, I'm not sure 2 footballers being asked to pose together for a photo is gay baiting. And yes there may be some players who wish they could attend with a male partner, i can't see this post would be the one that stops them.
Yep. I know. Relationship reveal. Your point?ffs "soft launch" is a current meme lol
Do you think he stuffed his bulge to be more in character with the french pole vaulter? Or is it all natural?
The comment that's like insinuating they're launching their relationship? But they aren't because they're straight, so the only assumption is it's a joke? So what exactly is the joke about two men being a couple?
Imagine if a white player made a joke about being aboriginal and 'embracing their heritage' or something like that for a laugh, there would be outrage.
That's right and it goes unnoticed. The issue is the player(s) suggested via their social media comments they were soft launching a relationship. One also thanked followers for congratulating them "coming out". It was juvenile.folks, if you're genuine seasoned AFL followers, you'll know that dozens of AFL players attend the Brownlow with their team-mates if they don't have a wife/partner/girlfriend or if their other (female) halves can't attend. It's got nothing to do with pretending to be a gay couple or gay-baiting.
The soft launch was him soft launching his clothing line in public for the first time. That's how i took it, i never suspected he was baiting with that statement. He's been promoting his clothing line, well his clothing business or similar for a while now. There was no way he was 'soft launching' a fake relationship for likes. If others saw it otherwise, how is that his issue. Is he now not allowed to soft launch his product in case people misinterpret?I'd direct you to the "soft launch" comment and then his interaction with people congratulating him on "coming out".

I'm not criticising footballers for going to the Brownlow with their housemates/best mates.
No. Nice try. He was wearing Armani, as he said in the post. This is my final post on the issue. The AFL has a problem and they can't seem to get the players onboard. I can't remember the last time I heard a member of the public use the f slur, yet 3 players were caught using the term on the field. Imagine how many slurs aren't picked up by the microphones and heard by umpires?The soft launch was him soft launching his clothing line in public for the first time.

Isn't the point to also not let jokes at the expense of gays go unnoticed?They're football meatheads. They're the sort of guys that bullied us in school. Move on and let's get back to the pics.
