Is Chris Gayle some sort of perverted misogynist or can everyone just settle down?

[indiaholic]

He used cultural factors as a defense?

In which Malcolm Knox loses his mind completely: The trouble with being Chris Gayle - it all comes down to respect

(no, I didn't get to the end)

Lol, who is this joker? And who is going to fine him now? Can he even afford to be fined?

 

[OverratedSanity]

So the people defending him are doing it because he is black?

Lolwut. No.

I swear there's something sinisterly wrong about this thread. Makes everyone post weird **** they wouldn't normally do.

He, not people, and I'm not sure he was defending him so much as making a very bad explanation.

Yeah, he said it was a difference in cultures or some b.s

Not everyone is defending Gayle because he is black, but those attempting to write off the incident as a result of cultural differences could be seen as doing so. Although the Caribbean is quite a mixing pot, so wouldn't say it's a 'Black' thing.

I mean doing so does stray uncomfortably close into the old "big black man preying on white woman" trope I mentioned way back. No one I know of has consciously said that, but the thing about tropes is that they're usually not conscious.

Even that Knox guy is just one person.. Blaming the backlash on race is not substantiated with anything IMO.

Just wait for tomorrow night, if Gayle makes a big score you can bet on the most uncouth of celebrations and hopefully more fun here.

Gayle gets fined $10,000; the publicity increases his IPL value by $500,000

Michael Bevan wasn't a very good ODI batsman.

Bradman's average was inflated by playing against 12 year olds.

Murali and every bowler to have ever bowled the doosra is a chucker

McGrath was the real chucker IMO. The current law was created to protect him.

Why don't fifties remain fifties?
