Joe Root: Nothing wrong with being gay

[GIMH]

Pretty sure I read that homosexuality is illegal in whichever country the third Test was played in. So the law of the country disagrees with what Joe Root said.

Thanks for your input

Good effort at contributing lad.

Trying their best to get their beers out of the frame.

Joe's taken a violent homophobic thug of his own into the Windies dressing room as protection. You couldn't script it. Brilliant.

 

[trundler]

I back Gabriel to tear both of them apart at once.

 

[Burgey]

Gabriel's reaction to what Root said (i.e. looking sheepish, as if he had just realised the possible consequences of what he had (allegedly) said, and hastily muttering "it's not an insult") might do for him I suspect.

Needs a third party to miraculously come forward and say they heard him say "little boy" a few days after saying they didn't hear anything. Case closed.

I've heard he's girthy but don't know about "tear them apart"

they'd wake up a bit sore for sure though

How is Stokes homophobic?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Stokes is actually 'anti-homophobic'... thug

 

[Burgey]

You will recall the evidence outside the nightclub of him taunting a couple of gay blokes a few minutes before the fight broke out, for which he was inexplicably found not guilty of assault.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah, his initial defence of 'I was defending gay blokes' was countered with someone accusing him of actually taunting gay blokes. Not sure if one was proven or not

That was the cover story. Was clearly bullocks though. Footage showed that.

Pictured: Joe Root giving the same "there is nothing wrong with being gay" speech he gives Stokes every week. Stokes now knows all the words.

 

[Daemon]

Lol I’d forgotten about this. What was his defence?

[Burgey]

Thank you Daemon, I will now accept your apology. It doesn't need to be extensive or overly grovelling. Just straight to the point.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Having watched the various footage from that night in Bristol numerous times now, absolutely none of it backs up Stokes claiming he was defending the gay couple. Frankly I just think the man was just having a complete meltdown, and was taking that out on anyone who happened to cross his path

Looks like there's a pretty serious game of Texas hold-em going on in the background.

What a contrast in the way Gabriel has handled this vs. how poorly Sarfraz and the PCB came across in their episode.
