St Kilda footballer in ‘fat chicks' slur

Post by bapa »

A YOUNG girl claims she was told by a St Kilda football player that the club saved themselves for ''hot chicks'' and that ''there should be a no fat chicks section'' in their contracts.
The girl, who has not been named, said the comments were made last week at Melbourne airport while she was trying to get a photograph for her friend.

She told the Herald Sun she was horrified by the experience.

“Instantly my eyes filled up with tears,” she said.

“Body image and how I look is important, so that comment, coming from someone who is in the public eye, made me feel like a monster.

“Now I think everyone around me is thinking those things.”

St Kilda's head of football Chris Pelchen confirmed the club had acted on the incident.

In a statement he said: ''The St Kilda Football Club can confirm we received a complaint from the mother of a young lady alleging comments were made by the players at Melbourne airport on Friday that upset her daughter.

''The Club has spoken to the playing group, and while there is some conjecture about the comments, the Club is mindful that sensitivities need to be respected.

''The family involved have indicated their appreciation for the professional way the St Kilda Football Club has managed the matter.''

The team made a donation to the Butterfly Foundation and also provided a guernsey to the young girl.

AFL's Women's Round starts this week.

A spokesman from the AFL said they were “very concerned” with any suggestion that a football fan has not been treated with the respect that they deserve.

“We were pleased that St Kilda has acted quickly to resolve this matter.”

C'man - a player says there should be a "no fat chick section" in their contracts and she takes it seriously? If she cant see that as a piss take, then yes, she seriously does have issues! Obviously a fat, stupid, humourless, cry-baby!

so why would the club take actions that it did????

Because we live in a litigious, softco.ck world these days and if the club did nothing, all the fat young chicks would continue to bombard the club and the AFL would get all stroppy again.
This girl needs to get real. What's that saying about sticks and stones.....????

Has absolutely nothing to do with it!

I surely hope if you have a daughter you will at least teach her not to get too upset about every little thing that she may hear people say. Its not like she was a little kid or anything!

so that gives the right for so called football players to offend someone over a weight issue?? oh and is that the way they treat their fans?????

:roll:

seriously, the quicker the gayfl players realise that being in the public spotlight means u have to act appropriately, the better!

Who's condoning anything? If she's too weak to ignore a few words, that's her problem! Put simply, trivial and petty. HTFU
