In the same segment Nathan Brown was given the prompt "Roseanne Barr" and he replied "Fat pig".

They're all dickheads.

Seriously, what are they? Like 12?

There's no point in trying to get Riewolt to make some sort of bullshit anti-homophobia statement. His credibility is completely shot before he starts.

I think the gay lobby should have just let this one go through to the keeper.

A bunch of footballers talking bullshit on commercial radio ... what do you expect?

Here's a bit of word association of my own:

RIEWOLT = footballer

FOOTBALLER = cretin

There is only one way to stop footballers making homophobic statements in public ... ban all footballers from speaking in public. It should be a condition of signing an AFL contract that the player should have its tongue surgically removed.

Not sure what's more stupid here ... the idiocy of Riewolt for saying what he said ... or the idiocy of the gay lobby for worrying about it.

BIG FAT NON-ISSUE Rolling Eyes

Tess, for God's sake, take up bowling.

What if the question was about a Race and he replied with Die?

He needs to make up for it.

Quote:
NICK Riewoldt should make amends for a gay slur by starting a campaign to stamp out homophobia in the AFL, Victoria's gay lobby says.

The St Kilda superstar provoked outrage after making a comment vilifying gays on radio.

In a word-association game during the Melbourne Triple M program The Gospel, Riewoldt was asked to respond to the word "homosexual".

He said: "Die."

The forward apologised and tried to get the comment edited out of the program, which he co-hosts with Jason Dunstall, Nathan Brown and Peter Everitt.

"If I've offended anyone in the gay community I'm terribly sorry," Riewoldt told the Melbourne Community Voice newspaper.

"It was an off-the-cuff comment that I shouldn't have made."

But Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby spokesman Gerard Brody said Riewoldt should go further to prove his sincerity.

"He should encourage players and the AFL to come on board and deal with homophobia," Mr Brody said.

Mr Brody said he was disgusted by Riewoldt's comment

If someone said anything to do with race, what ever his response was someone would no doubt find a way to make him sound racist.
