Marcelle 162 Posted July 10, 2016 Sorry but your just plain wrong on this, as any sensible thinking person would agree, going with your argument there`s nothing stopping you answering my post with a tirade of swear words, something which you wont do, if indeed you are right that its not that bloody serious. Tirade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert72 845 Posted July 10, 2016 Still opinions and not facts. And, yes, I'm fine with what Tai said yesterday I don't get upset or offended everytime I hear an expletive, they're just a words afterall and Tai's comment yesterday wasn't said with any malice. So if a kid repeated it then your still fine with it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,827 Posted July 10, 2016 But you said his final race which clearly you were wrong which is the norm with your posts I explained what I meant because he did win his final qualifying race and not THE final so it's clear what I meant, unless you are claiming I said he won the final. However it's better than being a bigot and a hater. He may not embarrass you but he definitely embarrasses British Speedway. bigots like you embarrass British Speedway. But it's clearly Not just my opinion but many others as you know. Well the many being 3 of you. Or as I like to call it the unpopular club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted July 10, 2016 Says Who?..He's His own man...Murray's let enough expletives out, and so has His missus...Its not that bl00dy serious..all part of thge English language..people making too much about nothing again...GO WOFFY! But in all walks of life there are boundaries. This forum for instance does not allow foul language, the members accept that, including you or you wouldn't be on here, because that's what the majority of decent minded people want. Yes we all swear, I do myself, but there is a time and a place. I do not swear in front of children and never when I was working and in uniform (despite extreme provocation at times). It's a matter of self control and respect. Woffinden has achieved much in his 26 years and is rightly acclaimed as world champion BUT he has to realise that with that title comes responsibility. It's all very well people complaining about the lack of media coverage of speedway but speedway and it's participants, has to learn to play the game. i.e. be presentable to the majority of readers/listeners/viewers in the first place to gain their interest. Wimbledon and F1 realise that and so does it's competitors. If Tai Woffinden really wants to do his best for British speedway he needs to learn to moderate his behaviour (in public at least) and toe the line that professional sportsmen have to. If not he can win 10 world titles but British speedway, and indeed world speedway, will see no benefit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definition of vulgar being 'lacking sophistication or good taste', 'obscene' being 'offensive or disgusting by accepted standards of morality and decency'. .

If not he can win 10 world titles but British speedway, and indeed world speedway, will see no benefit. The thing with F1, Tennis, Football, MotoGP, Cricket etc etc, to put a spin on it, all these sports put their members through Media Etiquette training. Speedway just doesn't offer it because the varying different angles riders go off on, they're pretty much alone. Who has the responsibility to cover that cost? Not everybody is natural in front of a camera / crowd. Pretty much all speedway riders when interviewed look awkward because it's not natural. Tai was absolutely buzzing when he was on the podium and with the microphone thrust in his face at his home GP he wanted to hear the crowd noise and the f-word came out. In the grand scheme of things, it's no big deal but if these guys had the same training as all other sports it would help with these situations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
