There you are Foxy, Paul 1405 just gave a classic example of the
over reaction to which I referred.

Actually, no Phanto, I don't think he should have been charged $10,000, but I guess that would be up to his club officials.
Obviously they were sufficiently upset with him to fine him that much.
It isn't something that particularly upsets me though.

Suzeonline:

“Obviously they were sufficiently upset with him to fine him that much.”

What do you mean by ‘upset’? Do you mean they were angry? If they were angry then can you see any good reason why they should be? If there is none then why are you ‘hedging your bets’? Either he was treated unjustly or he wasn’t.

“It isn't something that particularly upsets me though.”

I didn’t ask how you felt – I asked what you thought. Four questions actually.

Gee Phanto, if you are looking for a fight this morning I can't be bothered.
You might need to ask his club officials why they fined him, as I don't know what their rules are!

You were bothered enough to respond.

Of course there is a double standard. Anyone who would argue otherwise is immediately and easily proved a jackass and a hypocrite by the daily events reported in the media.

Earlier I posted a link with a video of the Channel 7 Sunrise team chortling as a female interviewer makes a heavy pass at some fellow on the beach. Chris Gayle's flattery is minor compared with that. The link again,

Just to prove the double standard exists where OLO's 'Progressive'(LOL) fembots are concerned, as if that is necessary, there is always their defence of the disgusting treatment of Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith by The Circle co-hosts including Yumi Stynes and journalist George Negus who jealously commented, "He'd be a dud root".

Later, Stynes had the gall to claim that she was the victim of her 'Asian looks and gender' instead. -One encounters similar remarkable, gob-smacking switches and spin from OLO's fembots.

Gayle
It is fun to watch the harridans of political correctness exchange fire with one another. Sexism and misogyny grenades being lobbed with racist and xenophobe shells in return. PC is rather complicated isn't it?

More on that double standard and not something that Broderick and feminists would want to hear,

<The girls lift their skirts up and put men’s hands underneath’: Jesinta dishes on the ‘footy chicks

The 23-year-old model was participating in a broad-ranging discussion with Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick and Australian Women’s Weekly editor Helen McCabe about domestic violence when she was asked if she was alarmed by the kind of behaviour she had seen from footballers interacting with female fans...>
