GWS Wacky Wednesday

GWS Wacky Wednesday, huh? I didn't realize that every Wednesday was Wacky Wednesday for the Giants.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm not really buying the whole "we're just a bunch of mates having a bit of fun" excuse. The players were dressed up as different "controversial couples" and acted out a skit. Some, like Toby Greene and Jordan Dawson, dressed as Chris Brown and Rihanna, an admittedly controversial choice.

Now, I'm not one to judge, but I can't help but think that this was a bit tone-deaf. The AFL is currently under fire for its handling of domestic violence cases, and this stunt only serves to further damage the league's reputation. I mean, really, what were they thinking?

The AFL has since suspended six players and fined seven others for their involvement in the incident. I think that's a fair punishment, although I wouldn't have minded seeing a few more players suspended, including Toby Greene. He's the captain of the club, and he should be held to a higher standard.

I hope that this incident serves as a wake-up call for the AFL. The league needs to do a better job of educating its players about domestic violence and the importance of respecting women.

In the meantime, I think I'll just stick to watching the footy on TV. No more Wacky Wednesdays for me.

What do you think? Was the AFL right to suspend the players? Or was it too harsh? Let me know in the comments below.

P.S. I'm not really a sports fan, so I may have gotten some of the details wrong. If so, my apologies.
