AFL to Charge Fans for Free Speech
By Li-Ping Lo for spittle.com

The President of the Anti Freedom League, Gil-Xi McLachlan, has defended the employment of Behavioural Conformity Officers at matches, saying that football supporters had the right to assemble and chant AFL-approved slogans.

“Football supporters have the right to speak their mind,” he said at the launch of a Manifesto outlining what supporters are allowed to say.

McLachlan said there was a price to pay for free speech, and the AFL would ensure it extracted every dollar.

“We’ll be extending the scope of variable ticket pricing, with categories including ‘Green Maggot’ , ‘Bald-Headed Flog’ and 'Falun Gong',” he said from his corporate tank.

“The top tier, ‘Conscientious Objector’, includes premium seating in a chamber on Level B2, a Suns membership, and attendance at the 2020 Shanghai match, including a Chinese cultural experience featuring authentic Chinese food, massage and organ harvesting.”

McLachlan said fan behaviour required a Cultural Revolution, and that extradition of individuals from games was for the greater good of the people.

“闭嘴，否则你会消失,” he said.

A friend of mine once got charged with theft of dim sims when he ate some in the food queue before the till in the old Southern Stand. True story. He managed to hold on to his organs though.

More punters calling SEN tonight with Gilstapo stories. Guy reckons he dropped one f-bomb and was surrounded by security. George Carlin having a right old chuckle.

Great post, TBH. When is Chairman Gill-Dill introducing the Thought Police into AFL matches?

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

I'm waiting for "attend one AFLW match to receive entry to one AFL match".

What is wrong with the f word?

 

[DavidSSS]

What is wrong with the f word?

Apparently offends the kids. I can't remember being offended by the f word when I went to the footy aged about 7, without any parents, back in the bad old days.

To be honest, if the f word offends you, then you need to leave the country, this is Australia, we swear a lot, get used to it.

There are plenty of responsible parents who try to protect their kids, but I had a mate who worked as a primary teacher’s aide a while back who reckoned they knew more words than he did.

Reckon in seated areas you have a right to expect a better standard than in standing room.

x2

they say *smile* on the radio and TV all the time.

Its a human right to yell it at the footy for *smile* sake

99%.9 of people know its not ok to scream '*smile* you toby greene'

but ok to scream 'for *smile* sake, you can't kick someone in the face'

 

[artball]

talking of the 'F' word and kids, does Chairman Guilt think they don't log onto the internet ... ?
that's not saying is a great thing for them to hear at the footy btw ..

 

[SpaceAce]

well put TBH. Chairman Gidiot has lost it.
Behavioural Assessment Officers? wow ..

This is disturbing stuff, I never envisaged something like this ever happening.....straight out of Orwell's 1984.
All because a precious little princess couldn't handle being called a 'bald headed flog' by another bald headed man. Unbelievable!!!
The way this is going pretty soon you can end up with a criminal record just for yelling out 'Eat Em Alive Tigers' - that will be considered hate speech by Gill
The AFL can GAGF, my protest has already started, Im not attending anymore games until this *smile* stops!!

His creating the ultimate safe space for precious footy fans.
The whol arena.

Imagine doing this crap with the cricket?
Specially when bay 13 was around.

 

[gold1]

Getting a little bit over the top here people.I have no problem with the occasional F word and calling an umpire a maggot but to be in earshot of someone going FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF all the time gets a bit distracting IMHO.

Those types probably need to go to a local league match where you can still park around the ground and goFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF to their hearts content(making sure all windows are up of course)

Biggest problem with barracking at the footy is the death of wit.

Free entry to any game if you wear this:

Biggest problem with barracking at the footy is the death of wit.

And the birth of the half wit.
Some of the funniest banter you will ever hear is at the footy.
True Aussie humour. Chairman Dill doesn’t understand it. They don’t teach that type of humour at boarding school in S.A.
He’s a humourless twit.
Next time I go to the footy, I won’t be audible. Imagine if no one barracked at all?
Silent protest is on.
