IRELAND HAS WON SIX NATIONS 2009, WUT! WUT! It was well deserved, Ireland was mega-fierce this year! Congratulations boys!
It seems that our boyfriend Tom Croft, has a rivalry going with James Haskell and his mouth (ugh). A 'friendly rivalry' according to Croft but knowing how hard Haskell works and how bad he wants it, he totally hates Croft...with the fire of a thousand suns. Let's make assumptions based on his highlights and lowlights from the Guardian:
Lions wild card: Thom Evans (Scotland). I'm slightly biased because he's an old friend but I thought he looked extremely dangerous on numerous occasions throughout the championship. There's also our very own Tom Croft, damn him.
Let's read into this without any basis at all, shall we?
Firstly why is our boy an afterthought? I doubt he was recalled when England was set to play, arguably the best team in the tournament, for nothing, not only that but England won that game and Croft took home 'man of the match'. Also the 'damn him' at the end, can't you just picture Haskell saying it, with thinly veiled joviality to hide disdain and jealousy. They say that jokes are half truths but in this case, I'm sure we can venture to say that this is 100% truth! Looks like someone's a little green, non?
Oh and we must not forget that it was Haskell that Croft was replacing, because he surely doesn't:
Personal lowlight Losing my place for the last two matches and playing only seven minutes against Scotland. It's obviously important to have the right balance in the pack but that knowledge doesn't make it any less frustrating when you're not in the starting XV – or "axed" as they prefer to describe it in the papers.
OH SNAP!
And its has to hurt that the moment you're replaced your team starts winning games. Oh man this must be keeping him awake at night!
So you're probably wondering, why all the Haskell hate all of a sudden? Well I'll tell you: In 2003 he was suspended from his school because he and his friends video taped one of their other friends and his girlfriend having sex and then showed the tape to an audience in their common room.
So classy, right?
And please save the 'boys will be boys' bullshit because this is how misogyny is bred. Chalking this behavior up to youth, and raging hormones, when really it has everything to do with attitudes towards women saying we are only here for breeding and a man's entertainment; whether its for sexual gratification or just to have a laugh.
Yea, I doubt him and his friends thought about the girl at all. What it would do to her reputation, to her self esteem, and how everyone would perceive her from thereon in, because if a woman is sexual she's a slut, don't you know?
...I don't know what disgusts me more Haskell's mouth or his behavior, what a douche bag!
Now I know misogyny and professional atheles have an age old relationship but maybe just maybe he could take a few pointers from Captain England himself, Johnny Wilikinson. He very well may be a raging douche bag misogynist but hell we don't know that, he plays everything close to the vest.
Or maybe he could take pointers from our very own Sidney Crosby who is very much an enigma, you'd never catch him recording a friend boinking his girlfriend, why? because he knows the responsibility that comes with being a pro athlete.
Yes at the time he was on the U19s England squad AND he was in the WASP system, so he knew stadium glory was on the horizon...Please don't make excuses, excuses have created this fucked up male-run world.
Looks like someone needs to join Avery and Williams' support group. I'm not going to say who but I think you know him very well...
