Re: You can't call someone 'Pretty' anymore.

A bit of jealousy creeping in from Ms Hilborne who condemned his remarks? She (Annet) is stunningly beautiful, and it shouldn't be a crime to point it out. I bet that Marton Fucsovics is as pleased as punch about the comment.

Re: You can't call someone 'Pretty' anymore.

This is an example of how the very far left ultimately becomes the far right.

Women were first forced to wear hijabs, niqabs, and burkas because some nut decided that it was evil to admire and acknowledge the beauty of a woman.

That place where the far right and far left merge, where one feels compelled to control every thought, emotion, and behavior of others must be exhausting in its futility .

Some people may have been surprised to see me appointed as the new CEO of this charity. So was my mother. When I told her I was moving away from the environmental sector after 27 years and joining the sports world she said, “but you’re not even sporty.” Naturally, or perhaps unnaturally, I was affronted.
As has been said it could have been worse. Maybe no commentary and no camera footage of the crowd is the target. No close-up of players just general view, no sweaty bits.

Re: You can't call someone 'Pretty' anymore.

Is calling a male a big guy condescending? Can't remember the match but the commentator was referring to his height 6ft 5.

Re: You can't call someone 'Pretty' anymore.

Up here, a common term for guys is "big man" or "wee man" (normally for teens or young boys) Both are considered appropriate descriptions.
