Caroline Wilson last night responded to Sam Newman's criticism on The Footy Show, referring to the former Geelong player as a "neanderthal".
“I’m not surprised, the guy’s just a bit of a neanderthal isn’t he?” Wilson said on Adelaide radio station FIVEaa prior to the Crows' win over North Melbourne at Adelaide Oval.
“He lives in the past, he’s missed the point completely with all of this as he has with so many big issues in footy in recent years.
“I don’t think he did Eddie any good at all with his comments. I totally expected that from Sam. His lack of judgment as he’s got older has really baffled me.”
Newman caused controversy with his comments on the Caroline Wilson drowning joke controversy on The Footy Show on Wednesday night.
Watch Newman's take on the issue below:
People really need to look up definition of racism
Only as far wide of the mark as calling Eddie’s comment sexist… 😉
I wonder if it is possible for people to be able NOT to agree with someone without being personally abusive eg calling people names. l believe what Eddie did was wrong, but l can accept others can have a different view. Personal abuse is not on and those who engage in it show a lack of respect for others as well as themselves. Name calling is personal abuse and harmful. l just wish people treated others with respect
Two words ENOUGH ALREADY
