S25loyal Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Guys it’s pretty obvious what Henry was saying, and that tweet isn’t suitable for someone employed by Bristol sport. Downsy homosexuality doesn’t come into play here in the context really, if he tweeted unsuitable emojis for women players it still wouldn’t be suitable. Or is this ok as they are male, so sexual harassment etc doesn’t count? Or is it ok, as downsy is a homosexual male and they are male also? Looking at one of his replies to his tweet when someone put “deary me downsy”, he put “sorry babes.

When used under a picture of a model in a bikini say it would mean the user thinks the image/person is attractive/sexy. So used in this context by Downsy it seems entirely inappropriate for a person in a position of 'power'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emoji is often used to communicate that you think someone is attractive. So in the context it seems that Downsey is saying that about the rugby players. I think some people are frustrated because they feel that if a straight male employee did the same thing about female Bristol Sport athlete's the straight employee's post would be challenged on it more seriously. However, I doubt many men are actually offended by Downsy being attracted to the rugby players, as I think @Fordy62 is saying.

Is it really that different though to a video of a promotion winning team celebrating in the dressing rooms afterwards? The times we've seen that through the years with players running around in their pants, there is no comparison really.

LondonBristolian Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 First off, what Downsy has done is inappropriate. It is inappropriate for a member of staff/representative of the club to be or appear to be sexualising other employees. Absolutely no doubt on that. However I completely disagree that him doing this is identical to if a male member of staff did it to female athletes/sportswomen. There are two key differences. 1) Generally speaking, male athletes/sportsmen tend to be talked about in the media and on social media in terms of their ability and merit whereas there is a long history of female athletes in the media or social media being talked about primarily in terms of their attractiveness with their sporting ability being ignored or trivialised. Yes, Downsy is objectifying male athletes but he isn't contributing to a continual narrative of sportswomen's achievements being trivialised or ignored in the way that people are when they objectify women. 2) As we've seen in US Gymnastics, US Football and in aspects of the women's game here, there is a long and unfortunate history of female athletes being exploited or abused by male coaches or other employees. A female footballer who is leered at (in person or on social media) by a male employee has utterly reasonable grounds to fear for her own safety as that male employee may well be bigger than her and able to physically assault her if she is alone with them. The rugby players may find Downsy's comments uncomfortable or inappropriate - and should of course complain if they do so - but is unlikely any of them will physically fear Downsy, which a sportswoman might reasonably do. I absolutely agree someone should remind Downsy of the expectations for a member of staff and, if a member of the rugby team chose to complain, that should be taken seriously. But I think drawing a direct equivalence to lewd comments made about women ignores both the actual level of physical danger women may feel when drooled over by men and also the historical exploitation and oppression that plays into. Neither are right but nor are they equivalent. 8 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
