Dancing To A Different Drum

WARNING... EXPLICIT CONTENT THAT MAY OFFEND SOME READERS!

Sorry... but if you're faint hearted, narrow minded or easily offended, this entry is definitely not for you.

But if you're normal, well adjusted, and can stomach seeing momentary vision of male private bits dangling from muscular footballers, then click here.

The interview takes place in the locker room of the team that lost the Rugby League Grand Final (that's our equivalent to the Superbowl or FA Cup final) here in Oz a week or two back. Fox Sports was doing its usual post game stuff, but the crew was oblivious to the antics of a team member in the background who (claims he) was unaware that the cameras were rolling.

Fox aired the footage before anyone noticed.

I remember a leading commentator of the day, many many years ago when the whole locker room invasion by journalists started, warning that if cameras were allowed into locker rooms, they might film stuff no-one wanted to see.

The reaction has been predictable. The network says it's the responsibility of players to be camera aware.

The players are trying to get the cameras banned for 45 minutes after the game.

And the League is in damage control for an oops that makes the famous "wardrobe malfunction" look a little tame.

By the way, the well endowed player, winger Michael Robertson, called it "Wang Dancing" and said he was just trying to cheer his team mates up after their loss, which leads me to ask why he thought that would cheer them up at all.
