David Reynolds' Bathurst Comments
Mr Reynolds really should watch his mouth. Calling the girls car the [you can find it elsewhere if you're interest] is a bit uncalled for. Guess it does show his is probably on the way out at PRA.
Good on V8SC to come out against what he said. 25k fine, apparently none of it suspended from what i've heard. http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/c...s-fined-25-000 Last edited by naca; 8 Oct 2015 at 08:11. |

Immature & stupid.
Comment on the driving talent not the gender. Is $25k a big enough fine? And will this impact his 2016 landing place? You cant see Metcash/Bottle O being too pleased at that kind of alleged behaviour.. especially considering their buying demographic!! |

I was sitting down reading about this with the GF and I read to her what Dave had said - she said "meh" to the worst thing he said, but the pit stop comment was met with a roar of laughter...
But she is far less sensitive than many women... |

Its the hypocrisy of the human race that gets me, and in particular our male species. All 'red blooded' men, think or say things to their mates about woman, and what they would like to do to that sheila etc, including the Judges that sit on the Supreme Court, yet the minute that view, thought, gesture, etc is seen or expressed publicly, we all suddenly become righteous, filled with indignation, it does my head in! 25K! what are they trying to prove, hypercritical SOB's Cheer's Mark. PS. "Pussy wagon" I like that, but the Pad comments is definitely OTT. |

On the back of the "here come the strippers" comments by an AFL commentator in the last couple of weeks, along with media attention that has received, I don't blame V8SC for fining Dave for his comments. The last thing I think V8SC want is the same sort of $hit storm that the AFL had with that in the media.
Nice to see he has admitted for going to far..... |

You're obviously filled with righteous indignation of your own to make those comments. You and some others here, make the assumption that all females think the same and should accept sexist comments these days. Sure....some women don't take morons like Reynolds seriously and just let it go. Some others are offended by his brain dead stupid comments and are immediately turned off motorsport. The AFL has recognized the importance of the female demographic to their fan base and respect and foster that following, despite the efforts of some of the players. He got off easy with the 25k fine. The crazy part is that he has great talent. Like many athletes/celebs, he should stick to what he does best. I don't think we have heard the last of this. |

The truth lies somewhere between Mark Petch and porsche91722. We are way too politically correct but Dave was a bit OTT. If it had been a netball comp and the girls had said something about the 'all boy team' in a similar manner, we all would have laughed it off and moved on.
Personally I think the most sexist remark made in the press conference was the journalist who asked the original question 'Are you worried about the slow girls?'. There are plenty of teams running at similar pace to the girls anyone from about position 25 down, why single the girls out on their sex alone? |

I think the point is it's quite rich to fine a guy $25k for a light-hearted off the cuff comment about his peers (team mates) when the organization's "Miss" V8Supercars" competition has less to do with motorsport acumen and more to do with getting their boobs out.
I've regularly seen Reynolds give non-Female peers similar grief. I'm yet to see V8Supercars offer a bloke $20,000 for jumping in his budgie smugglers. |

Lol storm in a teacup. 20k is pocket change for Reynolds. Goes to show the NRL is setting the right example in treating women equally.

Quick query. (Are we allowed to say 'query??). Whats the difference between this and 888 tweeting that a pit lane reporters boyfriend comes too quick?? Equally classless yet somehow acceptable.

Reynolds was obviously not serious and meant no harm, but if society continued on that path could it lead to a downward spiral and more serious consequences for women in the future?.........and I am not a PC person!

This fine is silly. I bet any female racing against him would have rolled their eyes at worst.
If he calls Will Davo a D***head or Moffat a W***er that will be considered ok. |

Well I guess that this rules out the #17 being called the d.c. mobile ?
