    My first impression when I heard her say it, was that it did sound a little racist ... I mean isn't that a racist's favourite line: "go home to where you came from"? In saying that, after watching her follow-up interview, it did seem like she did not mean it that way, and she was genuinely sorry.

    Still, he's been behaving like a twat all tournament.

      Lots of behaving badly it seems. Just wonder why everyone chooses to express their views so publicly-just seems to be a bad situation made worse. Maybe they need to take time and compose their thoughts to avoid the tennis shoe being firmly implanted in the mouth.

        I was listening to an interview on Radio National this evening and the interviewer was questioning as to whether this had been blown up as part of the 'outrage industry' . She was implying that with the advent of Twitter etc that often somewhat intemperate or Ill thought out comments are fed upon by the media and whipped up into something larger than they deserve. I think there may be some credence to this. Dawn is pretty old school, she must be in her 70's now, and as I recall has a bit of her own history of larrakin behaviour as a young swimmer at the Commonwealth games many moons ago.
