Breaking news: AFL coach swears

AussieRulesBlog thinks we’re getting just a bit too precious when Alastair Clarkson is the subject of media reports because he swore.

 

Sure, it was on the field during an under-age football match. Yes, it would have been better had it not happened.

 

And, yes, every one of those kids would have seen graphic television footage of pretty much every AFL coach silently uttering some expletive or other. And let’s not forget about players missing shots for goal and exclaiming “Point!”, but starting it with an F.

 

It also appears Clarkson is not guilty of the “expletive-laden rant” that one radio report had accused him of.

 

Please, let’s not blow this grain of sand up into a mountain.
