Suck on that maggots!

Hear me roar!

Stephanie Rice may be out of the Commonwealth Games, but her big nose found its way into the spotlight to deliver another winner for the Herald Sun.

The resulting outrage was well deserved – sportspeople and other public figures in general would do best to avoid tweeting tweets that could be interpreted as offensive to certain social groups, let alone the ‘F’ word.

And gay sports stars, particularly singularities like Ian Roberts, have absolutely every right to fight back.

Having removed the comment with least required apology Rice sends a clear message that she doesn’t give [another 'F' word].

The question is, could Steph’s seemingly careless demeanour be more than a premature verbal ejaculation aimed at minorities?

One could argue that the darling swimmer simply projects a hegemonic image of a woman on top of her game, who enjoys watching Australia win at footy and every so often engages in healthy heterosexual activities with her fellows, unlike our former son. 

Aussie hero, pays her taxes

Why would Davenport un-sponsor this Aussie icon now?

Edit: Bad Jaguar, bad!
