If he wore that at a family event, it makes me wonder how he was raised.Parrulo said:that moment when a rider can't even wear whatever he wants in a private family event . . . .

I honestly can't believe some people are defending the shirt. The only excuse for wearing that is if he lost a bet, imo. Makes him look like a complete, utter tool. Let's be honest. I knew "that guy" - the guy that would wear a shirt like that. A shirt that talked about the size of your junk or your "prowess" something equally crude and sophomoric. Maybe you laughed for a second but even at that age you're thinking "What a tool. He just doesn't get it - does he realize how stupid and immature he looks?" Sadly, In most cases that guy continued to be a tool the rest of his life. I'm sure some of you knew that guy too (maybe some of you were that guy).
That said, I'm basing my opinion on my experience and community. I don't know anything about growing up in Slovakia. Perhaps a shirt like that is normal and no one thinks anything of it. Maybe you can go to dinner with your sisters, mother, and grandmother wearing something like that. Frankly, I don't know.
Didn't really have a problem with the boob signing. Didn't the girl ask him to do it?

honestly, i hope you all like your moral high ground, just be careful not to fall somewhere along your life.
Parrulo said:ya all his family must have been extremely offended with that t-shirt, because back in good old Slovakia everyone knows english
they did a really poor job raising him . . .

Caruut said:Why are we so surprised that, when we maintain a tradition like having podium that looks at those girls as nothing but objects, someone ends up treating them like objects? In my opinion, podium girls don't really belong in the 21st century, and when things like this happen the culture that tolerates them is more to blame than the individual.
katkotom said:well, I bet you wouldn´tit is just a silly shirt anyone can buy it and wear it
there are tons of similar sh** available on the web - http://www.zazzle.com/my_****_your_*****_good_times_shirts-235085726603873917
jaylew said:Sure, I've seen all manner of crass shirts, usually in shops or on the internet. The thing is, most people would never actually wear one. Ask yourself honestly - would you?
Would you wear that somewhere where people's mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, etc... could see it?
Parrulo said:that moment when a rider can't even wear whatever he wants in a private family event . . . .
anyway to be honest my opinion about all of this is very simple, people like to feel like they are on some sort of moral high ground regarding others, particularly the more successful.
Parrulo said:I very much agree with you, i saw no harm in what he did, but knowing how the press is and how society is this days, he should know better and simply avoid the trouble.

Trudgin said:This may have been said in jest, but i love the guy, we have so needed him in the sport.
In the same way that smoking a joint does not lead to injecting heroin, pinching someones **** does not lead to rape. the boy has been villified like the next Jimmy Saville.
and lets remember the week before she was kissing Sagans cheek on the podium of Gent - Wegelem. And if he wins Amstel Gold, there is a good chance she'll be doing it again.. and there is no way he will be able to stop himself from making a show of that.
Love the boy....
SKSemtex said:Please, stop this BS. The quantity of bordells has nothing to do with sexual behavior, but with economic situation. 80% of Czech bordels are on Bavarian border to serve the German pigs.
I am 100% sure that man respect woman in Slovakia and Czech republic much higher that e.g in Italy.
Caruut said:I'm saying that growing up and living in a culture where that sort of behaviour is tolerate can, over time, teach someone that women don't have full rights over their bodies. That in some way men "deserve" access to them.
