<p>I 100% from the bottom of my heart, no longer give a fuck.</p> -
The issue I have with whole thing, is here is a guy 36 years old, he's had his first child barely a month ago. This is a life changing experience, but it seems he would rather tell everyone he's got a massive dick.<br><br>
I think the mother of his daughter deserves a bit more than that. -

<p>Lets be honest here, if your dick was truly massive you'd probably mention it every time you got interviewed.</p> -

Methinks Gayle is overcompensating. I bet he has a powerful red sports car too. -
<p>Some quotes from Gayle himself in his autobiography</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These comments pertain to the Mel interview thing: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1018659.html'>http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1018659.html</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">Despite the controversy that ensued, Gayle remains unrepentant five months down the line. "Now T20 is different," he writes, in a serialised extract of his book </span><i>Six Machine</i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">, published in the </span><i>Times</i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">. "It's not Test cricket. It's chilled and fun and let's do things different. So when Mel asks me that question I stay in the T20 mind, and answer informal and fun. I meant it as a joke. I meant it as a little fun. I didn't mean to be disrespectful and I didn't mean it to be taken serious."</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">As Gayle noted, Network Ten's commentary team could be heard laughing on air after the incident. "But someone up above them clearly decided to step in, and a throwaway comment in a fun format escalates and blows up and within hours it has turned into a major international incident," he wrote. </span></p>

<p>Why? If another person falls short of what I consider acceptable behaviour, am I not allowed to say so?</p>

There's no suggestion people are saying he's a crap cricketer because he says some stupid sexist shit while working. I find the whole notion people can't be criticised based on their actions or utterances fucking odd.

In my opinion Chris Gayle has provided enough evidence to substantiate my judgement of him. -
<p>I wouldn't be surprised to see more "interviews" with Gayle from various media outlets. He's click-bait gold.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>He has built a strip club in his bedroom, and people get surprised that he treats females as objects? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Click bait is right, you know what you get with that guy. Great cricketer, but culturally a long way from modern western expectations.</p> -
<p>Hang on, his book is call Six Machine. Awesome</p>

<p>People shouldn't 'run someone down.' However, I think we should be able to say that Gayle was rude and disrespectful in that interview and he has hardly made amends with his actions since then. If Gayle regrets his comments or thinks he has been misunderstood then you may have a point. Yet, it seems like Gayle stands by what he said</p>
