Negative leads to Motivation
In Australia, The Melbrone Club Cricket Team had a winning game in the Big Bash League. One significant player, Chris Gayle who plays the batsman position, especially played a great game. As a result, he was invited to an interview after the game but it did not turn out so well for him. Chris Gayle, got into trouble with and female reporter in Australia. He made, what is being called a sexist comment, towards. Chris said to the female reporter “Your eyes are beautiful, hopefully we can win this game and then we can have a drink after as well. Don’t blush, baby”. After his remark, viewers could clearly see that she did not feel comfortable. She even expressed, in a later interview, that she felt that what he said was inappropriate. The cricket team didn’t know that he would be in trouble just for saying a few words to the reporter. He was fined up to 10,000 dollars for the sexist words. He said that he didn’t mean anything to offend her. He felt bad about what he said to her, then tried to apologize after the incident. After all of the controversy between the female reporter and Chris Gayle, he just wanted things to get back to normal. He was able to quickly return his focus to meeting his goals for the season. Chris Gayle hit a 12-ball half-century to set the record for the fastest fifty in T20 cricket.
Ugh, this was such a painful interview to watch. It was inappropriate, but the fine seems hefty to me.
