Reporter attacked while live on TV

Reporter Ben Davis from Channel 7 was harrased and eventually attacked while trying to report on the Melbourne vs Brisbane game outside Olympic Park last night.

As a Brisbanite I am so dissapointed to see that they were wearing Broncos jerseys...

If only Shane Webke, who usually reports with Davis was there, these little stains might not have been so tough with 5 against 1.

Pathetic.

Clip for anyone interested.

I could understand it, in a strange kind of way, if it involved reporting on something highly contentious. That's not to in any way condone such behaviour, but at least I could understand the motive if someone didn't like what was being said (I've seen quite a few cases of outright mis-reporting on contentious political issues).

But sport? That's nothing short of ridiculous and just not on.

Anglo Saxon yobbo culture at it's worst. Embarrassing.
