Footy players wonder why they've viewed as dumb boofheads

This story has been bugging me for days so thought I'd share and see what others think  🙂

The parents did not give permission for the image to be used.

There is a photo on the link and more of the story also.

CHANNEL 9 have refused to apologise to the parents of a baby girl who  was branded "ugly" by panellists on The Footy Show and likened to rugby league  great Peter Sterling.  

Michael and Melanie Richmond, from Avalon on Sydney's northern beaches, said  they were "still in shock and dumbfounded" after a Facebook image of their  firstborn daughter Bella was broadcast on Thursday's episode of The Footy Show  without their permission.
Mr Richmond said the image of his daughter,  taken last year, was posted on his wife's Facebook account.
"I understand  how Facebook works and that when you share photos they become public and there's  nothing you can do," he said.
"The fact is that somewhere, somehow, a  producer has gotten a photo of my daughter and made the decision to put it on  television. I know it's supposed to be tongue in cheek but she's just a baby.  It's not cool."

A fan of the show in the past, Mr Richmond said he  and his wife would be switching off from now on.
A Channel 9 spokeswoman  said the network would not be making any comment or apologising to the family  when approached again today.

The picture of Bella was taken on Mother's Day last year when she was six  months old and posted on Mrs Richmond's Facebook account.

IMO   NO babies are ugly.  It's an oxymoron.  

But typical of The Footy Show who will do anything to get a laugh 

from clods like themselves.

The most inane show on television.  Makes me wonder about the intelligence of those who watch it.
