An Australian Footballer player suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a match on Friday night. He subsequently found himself going instantly viral on TikTok.
Deven Robertson, 22, plays for Brisbane Lions in the AFL (Australian Football League). On Friday, his team played Collingwood in a major clash at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Robertson got into a tackle with rival player Brayden Maynard that left his jersey in tatters.
A subsequent altercation with further players saw him toss away the remnants of his jersey altogether. Rather than run to the bench for a new top, Robertson played on, shirtless, to the amusement of the commentators. A team helper stood on the sidelines with a new jersey, ready to run on, but he was not allowed to do so until a goal was kicked.
Kurt Capewell says he was tricked by producers when he agreed to film a glory hole scene at age 20.

We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
I am tired of white gays thirsting. Don’t talk to me about the next young white thirst, talk to me about their politics, are they allies. But thats not important is it?
We haven’t forgotten Queerty’s MadisonCawthorn obsession and he was a legit Nazi…
Aaron Schock, too — a gay man who passed anti-gay legislation, then committed crimes and was convicted. Lots of half-naked photos of his beach vacations.
This is in response to Brian: I hate being placed in the position of defending Mr. Schock, however, he was accused, but not convicted of any crimes. He pled no guilty and entered into a deferred prosecution agreement and completed his time of supervision, so all charges were dropped. His campaign committee pled guilty to a single misdemeanor count.
There’s more than topless beach videos of mr schock. Someone hacked his phone a while back and and there’s a few dozen+ vids of him doing all sorts of rude and naughty stuff to himself.
How is that American football players wear helmets, pads, etc. and every game a few players are injured, sometimes severely, but Australian football players wear abbreviated basketball uniforms and can even play shirtless, as here, without worry about injury? Not complaining.
Assuming you seriously don’t know the answer, American’s call your football, “soccer”. American football is nothing like the world’s football. You are comparing apples to oranges with your uneducated post.
It’s you who doesn’t know the answer. Aussie-football (as it is referred to several times) is NOT soccer. It is also referred to as Aussie Rules, and Footy. It is somewhere in the middle ground between American Football and Rugby. If you look at the Tic Tok it becomes very obvious, as you can see they are using a football shaped object in the play.
@Den, I stand corrected. I was too busy admiring his pecs to notice it wasn’t a round ball he was kicking. The fact that he held it should have tipped me off also.
Actually, there is increasing scrutiny of the rate of serious head injuries with Australian Rules football. As the game has become rougher (partly due to TV coverage etc) the number of concussions and other serious injuries has escalated. And studies of the long-term consequences of repeated concussions are nothing short of shocking. Many players face serious mental and physical impairment, severe headaches, early onset dementia, etc. The days of players having to wear protective headgear, as in American football, are probably not far off. As the downsides of extreme contact sports become increasingly apparent I’m mystified as to why parents still allow, let alone encourage their kids to play. An alarmingly high percentage of players have impaired mobility and mental function by their thirties or forties, and the exact correlation between head injuries and early dementia are still emerging.
I have to agree with Josh. Head injuries are a huge deal. At least some form of head gear for AFL would be brain saving for some poor blokes. In some cases once you’re hit that’s it. No recovery, and lifelong issues.
@Terry – each to their own sports wise, but Australian Rules is one of the fastest, most spectacular professional sports in the world. It is very skilful, I love it
Australian Rules football is not soccer (no round balls). Neither is it like rugby or American Football, in that there is no running with the ball. The ball is kicked from player to player (or handpassed if a kick is not practical).
And Aussie football players do not wear jerseys; their jumpers are called guernseys.
On a serious note, we have just had a major TV report on homophobia in AFL. There are no out players (past or present) at the elite level.

”Legit Nazi’s” (don’t you love that!) should not be forgotten. You however, should be.

Oh ffs. All white people aren’t evil. I know you’re shocked by that. But it’s true. You’re a bigot.

Agreed!
We can’t be that superficial. Or maybe we are which is sad and the GOP will destroy us, literally

The GOP will destroy us because we look at a man with no shirt on? GTFO.

They get injured.
There are rules.
The hits are nowhere near as hard.
It’s more civilized.
They have actual skills.
They are tender with each other.
