Most athletes are content to just sit background in the locker room while a teammate is being interviewed on television. Some might make a strange face or gesture. In Australia, they take out their penises.

Tim Orchard of AFL Tasmania’s Clarence has been suspended for the rest of the season after flashing his penis on television. This wasn’t a Visanthe Shiancoe incident either, as aside from having his junk out, Orchard was fully clothed.

Clarence club president Richard Mulligan said, “We unreservedly apologise for any offence that may have been occasioned by the inappropriate action of the player concerned. Certainly we consider it a very serious matter, one which goes to the very essence of the credibility and the public image of our footy club, and we’ll take action accordingly.”

Tim Orchard indeed issued an apology and will have to undergo counseling and perform community service. Hasn’t he interacted with the community enough already?

Given all of the controversy about the sexual exploits of Australian Football League players, having a guy hang out with his wang out on live TV isn’t going to do anything to improve their image. Or maybe it will get more viewers, who knows?
