Stephanie Rice loses sponsor Jaguar after anti-gay tweet

Stephanie Rice's anti-gay tweet has proved costly Source: Supplied

STEPHANIE Rice has been dumped by sponsor Jaguar Australia for blurting the "other" f-bomb - the incendiary gay slur - on Twitter.

The luxury car maker severed ties after former rugby league star Ian Roberts branded Rice – "and anyone who sponsors her" – a "complete idiot" for an ill-advised tweet referring to the Wallabies' defeat of the Springboks on Saturday.

"Suck on that faggots," she posted. Rice later apologised and removed the comment.

But Jaguar Australia general manager Kevin Goult announced late yesterday: "Jaguar Australia today terminated its relationship with Stephanie Rice, who has been an ambassador for the Jaguar brand in Australia since the start of 2010."

It is not clear whether Rice will retain use of the late-model Jaguar she has been driving around Brisbane, since the company would not reveal the terms of her agreement and its termination.

This comes as a further blow to Rice after shoulder surgery forced a withdrawal from the Commonwealth Games (and her contract with Channel 7 lapsed last month).

It also scotches the swimmer's participation in a major Sydney fashion event this week as Jaguar's "brand ambassador".

Vogue online editor Damien Woolnough, who was to host Rice for an In Bed with Vogue talkfest as part of the mag's global Fashion's Night Out on Thursday, had earlier defended the swimmer's character.

"I've met her a few times. I think she's a lovely girl. From what I can tell, she's got a good nature," he told us.

"But obviously she made a big mistake and hopefully she'll learn from it – and (with) her learning from it, others will as well."

It comes of no surprise to me. Jaguar is a homers car, made in the country with most homers in the whole world - England.
Stephanie Rice should PRAISE the LORD for this opportunity, now she can find a proper sponcer, like GM, FORD or Chrysler.

Why Thank You Brother TSB. It all makes sense now. Being English, they allow gay marriage over there don't they? Didn't Elton John marry his homersexual lover? So this dumping of our multi Gold medalist is not really an anti swimming thing it is an Anti Australian thing.

So JAGUAR are not just faggot supporters they are also RACISTS!!

Indeed they do, Sister. Since Stephanie is a private individual, Jaguar has no business censoring her by not retaining her as a brand ambassador.

Re: Jaguar motor company supports faggots

This is outrageous!

There's not much left of freedom of speech in this country.

You say "nigger" repeatedly on the airwaves, and you have to give up your show.

You use the word "faggots" in reference to a losing sports team, the way any red-blooded sportsman would, and your career goes down the toilet.

Are there any words we can say? Is "spic" okay? How about "blanket ass?"

Demeaning slurs are a normal part of everyday American life, and are integral to winning the war on whatever terror we are fighting that decade.

Without being able to call the Germans "krauts" we would've been overrun and demoralized in WWII.

The word "Gook" got us through most of Vietnam and Korea. "Sand niggers" has proven a useful word in the war in Iraq.

Calling people by their actual ethnic and sexual names is far too humanizing and makes it difficult to overcome the threat they pose.

I say as long as people are not taking the LORD's name in vain or using cuss words, they should be free to express themselves without worry of having to be persecuted or take responsibility.

That's such a wonderful comment. Normally I wouldn't promote heathen poetry, but this post is even better as haiku:

My wife found that extremely amusing, she asked me how that was offensive because all they eat is sauerkraut. My response was "Dear, thats because they smell like sauerkraut, hence the name"

So thank you for that laugh.

And as for the Jaguar cars, I'm sorry but those cars are ugly and terribly expensive. So why would any straight red-blooded American want that? A Ford F-250 works just fine.

Brother, I guarantee you that God will answer that prayer in the affirmative!

Re: Jaguar motor company supports faggots

Hasn't Jaguar always been kind of homerish? I mean they're basically phallic symbols.



Just look at their logo

Re: Jaguar motor company supports faggots

Eh, we car aficionados know that Jags are low-end British crap. Sure, they might be kind of nice when you're poor and only making $100,000 a year, but any self-respecting pastor knows if you're going to drive British to only be seen rolling up in a Bentley or Rolls-Royce.
