Controversies Involving Sam Newman
Sam Newman is the most controversial figure on The Footy Show, and has been the subject of many complaints to the Nine Network. In May 2008, the Nine Network removed Newman from the show indefinitely following a major controversy over allegedly sexist jokes. He was reinstated soon after.
Newman has also had a number of well-publicised off-screen incidents that are often brought up during the show.

Famous quotes containing the words involving, sam and/or newman:
“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Kick at the rock, Sam Johnson, break your bones:”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“This is what the Church is said to want, not party men, but sensible, temperate, sober, well-judging persons, to guide it through the channel of no-meaning, between the Scylla and Charybdis of Aye and No.”
—Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890)
