One of the biggest propeller heads in Rugby League is set to keep his job at News Corp as the company announced today that hundreds of jobs will be lost in a restructuring of their operations.
Buzz Rothfield, the negging boyfriend of God’s winter game, will tragically keep his weekly column in the Daily Telegraph this season while countless other more competent regional journalists will be left without a job.
Despite never really playing the sport – or any sport, Rothfield has built a career on writing about it and dribbling about it on television, which has some in the game wondering why we even know who he is.
Nevertheless, the news comes as the NRL resumes their 2020 season this evening thanks to the efforts of Peter V’Landys and his dedicated team around him.
Speaking to The Advocate this morning, a spokesperson from the NRL said they’ve never been more excited.
“Today is a great day in the history of our game,” they said.
“In saying that, we look forward to Buzz Rothfield trying to tear it down. But, I think we’ve gone over his head here and spoke to News Corp directly to keep him in line. What’s Buzz without a platform? Just another gibbering old bastard trying to keep up with the checkout person at ALDI,”
“Up the Broncs.”
More to come.
