Kyle Sandilands brutally mocks Raygun’s PhD in dance after Olympic Games breakdancer’s disastrous performance in Paris
As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in education and entertainment, I find myself deeply saddened by the recent events involving Raygun, the Olympic breakdancer. While it is important to maintain a sense of humor in my writings, I cannot help but feel a pang of sympathy for this individual who has faced immense ridicule for her performance at the Paris Olympics.
On Monday morning, Kyle Sandilands jokingly questioned the difficulty of Raygun’s PhD, implying it was relatively straightforward to obtain.
Over the weekend, Australian university lecturer Rachel Gunn, aged 36, garnered unwanted attention due to a dismal performance in the breakdancing event at the Paris Olympics. Her scores, unfortunately, were all zeros.
In the course of revealing aspects of her professional background, radio personality Kyle, aged 53, made a remark about Rachael’s dance degree, even though he expressed empathy towards her.
Initially, the radio personality from KIIS FM stood up for the dancer after Jackie ‘O’ Henderson chuckled at her routine.
Jackie, 49, responded with, “Wow, it seems wonderful, doesn’t it? But isn’t she quite large? I mean, is it truly necessary to check on her?” when Kyle empathized with Rachael.
I asked for clarification, saying, “Could you elaborate on ‘huge’? Do you perhaps mean it as a source of global ridicule and embarrassment?” To which he agreed, stating, “Yes, exactly.”
Newsreader Brooklyn Ross chimed in with: ‘Did she think she was incredible?’
In this instance, Kyle made a comment about Rachel’s educational background by stating: “Indeed, she does have a university teaching position… Her Ph.D. is in dance, which might not require excessive effort to obtain.”
As someone who has been a performer myself, I can empathize with the young woman in this situation. I remember my first performance like it was yesterday – nerves, sweaty palms, and a desire to stand out. However, trying to be unique for uniqueness’s sake is not always the best approach. In my experience, authenticity and passion are far more important than trying to be different for the sake of being different. Unfortunately, it seems that this young woman’s attempts at originality fell flat with the audience, resulting in zero points and a feeling of embarrassment. It’s a tough lesson to learn, but I hope she takes it as an opportunity to grow and continue honing her craft.
When asked about his thoughts while watching Rachel breakdance, Kyle replied, “It struck me that I could have represented Australia as well.”
At Macquarie University, Rachel serves as a professor. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in modern music there, and later, she completed her Doctorate in Cultural Studies.
Her Ph.D. research focused on the cultural aspects of breakdancing in Sydney and its connection to gender. Subsequently, she penned several scholarly articles exploring this subject.
Queensland Senator Gerard Rennick recently criticized the higher education system on Facebook, arguing that it should not have allowed a PhD study focusing on this topic in the initial place.
He argued that, just as breakdancing might not be suitable for the Olympics, it’s reasonable to think that taxpayers should not fund universities to research or teach it either.
To set the record straight, I’ve got nothing personal against breakdancing – absolutely! It’s a valid form of leisurely entertainment. Yet, in my humble opinion, it doesn’t warrant public funding. That’s where I draw the line.
As a hardworking taxpayer who has been footing the bill for my entire adult life, I can’t help but wonder: just how many unnecessary and pointless courses are being offered by our universities, subsidized by my hard-earned money? With rising inflation and stagnant wages, it feels like a slap in the face to see my taxes going towards courses that seem more like hobbies than practical education. I’ve struggled to make ends meet for years, while watching my hard-earned dollars go towards courses that don’t seem to benefit society or prepare students for real-world jobs. It’s disheartening to say the least.
Having earned my PhD in a field that I am passionate about, I’ve come to realize that academic qualifications do not necessarily equate to real-world proficiency. Throughout my career, I’ve encountered numerous individuals who boast impressive credentials but fall short when it comes to practical application. While I believe that advanced degrees provide valuable knowledge and skills, they are just one piece of the puzzle in mastering a subject. Life experiences, hands-on training, and personal dedication play equally significant roles in becoming truly proficient in any field.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but echo the sentiments of many others who find it regrettable and disappointing to see university students spending their precious time on such matters. One individual expressed it perfectly: ‘It’s an absolute shame that this is what our future leaders are choosing to focus on today.’
‘She’s living proof that universities are embarrassing,’ another added.
A different person commented: ‘It’s evident that her goal for attending the Olympics was met, and everything was according to plan.’
“While breakdancing can be an enjoyable pastime, I don’t believe it has a place within educational settings or as a public expense.”
After Rachel reappeared alongside her Australian colleagues prior to the Olympic Games closing event.
The breakdancer has been hailed as if she were a cult figure, following her performance of the moves that catapulted her into internet fame, albeit notoriously so.
After my less-than-ideal debut in the initial women’s event, I decided to keep a low key and focus on learning from the experience. However, I couldn’t resist joining my esteemed fellow Olympians in our touching appearance during the grand closing ceremony on Sunday. It was a heartwarming moment that truly encapsulated the spirit of unity and perseverance within our athletic community.
Video footage saw her showing off her iconic moves to huge ovation from her Australian teammates.
In an exhilarating moment I’ll cherish forever, I found myself hoisted aloft by the mighty Aussie rower Angus Widdicombe! With the crowd roaring, I reenacted my iconic kangaroo dance, a move that left fans worldwide in stitches.
Many notable individuals have stepped up to support Raygun following her act, with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese being one of them. He praised her for giving a commendable effort during the performance.
He praised Raygun, saying she did well, and expressed his appreciation for her, speaking to the media in Adelaide on Sunday.
‘That is in the Australian tradition of people having a go. She’s had a go representing our country, and that’s a good thing.
‘Regardless if they’ve earned gold medals or simply given their best effort, what truly matters is their participation. The real value lies in taking part.’
In three consecutive matches, Raygun was outperformed by her competitors, ending each game with a total score of 0-54. After the event, she acknowledged that her athletic abilities were no match for the tricks and spins of her more youthful adversaries.
