Proving once again that women might be the bane of every man's existence, a former Australian rugby player was put on two years probation after punching a man for calling him a poof. Meli Allen was wearing a purple cashmere sweater because his girlfriend had bought it for him and he didn't want to offend her.

Allen claimed that he punched Ryan Phillpot last November because one of his friends said, "You poof, you f$@king fag," to Allen. When Allen approached them, they continued to insult them so he punched one of them in the nose.
