WHY THE JULY 2018 JERK OF THE MONTH WINNERS GOT NOMINATED…

NEYMAR

Why Vote for him?

Spent most of the World Cup falling over and complaining about it.

Sure, he was kicked beyond acceptable levels for most of the World Cup, but his theatrics were appalling and brought ridicule on himself.

Jerk Rating: 3/10 – He is supremely talented, but a bit of a prima donna, which can come across as Jerk-like. More petulant than jerk, but on notice for an upgrade after the World Cup.

CHANNEL SEVEN

Why Vote for them?

For hiring Michael Slater for their Summer of Cricket.

The main reason they lost our Channel 7 v Fox Sports Cricket Coverage Debate.

And for most of their other programming.

Jerk Rating: 7/10 – Home of MKR and other reality shows which are almost worse.

TODD GREENBERG

Why Vote for him?

For continually running the game of rugby league as if he is paid by commission for every fan the game’s losing.

Jerk Rating: 6/10 – Probably nice enough, but his running of NRL stinks.

AND THE REST OF THE JULY 2018 JERK OF THE MONTH NOMINATIONS

ELON MUSK

Why Vote for him?

One of the richest and smartest people on the plnet, but that doesn’t stop you being a Jerk.

His involvement in the Thai Soccer Team cave rescue brought him to our attention, for his reaction when the rescuers rejected the chance to use his one person sub. Fair enough your feelings are hurt, but calling one of them a “Pedo” is a jerk-like reaction, that gets its full reward.

Jerk Rating: 4/10 – only new but more of this and he shall climb.

DONALD TRUMP

Why Vote for him?

There are usually way too many reasons for us to list each month, his name is usually one of the first penned in at the monthly Jerk of the Month Nomination Committee meeting, but his sterling work in Helsinki, and the aftermath of covering up, fake news and spin proves why he is so loved and respected as the greatest President of all Time. And a July 2018 Jerk of the Month nomination.

Jerk Rating: 9.9/10 – As close as to the perfect Jerk you can get anywhere in the world

VLADIMIR PUTIN

Why Vote for him?

The other half of the Trump-Putin comedy duo. 

Vote for his efforts in Helsinki alongside Trump.

Or his appearance at the World Cup final.

Or that he is unlikable, yet still hangs out with Steven Seagal.

Jerk Rating: 8/10 – But are you going to argue with him?

TENNIS JERKS

Why Vote for them?

A spot is usually reserved for Kick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic for the Wimbledon month with jerkdom almost guaranteed.

This time it is only for their usual efforts at Wimbledon of raising the hopes of the Australian public before surrendering meekly.

Jerk Rating: 10/10 – The dictionary definition of Jerk.
