Hate Crime in Super XV

Post by BaggyTrousers »

NSW Waratahs forward Jacques Potgieter has apologised for the "offhand" homophobic slur that has resulted in a $20,000 fine from the Australian Rugby Union (ARU).
All round good egg and champion of liberal causes David Pocock complained twice at least to the ref, but he took no action, happily the ARU have. Potgieter is hit in the pocket for twice referring to Brumbies players as "faggots".

Slap it up him, though of course many of you fruit hating dinosaurs will find this far too left wing and Millibandish for your liking. :roll:
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Awk sure it is was just banter. Good to see a no nonsense approach.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

I'm concerned that Pocock could say the phrase homophobic slurs during a rugby game

Most players I know can barely shout yes 9
