How about being a father of a young girl?

At this point you'll end up saying "how about being a human being on the planet earth" to justify this bizarre hill you've picked to die on, tbh

What's the limit of when Thurston should stay silent on mam? If mam rapes a woman should Thurston stay silent?

.

Who said he should stay silent? Once again you miss the point completely, it's not about Ezra Mam.

I hope they eventually put mental gymnastics into the Olympics.

Because you don't even hold qualifiers. You just send the LU Roosters contingent and start counting gold medals.
Knights fans still hold the upper hand. Razor, St. Brett, that bloke who was arrested in USA.

You don't think as an Indigenous lad, and a high profile one at that, he has a lot more of an inherent interest in racist comments made about another indigenous bloke and the punishment for them than he does about a driving offence?

I think as a high profile indigenous advocate, he should be just as interested in the bad things members of his community do, as he would when they are a victim.

That's a more valid point than Karensons lads have raised. Again, though, it's predicated on this being about Mam.

No one, not one person, has answered the question of how Thurston stating that Leniu's suspension for making a racists comment was too lenient is actually about Ezra Mam.

I'm not for or against Thurston, but to be a hypocrite he would have to treat the same subject in different ways. What does his opinion on Leniu have to do with Mam's driving offence?

He's a football commentator. The racist slur was headline news, the drugged up mam driving illegally and crashing causing injuries was headline news.

It's his job to make comments about it.

His job in footy is to discuss footy, he’s a sideline commentator.

His role as an advocate is to push for the wellbeing of indigenous people, saying racism should be met with a 12 match ban is not a sleight on Leniu, nor it it a personal attack.

Spencer needs to pull his head in.

One of those incidents happened on the field during the course of a game. The other didn't. He 'could' have come out and condemned Mam's actions as an indigenous ambassador, as others have said. I don't think because he runs the sideline for channel 9 makes it a necessity to comment on off field and off season incidents in that capacity.

Don't waste your time with Danish on this topic, bloke jumped straight to racism when Ezra got done with his charge.

This isn’t a meltdown at all.

Spencer has every right to confront Thurston for his hypocrisy. Why hasn’t Thurston ever questioned Ezra Mam for his drug driving incident? Answer me that.

For everyone that has had a crack at me for my initial post - back your derogatory comments up.
