Another Sam Thaiday dog act

I'm not struggling or sooking, may I suggest you re-read what you've written.
You think it's 'karma' for Thaiday to cop a grub act in the future because he's a grub and so deserves it, yet you think someone saying Bromwich deserved it because he's a grub is not karma, but victim blaming, what exactly is the distinction in your mind?

Obviously reading isn't a strong point. I said " He'll get what's coming one day ". I didn't mention him coping a grub act in a future game, just that he'll get what he deserves one day, as all people do.

Victim blaming is when you state that Bromwich deserved what he got because of what he had done in previous games, by trying to apportion blame on Bromwich, when in this incident another person committed the thuggish act on him, that is blaming the victim.

You cannot be this stupid, in all honesty, you can't be.

I hope Jesse is reading this saying 'thanks for the moral support, great people of LU'.

We care a lot.

Are you referring to an incident that happened 20 minutes after the fact? Gee I knew Suliasi was a freak but I didn't realise he was also a clairvoyant!

The penalty had not even been blown when Vunivalu was trying to take it out of Boyd's grasp, why would he willingly hand it over then? If he did it you may have a point about being the dumbest player in the competition...

That's the problem I'm, and I'm sure other Broncos fans, are having. I'll cop to Thaiday's actions being against the spirit of the game, but the version of events being relayed on here is so woefully distorted it needs to be addressed.

Apologies if they were not penalties, but both instances the turnover had been awarded and "dumbass" Boyd knew exactly what he was doing, he is a dick regardless of how good he sometimes is

And in your scenario, according to you, Thaiday will have deserved whatever theoretical misfortune he gets in the future, because he is a grub. There is no distinction between what I said of Bromwich and what you said of Thaiday, despite your desperate rationale to the contrary.

In your own words, substituting 'Bromwich' for 'Thaiday';

"Victim blaming is when you state that 'Thaiday' deserved what he got because of what he had done in previous games, by trying to apportion blame on 'Thaiday', when in this incident another person committed the thuggish act on him, that is blaming the victim."

Just to refresh your memory "Bromwich deserved it, I have no doubt he would have done the same thing to someone else, he's an absolute grub"

Compare that to Thaiday will get what's coming one day . Different & you know it, but continue to play semantics.

I'm not real fond of Thaiday, I detest racist jokes, and I hate the term "political correctness" (it is an "invention" by powerful sooks, who want to quiet people without much of a voice anyway, by ironically calling them out for, in their view, trying to silence others...).

But I thought Thaiday was pretty obviously mocking the sort of casual racism that goes in to a saying like "if it ain't white, it ain't right", and/or mocking the sort of idiotic saying used to "justify" a "wrong/mismatched" racial partnership.

I don't have a huge problem with what he said except for the fact that once again this fat fool thinks he's a comedian.

You're not funny sam, you're just annoying.

I have a lot of beautiful black woman in my life.

Let me tell you, being told they are only worth being a 'jungle fever' phase and that they aren't right because they aren't white by someone who was supposedly a leader in the indigenous community has not gone over well. It may seem like a harmless joke to some, but when you see what indigenous women have copped for decades, that these kind of comments still float around to portray black women as inferior to white women, that you can't bring a black girl home to the family etc you might understand the anger
