Apology To Parramatta Fans From Petero Civoniceva

10 minutes in a locked room with Petero would be suitable punishment in my opinion...

And he'd probably tell them about what they did and how it made him feel, accept their apology, tell them he was sorry for knokcing their beers over, shake their hands and walk away... like someone with Petero's manners and conscience would.

2GB just said that Parra have given a name to the cops. In their hands now.

You'd think, given the publicity around this disgraceful act, that the coward/s involved would show an ounce of decency and come forward and apolgise to Petro and to the club and take whatever medicine was to come their way.

I wouldn't hold my breath though. It's embarrasing that this/these spineless cretins are Eels supporters.

Exactly. And there's a good chance that if they'd come forward and apologised to Petero, it wouldn't be in the hands of the police now.
f**king numbskulls.

Out of ignorance, what law did they break and are they likely to be charged with?

We have racial vilification laws that cover stuff like that.

New South Wales: Anti Discrimination Act (1977)

In New South Wales racial discrimination is unlawful in the areas of education, employment, the provision of goods and services, accommodation and registered clubs. For the purposes of the New South Wales Act, "race" includes colour, nationality, descent, and ethnic, ethno-religious and national origin. The Act also makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the ground that the person has a relative or associate who is of a particular race.
The New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Act also prohibits racial vilification. Racial vilification may in serious cases amount to a criminal offence. Racial vilification under the New South Wales Act is any public act which is capable of inciting hatred towards, serious contempt for or severe ridicule of a person or a group of persons because of their race.

Racist league fans tracked down, given to police

21 minutes ago.
Parramatta officials have identified the two men who racially abused Petero Civoniceva, and have given their names to the police.

The pair had taunted the Panthers captain during Penrith’s win over the Eels at Parramatta Stadium on Sunday, calling him a “monkey” and telling him to “get back in your tree”.

The Eels have now tracked down the men after examining footage taken by Channel Nine’s video cameras, according to the NRL’s Graham Annessley.

This picture identifying the two men has been obtained by 2GB's Ray Hadley Morning Show.

The governing body and Eels officials are waiting to hear back from detectives who are now investigating the incident.

Not being black myself I guess I am not qualified to have an opinion, but I am a little surprised that Pedro was "offended" by these comments. I guess I would be surprised by them (seeing as you would not cop that too often at the footy) , but I just could not see someone as intelligent as Pedro being offended by stupid comments by people who are clearly total losers. My reaction would be almost to be sympathetic to these dopes.
