I'd remind people that this is a sensitive issue and to tread carefully when making any posts.

For those not in the know:

Former NRL player Hazem El Masri has been charged over an alleged domestic assault and will face a Sydney court on Thursday.

The 39-year-old former ambassador for White Ribbon, which campaigns to stop violence against women, has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.

"The charges relate to an incident at the man's home (in Bankstown) at about 7.30pm on Monday involving his 25-year-old wife," police said on Tuesday.

El Masri, who played more than 300 games for the Bulldogs during a distinguished rugby league career, has been granted conditional bail to appear at Bankstown Local Court on Thursday.

"White Ribbon is very disappointed to learn of the charges laid against former Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs player and former White Ribbon Ambassador Hazem El Masri," White Ribbon Australia chief executive Libby Davies said.

The former winger was a member of the Bulldogs' 2004 NRL premiership-winning team and held up as a positive role model for young Muslims in Sydney.

El Masri split from his first wife, Arwa, the mother of his three children, last year.

The allegations do not relate to her.

El Masri recently remarried.

Departing NRL chief executive Dave Smith said the former NSW State of Origin player has been stood down from an ambassadorial role with the sporting body.

"There is absolutely no place for domestic violence in our game, it is abhorrent, it is an area we feel very strongly about stamping out as best we can," he said.

"Fans don't want to read all this rubbish about the superstars getting themselves into trouble.

"People have to make good choices and if they don't, there are consequences."

Former NRL player Rhys Wesser has also been stood down from a casual ambassador role with the NRL following recent domestic violence allegations levelled against him.

The Bulldogs released a statement on Tuesday.

"As a club we are committed to our work with White Ribbon Australia to eliminate violence against women and firmly believe there is no place for it in our society," chief executive Raelene Castle said.

"As with any police charge, Hazem will work through the process of the Australian legal system and his engagement as a Bulldogs ambassador is suspended until those proceedings are complete."

country of free speech get use to it

It's also a country that has laws and judicial due process. And hate speech is against the law. That's the country you live in. Get use to it.

I have deleted one of your posts and edited another. Make anymore posts that contain false claims or racist nonsense and you be banned permanently.

Fair warning.

The same goes for anyone who thinks they can post potential defamation or be a dictator regarding forum content.

here is the truth hazem el masri has been charged with two charges of domestic violence it was on the news those are the facts!!!!

The real fact is you shouldn't get pleasure out of trolling about it. Domestic Violence is a serious issue that is plaguing rugby league. Seems to be not just players, but former players as well.

If you think this is a laughable subject, I suggest actively seeking out people who are victims of this, and see if they think your Z grade trolling is funny.

Wake up to yourself.

[Timmah]

Stop trolling internet forums looking for reactions. You will find yourself shitcanned quicksmart if you keep it up.
