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?
He has an inherent issue in being noticed.

So he doesn't care about children? Mam nearly killed one of them

Lol that's a sane take.

He's an Indigenous man of public standing, in a role where he makes comments on rugby league for a living. He's entitled (I would suggest expected) to comment on racism against Indigenous players in RL.

The idea that it's about Ezra Mam is cooked. And not even loony Spencer appears to have taken that stance?

you don’t think as a holder of a drivers license and a father he might have an inherent interest in some absolute flog high on drugs and unlicensed seriously injuring a young girl then being hit with a wet lettuce leaf by the courts and NRL?

The duality of the NRL - 8 games for calling someone a name v 9 games for being on drugs, unlicensed driving, and injuring a child.

Anyone that thinks these 2 wrongs are even remotely equal needs some careful and honest self reflection.
I think Mam got off lightly because the NRL and the courts didn't take into account the effects it had on the real victim in all of this. Spencer Leniu.

I think it's ludicrous to equate holding a driver's license with being an Indigenous advocate.

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.

LeBron did similar to Stephen smith before an nba game for saying his son shouldn’t be an nba player

Spencer's body language doesn't look good in that video, looks quite aggressive. Better hope channel 9 don't lodge a formal complaint to the NRL imo. They are one of the bill payers and nothing in that footage looks good for him, including only walking away when another player intervened.
