Latrell racially abused

[RedVee_8]

well "twig" is a homophobic slur that the LU word filter changes to "twig"

Ok, I’ll insert (in my mind) what I think it may be. We can leave it alone.

Don’t care if he’s 15. Ban the little prick for life.

Bit harsh. Ive heard of worse racism from people who don't get life bans. Some even get made Immortals.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Maybe he meant "Black Dawg"

1. To distinguish (and emphasise a distinction) between "dog", the animal, and "dawg", the slang word that is a friendly term of address. dog can be used disparagingly in English, and it carries disparaging connotations in many other languages. As such, there is often a desire to distinguish the term of address from the common noun.

Kids nowadays right? Whole other language.

Maybe he was saying Latrell got that dawg in him

I've never heard those comments at games. Heard plenty of black this & that tho. Criticism of latrell is racially charged whether ppl want to admit or not.

Are you saying he's above criticism due to his race?

If he owned his behaviour maybe you might have a point , it was heard by more then one person including his father
But he's in denial..

 

[Vibing]

calls for Roosters fans to leave Latrell alone on Friday are hilarious
as long as its not racial ,

he is fair game
just like the 17 players are from the Roosters from Souths fans

 

[CQLeaguey]

Some kid called him a name.

sure sanction the kid, needs to learn it’s not on. but lifetime bans and tripping over yourself to be the most outraged? Well that’s just wank.

 

[macavity]

Can we still abuse him for being the second biggest grub in the game after his mate Cody?

Edgelord somewhere else

Edgelord somewhere else

OK I think he's about 10kg overweight, and it holds him back from being an elite athlete. He's also lazy and a poor reader of play for a fullback. Is it ok for me to say this?

How bout you just be honest & say you don't like him because he's indigenous?!

This whole thing is just the Adam Goodes thing over again

 

[Wizardman]

I will say this about Latrell.....the man has some dirt in his game. So far this year, he has behaved himself. But, Im not a fan of the man.

In saying that, I stand up for him 100% on this issue. He is fair game to criticize in various aspects of his game....but leave the race shit right out of it.

I do get that some people out there like to knock him because of his race though.

Didn't a South Sydney captain call Dean Widders the exact same thing?

Josh Maguire hasn't retired just yet.

The racial abuse heard as an eight-year-old that stirs Latrell Mitchell

Never before have Mitchell and other Indigenous rugby league players had a voice this strong. And some people don't like it.

In 2005, Parramatta back-rower Dean Widders called out Souths captain Bryan Fletcher, who had called him a "black c---" during a match.

"It was a big thing to call it out back then," Widders, who also works for the NRL, says. "But the thing I learned early was that the behaviour you ignore is the behaviour you accept. For past generations, that’s what Aboriginal people did: they didn’t stand up, they didn’t make a noise.

"But I’d be surprised if you heard any of that stuff on the field now because of the education the game has given its players. Our game is inclusive — and the players have driven it and led it."

Point taken.

*in the NRL

twig rhymes with bag it

and the word that rhymes with bag it (or maggot) is old English for a bunch of twigs tied together (as well as a homophobic slur). Therein is why we have twig.

A 15 year old yelled "Black Dog"...

Very unwarranted but its not worth all this media.

I've heard terms like "White Boy".. "Useless white idiot" at games and nothing is said lol

Sure you have. I've been to more football matches than I can count, and I've never heard anything like that.

Sometimes people talk bullshit on multiple levels.

Bryan Fletcher was sacked and fined for that. He also showed a lot of remorse and afterwards assisted Dean Widders with his great work in the aboriginal community. [Source]

That was in 2005. Unfortunately in 2023, there are still some people who are slow learners.
