NRL introduces Spectator Code of Conduct

[Chins get the wins]

To be fair the attitudes of fan bases is very different. Sokkah fans will organise league wide boycotts and walkouts. NRL fans sort of just accept things. That said the A-League has a dreadful TV deal making it more vulnerable to fans not showing up.

It's also an awful quality product

In my day I liked to stomp on heads but it’s a different time. I am okay with this.

After a few incidents in the last couple of years (mostly around racial abuse) I think this is purely a legal thing to help strengthen the NRL's case if they want to bring action against someone.

This post is absolutely on point.

If you are a person who drops lots of expletives at players and refs and are not being overly personal, this is not aimed at you. This is not aimed at a majority of people who attend the football.
This is aimed at an ugly minority of people who use homophobic, religious or racial insults towards people who are at an NRL game. It is also aimed at those few who deliver vile and personal insults towards a player or their family. Frankly, I don't want those type of grubs at a rugby league game either.

Depends on the player. Scum like JDB or Lodge deserve to cop abuse

Massive difference between insulting Jackson Hastings sister and insulting Lodge for his prior actions. This code of conduct is much more aimed at the type that hassled Hastings.

That's likely the intent, and the place it was developed from.

Will it be applied like this though.

I can't see a clause relating to not getting your dick out in the stadium so it's play on babes

More people watching on TV seems to be the long term plan

Does one out of three make me a bad person?

Better dig out those cardboard cutouts they used during covid...

Harold Shipman and Maddie McCann got this

You are not a bad person if you sledge the homophobic Christians. Any other religion that has homophobia as part of its practice, it will make you a bad person.

So . . . if you can't call players "useless merkins" . . . Parra better have a new halfback lined up for a mid-season call up.

It sounds to me like an attempt to stop dickheads from hurling abuse and obscenities at games. I remember going to a game about 15 years ago with my dad, brother and nephew who was about 6 y/o. This absolute gronk was screaming out the c word at the top of their lungs. Being responsible and positive role models my brother and I politely threatened to perform some dentistry work on the young man. He ignored us and carried on, but then his two mates shot through and he quickly shut his gob and a few minutes later he found himself another seat.
We all love a bit of banter at games, or at LU but people with a potty mouth aren't required.

I’m sure they’ll find somebody new… and bald
