When Spencer Leniu calls Esra Mam a black whatever, should everyone just go, meh dumb footballer saying silly things - they always say dumb shit- move on?

of course not, it's totally different, but that is not equal in comparison because, as I posted, calling a white man white is not against the law in England, so she was guilty of nothing more than drunk and disorderly

If I was a betting man, given her lineage I doubt this will be the last time she disgraces herself. As I posted when the trial started, alcohol, aka truth serum, has a tried and tested record of exposing human frailties. And she carried on like a prize pig in the Twickenham nick. It's just a matter of whether past or future occurrences make it to the public domain or if she is afforded some protection IMO...

Of course calling someone white is not against the law in england ... calling someone black isnt either .... that alone is not an issue ... its of course about context

Unfortunately people have backed the world into this corner where they are so desperately trying to make a mountain out of every mole hill - and people cheer it on when its all going one way .... but this time they put the shoe on the other foot

Sam Kerr, not guilty. Logical outcome given the law, and I have no issue with how she behaved given the context of what happened and how it happened on the night.

If she was a white Australian soccer player (or NRL player), no-one would probably have batted an eyelid.

I look forward to Sam being reappointed as Matildas captain shortly.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If she was white she probably wouldn't have used the policeman's race in an insulting way.

 

[the phantom menace]

Maybe, but she didn't break any law in doing so - and based on the evidence of the night it could be argued she was speaking the truth.

Maybe if she wasn't as drunk she could have come up with better insults than that, but the same could be said about most of your attempted insults on here...
