The fact that you needed to explain yourself blows my mind!

Would it be okay if stab said he was gay?

I don't think there is anything to gain from coming out. The LBG community might want to use them as a face for things but not be interested. That would probably upset them. And on the opposite side, the true homophobes would come out to play unfortunately.

Now I'm even more confused!

Pretty much, there is a South Park episode on it too. 'The F Word.' The whole point is words change over generations but some people hold onto these words, additionally, people do like to be outraged.

How good is society? I'm right, you're wrong therefore you're not smart like me. Also, it was a spelling mistake, it was supposed to be fart smella but that probably just proves you right now that I think about it. Hmm, where can I find some rope...

And with the amount it gets used in society in a non homosexual environment where guys genuinely aren't homophobic tells me otherwise but agree to disagree.

Agreed, different circles for sure. I definitely don't call homosexuals f****ts, if that's how you identify homosexuals, that's on you.

Crazy how something that could have been solved so simply has blown up!

Well, I stand corrected after being presented with such strong evidence and reasoning!

Context when the word is not used in the literal sense. The word is now basically a replacement for words like d***head and f***head. It's like people don't understand context or words changing meaning over years. And if Izak said it to a gay player, the player is well within his rights to let...

Right. My friend wants further clarification. He likes women but really likes visiting Thailand. Does he qualify as one?

What did he do that was wrong? I'm still waiting to be educated on the rules of when this word is acceptable and unacceptable.

So you think education is key and not calling people racist is the way to go? I agree. But what adds to the confusion is you say people of colour like people are supposed to know your genetic background. For example, I'm a racist if I called Scott Boland or Jason Gillespie an ape years ago. Is...

What could he have done? He could have taken the high road and used his status as a platform after the incident to educate. I was in my mid twenties at the time and I sure as hell didn't know it was a racist term but at the same time, I'd never called an indigenous person that. Imagine...

Pretty much nailed it here. Throughout this, he portrayed himself as a self centred hypocrite. He was quick to anger and judgement when he got offended by being called ape but when he angered fans with the war dance, he was quick to blame society for taking offence to it without considering...

Interesting you mention education is important, why is it that people can't be educated that words have different meanings in context and different parts of society? Why do we want the word to be associated with the gay community so bad?

And don't forget the list of words that groups can call each other but people from other groups can't.

The word has changed meaning over the years and it's one that sounds edgy. It is not uncommon to say this word between friendship groups. Most people who use this word would never say it to a homosexual as the meaning would change to an offensive term. Context is important and it is so obvious...

Okay, 50cm then, is that supposed to be a free? Trying to figure out the rule. I've always thought it was about intent. Would hate to receive a free kick for that personally.

Is it supposed to be a free kick when a player throws the ball back to the umpire for a ball up but fluffs the throw? Genuine question.

South Park explains this.

Agreed, so disappointing that we may not see a debut from Edwards. There is no reason he couldn't have played a handful of games.

Agreed, then we can back the boys in again next week. Running out of wallpaper very quickly this club!

Beautiful kick, yet inside 50 and in the SANFL.

He can't kick that far anymore. When's the last time he kicked a behind from outside 50 let alone a goal?

Laird is not having a very good season. Other teams don't worry about him. The Crows managed to win a game by 90 points without him. What does he bring that's so important? As for evidence, him getting smothered by Dangerfield and throwing the ball against the Power were atrocious. But others...

You'll be writing this exact same thing in six months when Nicks gets re-signed.

Settle down mate, it actually takes great skill to get fifteen touches to half time without a score involvement.

Not saying he wasn't racially profiled but an 18 year old wouldn't have much experience going through loan applications, the questions that go with it and how he responded. It could have felt a bit daunting. I wish he went into detail on what happened so people can be educated on what can cause...
