I certainly wouldn't be laughing it off that someone has chosen to use a word that has been used historically as a racial slur. I would be highly offended that they thought that was in the slightest bit ok.
I'm not sure what word was used. I'm assuming it was the f word, like Finlayson. The word has historically been used to denigrate gay people and its use is problematic as it infers that there is something wrong with being gay. It doesn't really matter what the sexuality of the person it is...
When you have guys like Pink, Biggie and Stephens getting a game, and McDonald as a captain, the list is a shambles. Add to that players like LDU and Zurhaar looking like they can't wait to leave. Shambles.
What is Thomas doing with himself this year? Is he training/playing anywhere? If he's had a year off not doing much it won't be that easy for him to just pick it up again.
Next weekend will be interesting. If they get past Melbourne I can see the Suns beating them in Darwin. Not saying they will but I wouldn't be shocked with an upset.
Good mate. Next time you'll think about the effect those kinds of words have on LGBTQ+ people who have to put up with a lifetime of abuse.
Hope he get booed mercilessly when he returns if that's his attitude.
