Let me guess.
Betts also an attention seeker with a personality disorder?
Wingard as well?
I mean wake up idiots and stop trying to discredit the messenger.

From a Collingwood perspective I'm not sure what else they can do after .Maguire and Buckley extended the olive branch
On the other hand I can understand why HL may not believe Collingwoods intentions are noble given he may think he has already been down that path and seemingly hasnt felt he got a satisfactory hearing
But sometimes in life you have to meet half way and be prepared to listen to the other party in a dispute.
It's a pity this is playing out like this where there unless things change there will likely be no amicable outcome but a lingering and unresolved resentment

Hopefully this move by the Pies meets with Heritier’s approval and he gets some resolution which enables him to move on with his life. No doubt the cynics will find something to complain about though.

After perusing Harry’s latest Twitter offerings, those ‘shrooms appear to have caused him lasting damage.
If Collingwood was truly concerned, they’d contact US authorities and have him assessed.
Psilocybin is chemically similar and produces similar effects to the hallucinogenic used by Cy Walsh. Harry's mind clearly wasn't "ready" and he became a victim.

Where are the threads/post that are anti Betts or Wingard?
Going to be great seeing Eddie and Harry mediate wherever it plays out, I sincerely hope they both grow. Two of the Woods biggest idiots of more recent times growing together.

Collingwood have put together a board of Collingwood people to conduct an investigation into whether Collingwood was racist or not..
Can't think of any better way to do it.......
Public derision & denial = public acknowledgement & apology.

The racist and or liar has returned after crawling away after being pegged as a racist and or liar.
Who was the Collingwood player who told you HL was abused through his career? Are you lying about that or are you a racist by your own definition (being silent in the face of racism) or you are lying. Which is it
You are a hypocrite of the worst kind. Crawl away creep
Predict the outcome of the Board inquiry.Collingwood have put together a board of Collingwood people to conduct an investigation into whether Collingwood was racist or not..

I suggest they will find small pockets of racism which will be acknowledged but nothing structural. Despite this, the Pies will implement an education program for all staff and players.
That will be it. Matter sorted
Good prediction, moral giant.
So these are the players that are still on the list before the end of 2013:
-Scott Pendlebury (2005 Draft)
-Steele Sidebottom (2008)
-Ben Reid (2006)
-Brodie Grundy (2012 )
-Tim Broomhead (2012)
All raging racists I'm sure
This is precisely why Collingwood is very much doing the right thing in the way they are handling it. Rather than being subjected to the court of the moral narcissists

**** you're weird man.. obsessed with me. You just can't cop that Collingwood have failed in providing an acceptable work environment.
I've denounced racism throughout this thread against your rubbish. Not naming the player who confirmed it to me is not being silent in the face of racism, you are delusional, it's just not throwing a bloke under the bus. If he wanted it to be public he'd say it publicly and that's not my decision to make. There are public confirmations from other players as I've pointed out multiple times (McNamara, Egan, Krakouer & Davis) so naming the former team mate doesn't really add anything. I know it happened & I'm comfortable with you spewing all the vitriol you like and calling me whatever you want... liar, racist, whatever. At the end of the day it makes you seem childish that you can't separate the love & loyalty you have for your club from their failings here and the public corroboration of Lumumba's claims from multiple players. Carry on.

Yeah, seems pretty straight forward.. We made mistakes, we have rectified them but it was nothing too deep and we've done some sensitivity training and offered H his private apology & offered him the chance to say his piece. That'll be it.
Wait & see what comes of it, maybe things go a step further and we see an independent audit and then maybe eventually a public apology.
Being offended at someone after being called a racist on no basis is pretty natural. It doesn't make me a "weird man" or "obsessed"
You called me a racist on no basis and then came up with your "not being silent in the face of racism" as a justification for calling me a racist rather than apologising like a decent person would.
You are not "denouncing racism" by calling anyone who doesn't agree with you a racist. You are not addressing racism by calling anyone a racist who has a different perspective....you are actually doing the opposite. You are just using "racist" as a self indulgent slur
As I have stated previously, I am sure that HL was subjected casual racism at Collingwood...the kind of casual racism that was pretty ubiquitous from my experience 15 years ago when he was developing his friendship groups around the club. By his own account this stopped as soon as he requested it to be. It doesn't make it right but the wanting a rivisionist public hanging of Collingwood and, particularly, Nathan Buckley by todays cancel culture standards isn't doing anything to address racism.

I've explained myself in detail in every post and no I'm not trying to cancel/hang Buckley/Pies but Lumumba should get his acknowledgement & apology after being made out as a liar/crazy/a hysterical sook and hopefully that is going to come. I have nothing else to add so that's it from me..
Why does Andrew Sharp have trouble understanding how a 21st century college football offensive line comprising players of three ethnicities can develop friendships and win a national championship?

No. You called me a racist and, rather than apologise, got hoisted on your own petard. Run along

One Dose of This Psychedelic Drug Can Ease Anxiety
Two new trials show the powerful effects of the psychedelic drug psilocybin—or magic mushrooms—on cancer-related anxiety and depression
Harry cant lose,this will get settled out of court.
The only thing that could save Maguire and Buckley is that they have evidence that O'Brien approved of the name calling,its not a nick name
it is labelling in effect

As true then as now.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” ― Booker T. Washington 1856-1915

The problem with apologies these days is that you can't trust them. Are they truly felt or induced? A forced apology is like a little part of you dying. If you apologise enough under duress you end up not being you.
