Rumour Jeremy Finlayson under investigation - 3 game suspension

[iameviljez]

I’ve never heard of self reporting because you called someone a NTTAWWT in some push and shove… crazy times imo.

I suspect a mic or a third party picked it up and he was informed either he falls on a sword or gets skewered

 

[Yellow Feathers]

How does outlawing homophobic slurs really affect our “great game” lmao

Toughen up princess

 

[RudyBlue]

I think Chris Rock should lead the investigation

 

[Erakor]

Would you say it’s time to set an example?

Yeah

 

[Mcarcherey]

????
Of course there is, it’s a crime with specific motive based on prejudice. A subset of crime, if you will.

All crime has a motive.... It's only relevant to prove their guilt to the actual crime, this renders the term "hate crime" meaningless.

to be suspended despite the horrific nature of his homophobic slur given the precedent set by Alastair Clarkson’s recent punishment for a similar offence.
Finlayson has apologised after admitting his abuse to an Essendon opponent in the third quarter of the Power’s victory on Friday night.

The league’s integrity team is investigating and is likely to talk to the Essendon player as well as Finlayson before coming up with a punishment.

If it was picked by an umpires microphone, surely the ump heard it. Why didn't he pay a free kick for it instead of ignoring it?

It's not meaningless, it's just referring to the cause - and if you can isolate the cause, it gives you a way to actually identify trends.

Hate crime, crime of passion, organised crime... of course it's all crime, but identifying if the crime is motivated by mindless prejudice does have a point.

LOL "what happened to our great game", sounds a bit like Maude Flanders... "WHY WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!"

 

[SuperMal]

It’s an internet forum. No invitation is required to participate. If anyone wants to have a private discussion, there is a function for that.

Yep, definitely no filter - You go ahead an butt in and interrupt then - we could use a floor show around here.

Horrific nature? So not just a homophobic slur?

What, did he set the guy on fire while he chanted @#$&() at him?

[wilsonmatic]

Completely shocking and worthy of long suspension if he used the F word. (fairy)

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Can someone pm what he said?

 

[Black Panther]

If only he called somebody a 'stupid white bastard' it would be all ok

 

[Bjo187]

I also didn't know Clarko got fined for using the word Csucker, that's nuts. If a player uses the word motherf does the local mothers group get upset and does he recieve a fine as well?

 

[twiggy4PM]

Walker got 6 weeks, why shouldn't Finlayson.

Of course Kochie wouldn't expect a Power player to be susended for anything. Port have a long tradition of bending the rules to their advantage.

And we wonder why players are to afraid to be proudly out...

Just another boomer who’s offended about other people being offended

 

[jannissary]

his "apology" was the most corporate, boring and uninterested thing i've seen.

throw the book at him

 

[Hamingja]

Do you reckon if bigfooty was available back in the day some of our grandfathers would be on here outraged that they couldn't call black people the N word anymore?

The line of acceptance moves over time.

Personally if you were on family feud and the question was to ask for a derogatory term for a homosexual, the slur that Clarko used wouldn't even make the board IMO but different times.

Bullshit. Lever the chip off your shoulder. Glenelg have a long history of sooking. Take that to court. Oh and what wing nut Walker said was far worse. The racist.

 

[Del165198]

Lots of "school of hard knocks" types in this thread who probably have Facebook profile pictures of dirtbikes or their clapped out XR8 falcon

So you know what was said by both people do you? Just more Port break the rules then try to weaasel out of the consequences.

No, it's assault. A crime is a crime. No such thing as a "hate" crime.

Surely he know by now that homophobia is wrong if you're not religious
