Yes. He should honestly sue them to expose their idiocy and hypocrisy. I bet the dimwits responsible for this decision wouldn’t be able to even locate Ghana on a map, let alone recall anything about how it - the place where his family is from - was affected by slavery.The most extraordinary part of this is Conor Idon being fined for doing a act from a popular movie that I would guess may on this board have watched many times. Tarantino treatment of a sensitive subjective is ironic, funny, moving at times but filled with gauge, over the top violence and mayhem. Its irreverent. For me I love his dialogue but sometimes the violence is too slapstick.
Now the AFL, in this case I will guess the majority of people involved in handing down sanctions are white middles class people. Obviously Dillon is. Its stunningly wrong to me that they feel they can judge a black man, who took the time to discuss this with the other black men before going ahead, for dressing up as a black character to do a scene from Django.
This is a serious overstep by the AFL and too me extremely ignorant. They have no right to make this judgement.
Would they fine an aboriginal player $5k for performing a skit about the frontier wars? Because it’s completely analogous.
