Also Collard didn't know whether the people he was insulting were straight or not.

I mean that shouldnt matter anyway.Also Collard didn't know whether the people he was insulting were straight or not.
Cards on the table: when you call someone a f***** you arent questioning their sexuality - you are demeaning them by saying "you are equal to this group of people whom I consider to be lesser human beings than me".
When you use terminology to equate someone to being less-than because of something they cant change about themselves, its a form of hate speech.
How "revisionist" do you wanna be? Cause originally it was about a bundle of sticks.To you that’s what it means. that’s a revisionist interpretation. Forever it’s been about orientation. Lesser human explanation you mentioned is modern upper suburb high class take or explanation. The guy on construction site does not sit there and think in manner you explain.

Also its newer meaning always been used in a derogatory sense. Here's an except from https://www.gofreddie.com/magazine/the-f-slur-where-it-comes-from-how-some-are-reclaiming-it:
"In 1914, an author named Louis E. Jackson published a 102-page book called "A Vocabulary of Criminal Slang, With Some Examples of Common Usages." The book's purpose was to serve as a bit of a dictionary for common words used by less than savoury individuals in American culture.
Under the entry for "Drag," this sentence was included: "All the ******s (sissies) will be dressed in drag at the ball tonight."
The word "******” itself does not have its own entry, but was used in a sample sentence to demonstrate how "drag" is used in everyday culture. This is one of the earliest instances of the word "******” being used in America."
TLDR: Dont call people the f-slur. Its offensive and demeaning. At one stage in society calling black people "n******" was perfectly acceptable and used as a descriptor. We dont use that term anymore for similar reasons.
These discussions are always a good opportunity to make a list of undesirable posters.
Just talking about the weeks thing - I think we need an established "bringing the game into disrepute" charge for players, and should just bring such cases as this under the umbrella. I dunno how many weeks that should be worth though.We aren’t in America. Let’s stick to my point here.
Nowhere did I say that people should do use it. I think 6 weeks for young indigenous kid is too much as it was all about ideology.
Why then 6 weeks? How many weeks to you would be too much, or there is no number? If he got 10, would you argue it’s still not enough?

To be fair, I dont think there have been any surprise contributions here. Pretty much every poster that has commented in the past couple of pages has been bang on brand.These discussions are always a good opportunity to make a list of undesirable posters.

I think it is harsh but if you are still doing it after the past couple of examples you are a slow learner.My issue is the penalty - not whether it’s ok what he did.
The AFL have kept increasing the penalty because players don't seem to be learning.My issue is the penalty - not whether it’s ok what he did.
The biggest issue at the moment is we're up to our eyeballs in free to play situations and suspensions that make little to no sense when compared to others of the same issue, or even non-related ones.
Harley's tackle - no concussion - 2 weeks.
Cameron's tackle - concussion - 3 weeks
Dangerfields tackle - no concussion - pay rise and top bloke headlines
Clarko - homophobic slurs - suspended sentence and fine
Powell - " - 5 weeks
Collard - " - 6 weeks
Meanwhile striking seems to be a all good.
The AFL is making it all up as they go along and it's confusing us fans. Classic bush league stuff from them as usual.
Let’s not mention Trump in here again.
These discussions are always a good opportunity to make a list of undesirable posters.
Read this again and tell me you aren't embarrassed.You are there to play football, not become an academic.
Who?Let’s not mention Trump in here again.
Read this again and tell me you aren't embarrassed.
I mean, Im embarrassed for you.
AFL: Dont say p**f
AFL Player: I dont have a uni degree so cant grasp this simple instruction.
They’re also invariably the posters that always accuse our indigenous players as being “lazy”. It’s subtle but a very thin veneer to their prejudices.
It doesn't need to be re-posted- it is there for anyone to read (not that it is worth reading).A bit of selective quotation. Why don’t you post the whole thing. Then let’s see who is embarrassed
