Where is Harry O with his tweet? Surely not far away.

You can't say that after a player has made such a massive example of what is unacceptable from a 13 year old girl... but reporting a 50 year old man... everyone needs to harden up Princesses.
Unless of course you were claiming Adam Goodes should harden up because he's a Princess - then your argument is consistent.

I suggest OP remove the pic of the 'abuser'. This is bigfooty it's not a courtroom, we don't have the right to put people on trial, next we'll be posting up pics of supporters who farted and offended people that way.

Surely no different to media outlets posting videos of 13y/o girls and drunken middle aged men at games.
Important post.
Let's all wait to see Harry O's take on the situation before we jump to any conclusions.

That's pathetic from the security company, if true. If multiple people complained about this guy, they should have taken him to the cops. Too bad, because Cats fans are normally good.

The cops were worse than the security to be honest. The security at least spoke to the guy. Cops did not want to say/do anything until the player abused made a direct complaint

I was walking the streets of Geelong last summer and had a drive by racist abuse hurled at me.

Is it even possible to be verbally abused by someone you are not even in earshot of? No wonder the cops weren't interested to be honest. If they were to investigate every such incident at sporting events we would need 50,000 more police.
You have made nearly 40 posts since your original allegation and stating that you would 'give full details of the 'incident' in good time'. How about actually saying what occurred?

They may have changed their tune if multiple people complained. If you give the seat details to the Cats they should do something, assuming he's a member.

Do you even understand the significant impact racial vilification can have on people? Are you really that ignorant?
There were people deeply upset by what was said by this supporter, even if the comments were not directed at them. Racism cuts deeper than just the individual targeted.

There were multiple people from our group who complained and at least one cats supporter who complained. There was enough to make a case against him

I'm in the process of finding out with the club whether or not the player heard what was said. I don't want to bring it to his attention that it was a personal attack on him if he didn't hear it.
Why can't we just focus on the point that racism is disgusting no matter how minor the attacks may seem and no matter who is being targeted?
*supporter takes children to game*
*children hear another supporter yelling racial abuse at a player*
*children ask why he isn't getting in trouble*
*SCHUMACHER answers "because the player can't hear it, so it's alllll good!"*
Pretty disrespectful of the Cats to place the opposition cheersquad behind the points.SUNS said:
As for the walk to the rooms, that's a pretty standard night out in Geelong.

You may have just redeemed yourself
Yeah sure but you are the one who has made a public allegation about an individual and posted their photo on the internet. If you are not prepared to say what occurred, so people can judge it for themselves, you should not have posted it.
has this made it in the media yet?
dobbing someone in to security becauee they make a comment. how sad are some people!

I will tell you what occured. The man in the picture loudly racially vilified one of the Gold Coast SUNS players. The comments made from him were deep enough to upset people within earshot of him who come from a similar heritage.
Are you happy now? When you hear of rapes and murders on the news do you whinge and sook to the reporters for not telling you how many times the suspect thrust inside her before they slit her throat and bathed in her blood?
The details don't really matter!

I sort of agree with this. With the hundreds of idiots yelling out all manner of things it's just not worth the time and effort for police and security. What is offensive to some is not to others. Goodes probably gets 'sister-raping shit-eater' screamed at him all day, what is acceptable and what isn't? If it's all unacceptable we're going to have to create a whole new police division to inforce it, the Morality Police.
