Scandal Racist fan throws banana at Eddie Betts

[kingswood71]

She will suffer from it ..she will have her membership revoked and be banned from the ground ..and if she's a passionate fan that will hurt ..if you are promoting naming and shaming then you are promoting bullying ..know how that ends sometimes mate ?

I know what you are saying, but consider this: Racial vilification in Australia is actually a criminal offence. Are you arguing that anyone who commits a crime should not be named, lest it appears that we are bullying them?
Say she is not only banned from the AFL she is also criminally charged, would you then demand that the judge makes a suppression order so she is not named??
Cody Yarran was named last year after an assault at a Fremantle game, did you object to that??...or are you just saying that there are levels of criminal offences that deserve to be named and some that dont?

 

[Verdun]

Yeah I'm racist, the Greek boy who copped a decade of racial abuse at a almost 100% Anglo Saxon school.

Go on. Tar me.

Who was tarring you - you goose, you have been called out for saying something stupid ....continually yakking about lynching.

Again do not be precious if you can not talk about the topic you are not debating but avoiding - YOU have made this about you.

I'm off have better things to do that debate a topic with someone who can not discuss the topic and make it about something else - them. Like reading a Andrew Bolt column

 

[LoungeLizard]

That ol chestnut ....state one thing amongst a lot of other topics and ignore the rest. You keep talking about lynching no one else - quote one person on this forum who has beside you (besides quoting you!)

Mate i couldn't give a rats.
You have condemned the woman already, you don't know the facts, all you know is what is said in here.
In your eyes she is racist, and maybe she is, and it damn looks like she is, but it's not a fact yet.

I think you are a little confused here....

Well not throw bananas at players for one.

Yes. Display some level of self-restraint.

Port have been in the vanguard with regards to indigenous player relationships. They have a good opportunity to carry that on here.

What is the maximum amount of time a player is allowed to celebrate a cracking goal in his 250th game so as not to be offensive to opposition supporters?

Enough time for a jumping back flip followed by falling on the ground doing the splits, standing back up and then doing this:

 

[greatwhiteshark]

It can't be defended this, racist and also throwing something at a player is out of order.
Life ban? Probably a bit harsh when you consider rapists and murderers don't get life.
5 year ban at the AO and life ban on being able to purchase an AFL membership of any type.
Not the PA football clubs fault just an idiot in the crowd.

Just out of curiosity when someone is given a ground ban how on earth is it enforced?

If it looks like dogshit, smells like dogshit, tastes like dogshit . . . in your world it might be Belgian Chocolate?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I only saw the 1st couple of pages. Are the other 16 debating whether this act was racist?

Are people that naive, or do they just want to find excuses for racism?

They are injected with a microchip tracking device.

Have you ever heard of people put to death, and years later they are found to be innocent?
This thread has already condemned her, no trial, it been sorted in here.

 

[STFU Donnie]

Imagine if Wingard did this?

We all know what will happen.

On the evidence of 2016, you'd need a pretty vivid imagination.

Lethal injection, if people in here get their way.

You need a trial before condemning every action?

You do condemn racism, don't you?

 

[benneth]

Still acting all naive mate?

She'll regret not peeling that banana

 

[kingswood71]

The AFL use a secret retinal scanning data base of every patron who has ever attended an AFL match
Good question however...Likely would be quite difficult to really enforce.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

They are injected with a microchip tracking device.

What happens if they refuse that to be injected? Surely there is no law saying she has to agree to that?

 

[twotooto]

She pulled a banana out of her what..

I just hope she removed the batteries first.

 

[Looney]

So that girl positioned herself in the right pocket armed with a banana knowing Eddie will kick the winning goal and be close enough for her to throw a banana at him?

 

[LoungeLizard]

You do condemn racism, don't you?

I do.
And if you read what i have said, she will get whats coming.
I don't know all the facts, so i can't make the decision that so many in here have already made, sorry if you don't like that.

The fact is, security of the players is a fear. The players are like it or not can never be certain of 100% safety. It takes just one moron in the crowd to cause damage. As a result I am of the belief this lady should be named and shamed as a lesson to everyone and banned for life from Adelaide Oval both AFL and Cricket, plus all SANFL games at suburban grounds. The message has to be sent that racism is not tolerated and throwing stuff at the players is just beyond inexcusable.

 

[Looney]

That was a joke. There is no way to enforce the ban. She can always go in disguise.

 

[hawkgal02]

Absolutely disgusting, whether or not you look at the racial connotations to throw an object at a player is a disgraceful act.

And as someone who occasionally enjoys a banana at the footy, i swear to god if this bitch get's bananas banned i will be really annoyed and probably just change to mandarins or something

They kidnap her kids

The racists at the soccer still do it.

Are you denying that's racism aswell?
