NO TROLLS Taylor Walker racial slur

[FR0GGY]

That's catchy. Well played.

He’s not the original, it’s been around for years!
Where you been Moogle?

Damn! You’re right. I thought I was into something good.

 

[cleanhands]

I prefer to call him ‘Karen Cornes’

I prefer not to acknowledge him at all

Damn! You’re right. I thought I was into something good.

You were! Just late haha, unless you came up with it back then!

You know damn well I've been here wasting my life and watching you monopolise the trade over one liners.

We won’t ever know

Tex is perfectly free to chat away to the media and let everyone know exactly what he said but I don't think he will

I think he'll tell us right after we hear the full details about Tippettgate, the camp, Fagan's five year plan and why Nigel Smart left the club.

I'm disgusted by Tex, I'm also disgusted by these ****ing media rats wanking themselves into a frenzy for him to "front the media".

To me it appears that some of them are not going to be satisfied until Tex comes under some sort of physical harm either by himself or others at this point.

Tex has said enough at this point, I don't want or need to hear from him for some time. He's caused damage, he needs to atone for his sins and meaningless press conferences do nothing .

Agreed, I don’t see what benefit could come from him fronting the media. He’s hurt people, and I doubt those people really want to see or hear from him.

If he is ever going to play again that would be the time for him to talk, allow him to explain what he’s done to make amends, how he’s grown, what steps he’s going to take etc.

At this point we know he’s admitted to ****ing up and that’s all we need to know, let people heal and then see where it goes.

 

[Deaneus!]

Very impressed with Robbie Young appearing in the video. It takes character to accept another person's apology in public in matters like this

i can’t think of any incentive he had to do it, other than being a good bloke

Optus are in discussions about their sponsorship with Adelaide over the Crows’ handling of the Taylor Walker racism storm.

The telco giant, who signed a four-year deal in early 2019 to become a principal partner of the club, on Tuesday issued a brief statement to The Age when asked about Walker’s racial slur of North Adelaide player Robbie Young - for which the former captain was suspended for six matches and fined $20,000. Optus stopped short of endorsing the manner in which the incident had been treated.

The AFC will expect him to build trust and respect. But the only person who is responsible for achieving it is Tex.
I don't know Tex but my impression is that he won't shy away from his responsibilities. I think we'll see what he's made of. But it's up to him.
P.s. the apology video including the victim is a good first step.

He would someone who would do more than he needs. Dominate more money and spend more time in indigenous communities. It’s a pity of COVID as it would good if he went into an indigenous communities as part of his penalty.

I didn't see anyone standing there with a gun trained on them?

So their issue is not with the racism, but how the club handled it?

So are they upset that the football dept ratted him out?

****ing journalists trying to start something, what is to be gained by going to club sponsors?

Looking for new headlines… Behind closed doors everyone is supporting Tex in there own way despite being hurt by his comments. The media are driving a narrative that no one likes him and trying to drive him out of the AFL.

Wrong. Most people think he’s a long time kwon and deserves everything he’s copping now.

That’s what the media reporting. If you listen to radio coverage you’ll find out more then reading print media garbage. Tex has reputation for being generous with his time and will go out of his way to help disadvantaged people.

He had owned his **** up and is committed to regain his trust back. He will be given the opportunity to regain the trust back otherwise he will be let go.

Agree some parts of the SA media have been a disgrace and have hung Tex out to dry. As a captain of a football club its hard to fathom what he did but through time and changing his behaviour for the better this can be a healer.

Given his contribution to the Crows he deserves the opportunity to set things right and the paparazzi should get off his back. I think it would be a mistake for both parties to part ways.

The rascist remark was directed at Young but the offended party was the official. Whether Young heard it or not is irrelevant. Apparently the official was indigenous who heard the comment and was offended. It wouldn't have mattered to the official whether it was directed at them or not. The person Walker should chiefly be apologising to is the official who unfortunately through no fault of their own had to hear that rubbish. He should also be apologising to Young who it was directed at but the official is the one who suffered the most harm by hearing it. There has not been a lot of focus on this party I guess due to the party wanting to remain anonymous. I don't know where a grown man gets off shouting rascist remarks in front of the public and kids. Kids should never hold up sporting idols as heroes. The real heroes generally aren't on the sporting field.

Real heroes exist everywhere. Sport just happens to be an environment where victory often accompanies heroism. Through the high profile of sport, the participants are easily recognised and we often show adulation for the sportsperson who is victorious or has displayed remarkable effort without victory. On the field, Tex is one of these heroes.
I agree there are other heroes, many of whom are silently and steadfastly bring comfort and joy and meaning to the lives of millions. Certainly, sports heroes have some heroic value, but they should never forget their place...a professional entertainer.

Are Optus just refusing to commit in case more information comes to light or do they know something we don’t know?

I don't care. They walk for what reason? The minute they walk the Crows will get a new sponsor. They are paying for an ad on the jumper. They shouldn't get a say. If they want to tell the club how to act on an issue then I'd expect the club to say here is your cheque see you later. Port told Scott to butt out in the early years too. He thought he'd bought a say. That's the problem with some sponsors. They think they can purchase a voice.
