Maybe there was more than 1 interview but basically what he said was
- the boos don’t bother him because he’s used to being booed from the Leniu incident (he wasn’t linking the 2 incidents - just the fact he experienced being booed).
- it won’t impact his performance, it just makes him want to prove people wrong
- he’s served his punishment, if people don’t agree with it, take it up with the NRL or police
Then he answered some baiting questions about race, which they then use in articles as if he just brought it up directly in relation to the booing for crashing his car.
Ezra is a bit cringe at times so maybe I’m giving him too much credit, but it looks like a kid who was trying to say “it doesn’t get to me. I’ve had crowds hammer me before. I’ve served my time” and the interviewer has swindled him into a few sound bites they can piece together to make boomers triggered.
He’s an idiot for falling for it, but he’s also having a bit of a Homer Simpson “sweet sweet can” moment
