Strange choice of headline given Robbo's comments. I guess just because the Roosters are adamant doesn't mean it's true.
 
Had a quick read on the (Headless) Chookpen site and they are all complaining that 8 weeks is too severe and that it’s not racism if a person of colour insults another of colour.

I always thought that NSW clubs and their fans are neanderthals and this only proves it. Maybe they should “harden up” and wear it on the chin like they love to shove in other people’s faces. 😂😂
 
Some sort of work with Aboriginal people should be put in place as well I think, to educate him on their culture

They seem to be trying to paint a picture of poor Spencer copping 8 weeks but oh so gangster because he won’t snitch on a broncos player. I seriously don’t understand what some of these fans expected Ezra to do, punch out Spencer on the field?
 
Thank you good sir. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

There was no mention in the reporting of the hearing of anything to do with his comments post match or the incident in the hotel being taken into account, so I think the decision was pretty much on the money. Without the plea of guilty and the fake remorse he was looking at 10-12 weeks.

The next player racially vilifying someone will probably be looking at a longer holiday again.

Have they never heard of the holocaust? German nazis (white) European Jews (white) 🤔

African Americans and Latino’s have some of the most fierce race related violence.

Hutu vs Tutsi

But yeah racism is only white vs black/brown 🙄
 
A truly remorseful person would seek this out themselves.
Further, a truly remorseful person would have apologised immediately and not after the video evidence was public. Not one journo has pointed out the convenience of when he plead guilty and still think he should have got leniency for that.

Spencer wants people to believe he didn’t know it was racist but that is bullshit, everyone that has lived in Australia in the time that he has knows it is. You couldn’t avoid the Adam Goodes stuff even if you wanted to not to mention Roy. In any case even if you take his word and he only became aware of the racist connotation at 6:30am the next morning via a mystery text from an indigenous person, why so many days later. If you are this great guy that he apparently is and full of remorse the minute you get that text you are releasing that statement or trying everything you can to get in touch with Ezra to sincerely apologise, lawyers be damned.

It is such bullshit and an insult to our intelligence that he has tried to peddle this crap.

This is what the left is pushing. Look at what's happening in the Sam Kerr case. A woman of Indian ancestry calls someone a stupid white whatever, and they tells us this cannot be racist, because it lacks the unequal power dynamic required etc.

Racism studies expert, Associate Professor Mario Peucker of Victoria University said, "Racism is more than just bad behaviour or unequal treatment. There's a deeper meaning to racism that people often don't get."

For racism to occur, from an academic point of view, two elements were required: prejudiced and discriminatory behaviour, but also an unequal power or institutional power dynamic, he said.

"The law was not made to protect those who are in a position of power, and you can't think of anyone who has more power than a white police officer."

Human rights law expert, Professor Lucas Lixinski of the University of NSW, agrees and points out that the aim of anti-racism legislation is not to provide avenues for legal action for "white fragility".

Holy fucking shit, I just looked this up to see if it was really what he said. Why the **** didn't any of his teammates or club officials tell him?

Beyond the fact that this defence of not knowing it was a racist remark is a clear and obvious lie, no one has touched on the angle that if it is true - and the journos sure seem to want to believe it - it's a serious condemnation of his family and community. I'm not terribly familiar with Mt Druitt, but I'd suggest it's not a modern utopia where people of all races, religions, sexualities and creeds are unquestionably welcomed and loved. If Spence didn't know the term was racist, I'd have to think that racism was normalised in his family and social circles.
 
Redhill MUST impose a ban on Brent Read from here on. Bloke has lost the respect & is only fit to write/spew anti-Bronx. Gone are the days where he tries to write facts. He’s all into sucking NSWRL.

Worked at the Coles in Mt Druitt as a kid (lived 20min away). Mt Druitt, along with a lot of Western Sydney is one of the most culturally/ethnically diverse places in the country (most people there are born overseas). But it's also (or was) pretty low on the socioeconomic index.

Casual racism (like in a lot of Western Sydney) is just part of the place. While we knew that certain words/insults/slurs were racist, we still used it as part of our general vocabulary. No one took it too seriously, because there was no real malice behind it (most of the time). It's weird, because thinking back, it was always laughed about when "coloured" kids would say racist things to each other, but if a white kid said it, it was taken differently (like the intention was perceived as being different).
 
As always you missed the point,,, you don’t have to be tough to let words not affect you. It’s easy… they’re just words
Meanwhile, NRL legend Johnathan Thurston said the punishment wasn't enough.

"I don't think the eight weeks is sufficient for what has been said and the mental scars that have been brought up with what our culture has endured since colonisation.
