POST GAME [Round 1, 2024] Broncos vs Roosters

I just can’t believe there is this much criticism on Mam. Sadly this will stop players calling it out I think. Really disappointing the way former players, family members and a very large number of people in the wider community are going at Mam for this. I have seen so many more comments impugning Ezra’s integrity, personality and just blatantly being foul towards him whereas I have seen very little of that towards Leniu (outside of here) more so his actions. How this has occurred is a fucking disgrace. I have a lot of love for Ezra because for every talented player out there, there is for the most part an insufferable little shit of a human behind them whether we wish to acknowledge it or not. But Ezra is the loveliest, most humble, quirky young guy that has called out something that needed calling out and is getting an absolute grilling and hard time for it. **** me I have seen rapists and DV perpetrators with less criticism. Some of the stuff I’m seeing and reading is disgusting.
 
Kent asked a pretty interesting question on 360 (I know, shocking).

If it's proven that Leniu racially slurred Ezra, should the fact that it happened in Vegas and the NRL have put so much effort and money into the promotion of the game carry extra penalty?

He was one of the players that went over to the US promoting the game and the event.
 
Before these articles started coming out I heard a rumour that the broncos players had jumped Spencer in the hotel. I don’t believe it but something has happens after the game for sure.

Also heard he’s not getting any suspension which is insane if true

Well this selective outrage over classes of insults is a slippery slope. What happens when Ezra is teased about being a crybaby, called sookybubba or something? And he sure as **** will be.

Should that also be banned? Or is everything that hasn't become a political trope given a free pass? Can you call someone a fat ****, a bald ****, an ugly **** or a Karen? Is there really a difference between calling some a dumb **** and a retard? Where do mongoloid and spastic sit these days in the spectrum of taboo insults? Is it okay to call them unco or dickfingers instead?

Lenui is obviously a gigantic dickhead. But are you allowed to call him that? What if he starts crying?

At some point you have to harden the **** up and move past this hysteria.

if you cant work out the differance between calling someone bald fat or ugly and calling a person of colour a monkey then there really is no point having the conversation with you. its just being deliberatly ignorant at this point

I’m not sure what you are trying to get at here but you can’t be racist. Calling someone a crybaby isn’t on the same level as a racial slur.

This is a really terrible take.

He's been referred straight to the judiciary. He may only receive a slap on the wrist, but he'll serve time.

An insult is an insult. If you insult someone you're not a nice person. Absorb that thought.

No, I'm trying to get you to understand insulting someone is a **** act, regardless of whether you've jumped on a bandwagon that's decided certain classes of insults are taboo.

Kind of agree with Mchunt, if someone called me a black **** its not that offensive to be frank... I haven't lived a life of poverty because of my colour, had the same opportunities as everyone else if not more...

I mean, do you think Ezra is upset because he kind of feels as though he has to be??

As far as i'm concerned. Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me!

Still be happy to see the roosters cockface receive a 10 match ban.
 
I think you are the one that should be doing some self-reflection.
No, if you think drawing attention to someone's race is the worst insult you're the racist. I've been on the receiving end of plenty of racial insults and to be honest, they're weak as piss compared to ones that are more personal. I don't even register them.
