Strange choice of headline given Robbo's comments. I guess just because the Roosters are adamant doesn't mean it's true.
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?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.
A truly remorseful person would seek this out themselves.Some sort of work with Aboriginal people should be put in place as well I think, to educate him on their culture

Thank you good sir. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.@lynx000
Have they never heard of the holocaust? German nazis (white) European Jews (white)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 think he should have got 12 with an exception got round 9 where he must play.I'm convinced they should've given Leniu a 7 week suspension...
Would've loved to see him take the first hit-up at Suncorp and get belted.
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.A truly remorseful person would seek this out themselves.
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.Have they never heard of the holocaust?

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

With Paris as half time entertainment.I think he should have got 12 with an exception got round 9 where he must play.
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.
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.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.
Meanwhile, NRL legend Johnathan Thurston said the punishment wasn't enough.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
