Jail them for 30 years and they’ll think before they murder someone.

Since when has punishment ever stopped the crime?
Well if you have a better plan to stamp out homophobia we're all ears.

I suspect you're not actually interested in stamping it out, however

If it was up to me, there’d be no vile taunts on the field. Punishing only a couple of them is crazy
Why do you think calling someone gay is taunting them? It's not even insulting so perhaps you can look at these penalties as idiot taxes instead if it makes you feel better about them.

It's bizarre that you can't separate the etymology of the word, with the usage of the word. These people aren't calling the opposition players gay, except maybe Rankine was (opposition player had painted nails). The rest are using it as a generic insult, with zero thought as to what it means.

The next person should use this defence - ‘I just used the word I didn’t know what the words I was saying meant’.
 
Im gonna be honest, for kids the "f" word has had nothing to do with homosexuality for about the past 20 years. Its meaning has completely changed
That's a worse defence that Collard maintaining he supposedly said "maggot".

What "da kids" think it means is entirely irrelevant.

So that makes it ok does it? That's the defence you can go to when someone says it to an actually gay/bi-sexual player who takes it at its meaning?

Players know it's not allowed (as it should be). This "that's not what it means these days/I didn't mean it that way" bullshit is exactly that... Bullshit.

Well then, they need educating. When the social message hasn't worked, a big nice game ban will have to suffice.

Not really, 2 weeks or 10 weeks, it's not going to change much. A 30 year jail term doesn't stop people from murdering others.
So based on your logic we should do no punishments, whether its punishing homophobic language or murder. Good to know..

What for?
The Izak Rankine saga.

RCAB :

Izak deserves to be delisted.
Izak deserves 8 weeks minimum.
Izak needs to be taught a lesson.
Izak is the worst human being imaginable to humankind.

The Adelaide Football Club are disgusting.
The Adelaide Football Club are cowards trying to negotiate a lighter ban.
The Adelaide Football Club should be embarrassed.


Koby Evans… nothing but crickets and tumbleweeds.
 
Izak Rankine 254 pages of discussion. This one...crickets...
Look I'm sure all Crows fans can come along and defend the guy who used the homophobic slur and drag this out into a much longer thread. You can probably even get some St Kilda fans to help you.

Brisbane player, uses slur. Realises he's done wrong, self reports and apologises. Accepts punishment and moves on.

Compared to player that uses slur, doesn't own up to it. Has to be reported by others. Club throws a tanty about him copping a punishment like all other players. Has his big woe is me singing performance with the club and its media ambassadors putting out bullshit like him being the Grand Final entertainment. Needs to have a mental health break trip to Italy. Fans then show why the club was did so much celebrating the return of a racist player from suspension as they choose to boo the black player who they believe is was the target of Rankine's slur.
