NO TROLLS Rankine handed a 4 match suspension by the AFL integrity unit for a homophobic slur against opponent

[deck]

JUH is glad this thread exists

No one cares about civilians. Big Footy is for AFL players.

 

[Grumpyshades]

Is there anything more boring than a Christian imagining they are the persecuted? I don’t think so.

as opposed to every other group claiming imaginary victim hood ?

 

[Visions]

If this happened then Rankine should retract any apology some people suggest he already made and instead deny it was ever said.

So what you are saying is if Rankine has issued an apology (meaning he has admitted to his actions), he should do an abrupt u-turn and deny any such claim?

Correct me if you think I am wrong, but I would say trying this daring tactic with the flip flopping wouldn't exactly make him come up smelling like roses on the the other side.

I reckon the AFL might repay the Crows for the goal umpiring disaster a couple of years ago with this one.


Time to call in that favour Nicksy...

That's Nicks on the left. And the AFL on the right. In case you didn't work it out.

OK supporter of Jack Graham, Ben Cousins, Daniel Chick et al.

Ah, a student of the false equivalency fallacy I see.

 

[Port 2004]

They'll twist it dont worry. He wont be missing a GF.

They won’t make it. You guys will beat them if you play them first up. Collingwood were shafted on Saturday night. Disgusting umpiring which bordered on cheating.

 

[Saucery]

Maybe the guy is just a Dire Straits fan and was having a sing-a-long

See the little ****** with the earring and the make up
Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair
That little ****** got his own jet airplane
That little ******, he's a millionaire

Dire Straits should definitely miss the finals for that.

 

[Toump Ass]

Don't know. Did he call you?

I'm not Isaac Quaynor, he has no reason to call me.

He called Isaac though, I wonder why

 

[Gough]

Dire Straits should definitely miss the finals for that.

Forty years ago homophobia was also a defacto national sport here.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Does AFL have guidelines on what you can and cant sledge btw? Like are your momma jokes okay and the like?

Feels like if the AFL focused the attention to particular areas it would help

They’ve already called in the favour with the draw they had this year and last. Plus that ridiculous crows favoured umpiring on Saturday night gets them the win and top 2. Makes up for the goal miss and missing the 8 in 2023.

Oh, I know I was there; I got regular slurs and threats because I didn't have the prescribed no3 haircut, with or without tails. Outback and online little has changed.

Do you have a credible source for this info?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Love how quickly the AFLs own rules come back to bite them.

Assuming he’s guilty, the AFL are now forced to make a decision to either have one of their star indigenous players miss an entire finals series or go completely against their own precedence for punishments of the same act.

Rankine being Aboriginal has nothing to do with this.

 

[Mr Clunk]

How's Darcy Moore dobbying on Rankine tho.

Dirty player who almost kills Christian Petracca with a friendly knee but some nasty words said and he's having big sook to the AFL, trying to get a player suspended from the premiership favourite.

Whatever it takes I guess.

Gave Jack Sinclair one hell of a corky too

The Crows' 2024 draw was rated the hardest. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1203020...er-capitalise-adelaide-crows-dealt-brutal-run

You do know our 3 out of 6 double up games this year are not only against the top 8 but sides fighting for the top 4????

All of the slurs used in any of the incidents that have lead to bans have been pretty common sense off limits.

 

[SC_Power]

It's not who the slur is directed at, but diminishing those that are gay by using such a slur.

Funny (weird, not haha) how many people still don’t get this.

 

[BigPond101]

Do gay people even really care or want Rankine suspended? Or is this another example of a small group of elites at AFL house choosing to be offended on behalf of another group to virtue signal how evolved and superior they are.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Rankine being Aboriginal has nothing to do with this.

You'd think someone from a minority group unfairly persecuted often would have more sense than to inflict slurs detrimental to another unfairly persecuted minority group.

Already have. Couldn't find anything credible yet.

 

[Osho]

AFL need to get on the front foot and publish a list of insults that players (and fans) can use to ensure this won't happen again

As long as w***er is not banned. It's no more offensive than breather.

2021 Crows vs Dee's as AO - umpire shits himself and doesn't pay an obvious deliberate free in dee's forward 50, resulting in a crows win by 1pt, breaking our undefeated run. AFL admits they missed it a couple days later.

The Sydney goal debacle was just them returning to neutral
