Rumour Jeremy Finlayson under investigation - 3 game suspension

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Do we know if Finlayson directed what he said at a gay person?

As for what AC said. I've never heard CS said as a hateful slur to a gay person. To me (and I'm sure to the vast majority of people) it's the same as saying c%&#, prick, bastard, mf, etc, etc (c%#& being at the pointy end). Also, one of AC's players had just been absolutey flattened in a late, dirty bump (brain fade from Webster). AC's punishment was probably fair enough. Let's not go to silly places.

Can someone please explain where the AFL get off making him go and do a Pride course?

A Pride course? Is there such a thing?

That's not what it's about though is it?

Chief….this stupidity could go on for days - any plans on pulling up the drawbridge?

Apparently. He has to do some course. It’s just laughable.

So you’re against education, learning, …expanding your mind?

Not at all, educate the kids. Grown men know what’s right and wrong. He made an error as we all have done. He doesn’t need to be embarrassed by being sent to a pride course.

As far as the punishment goes absolutely it is.

Grown men know whats right and wrong ,eh?

Like Martin Bryant, Julian Knight, Harvey Weinstien, Wayne Carey, Bomber Thompson?

That might ‘know’…but do they care?

Education develops the ability to ‘self-judge’…to not sleep at night.

It's not about him using the slur against someone who might be gay.

That's not the source of his embarrassment though is it?

Wouldn't you be more embarrassed being seen to abuse someone like that in public? Basically in the workplace? A little lecture on why what you did is wrong isn't the worst of it at all.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

So he didn't say it to a gay person? He got 3 weeks just for saying it... to a straight guy?
And I get what you're saying- Whether he said it to a gay person or a straight person you believe the punishment should be the same?

You really think deep down he is worried about this?

Wouldn't you be?

I heard Dill say that there's no place for what Finlayson said anywhere in society. Not sure about that. Wouldn't a gay bar be appropriate for the word he used?

If it was proven Fin said it to someone Fin knew was Gay, it would be much much higher.

Just got wilder - Bagger72 needed in here to bring some sanity back to the discussion.

 

[Calypso]

Of the 1020 bag snatches committed in Australia last year, 20 were committed by those who signed off as LGBTQ+ on police reports.

This constitutes roughly 2% of the total.

Therefore, bag-snatching LGBTQ+ ‘s are a militarised, institutionalised force that we must look to control.

Can’t have bag-snatchers taking over society…

Bagsnatcher sounds like a homophobic slur

 

[Chief]

How many weeks for Noah Answerth for gesturing to Petty he’s a sook? Should be worthy of a suspension given the stance so many on here think the game should be sanitised.

Please do show us these posts.

 

[Engimal v3]

Only in the s**t because he said it near the umpire. School yard slur with zero connotation.

Jeremy isn't in school. Jeremy is 28 years old lol

In regards to sanitising the game, your club has enough to worry about with a coach before the Human Rights Commission

I believe Answerth was mimicking Nicky Winmar sooking about a few harmless jokes back in the day. The WOKE-FL would probably have us doing the bloody Welcome to Country before every ball up if it were up to them!

The comment about Winmar is just really poor taste and to be honest is pretty awful.
