Is that what Clarko got?

Clarko got a $20k fine - to set an example. Young Jeremy didn't learn from it, and now needs to learn the hard way. Homophobic people like him aren't welcome in 2024.
 
Sticks and stones no longer applies in 2024 obviously but surely words said on field have to be pretty to warrant an investigation. Cup of concrete needed

This isn’t sticks and stones mate. And times change, it is not acceptable to use that kind of language, especially with kids potentially hearing it. The AFL spends a lot of Time and money supporting gay people. Hardening up isn’t good enough. Findlayson needs to be better, you do too.

The rumor is he called someone a f****t and it was caught on an umpires mic.

If true You can’t be throwing that word around in this day and age. It was dumb and he will cop a good wack for it but he apologised straight away and owned up to it. So credit to him there.

I honestly don't get the big deal unless the player he said it to is gay. A bit embarrassed if we reported this. What next, mum jokes get investigated.
Yeah you’re right, players should be able to say religious, ableist and racial slurs to players who aren’t of that religion, disability, or race.

It’s embarrassing! Boys will be boys, it’s just a slur!!

^ that’s how you sound

The other stuff is different. Can't believe people put them on the same level. I suppose you can't call another footballer a women now either.

No it’s not. Your opinion is ****ing stupid. Doesn’t even warrant rebuttal.

You honestly think calling a straight guy saying to another straight guy 'you're gay' is as bad as a white guy saying to a black guy 'you black *'? That's hilarious, you've clearly been brainwashed if you think it's as bad.

Mate, you need to get into the current timeline, its not ok. As far as reporting it, i believe it was picked up on the umpires mic

Finlayson owned it and apologised. People make mistakes, he pulled himself up on it as he realised it wasn’t okay. I think the football world should acknowledge it’s not on publicly but also realise that throwing him under the bus won’t help anyone. He already knows he’s in the wrong.
 
Clarkson is a coach, and what Finlayson said was far worse.
Beating up a straight person, and calling them a f***** because you think it is an insult isn't a hate crime.

Beating up a homosexual and calling them a f***** because they're a homosexual is a hate crime.

Thats where we hit on the differences between Tex's actions and Finlayson's.

* this thread is a huge wake up for how far we still have to go if people genuinely believe there’s nothing wrong with this stuff
And some people oi the media wonder why there are no publicly out male player

That’s not the context of Tex’s comment , it wasn’t said directly to young.

That doesn’t make it acceptable, neither is homophobic slurs.

Even if the player he said to isn’t gay, it’s still creates a toxic onfield environment
