Should JLo have accepted Fevola's apology, straight away?.

I understand Mr & Mrs Longmuir are loathed to enter the local pub, due to their son being called a "biter". This action could leave scaring on the family name for years to come.

I think Rick Hart should have come down hard on Fevola and asked for mediation and for Fevola to undertake couselling ( oh you say he already is ...). The club should have gone in hard and got lots of media coverage.

I can understand that for most Australians this looks like a trivial issue. But based on my experiences and friendships with aboriginal people I'd suggest this is one of those rare issues where we ought to just leave it well alone..

Fair point.

I was just being the devils advocate, but then it is a sensitive issue.
