Are you not using women as an insult?
Putting them down as inferior?
If I didn't have my reaction privileges stripped of me over the weekend you'd be getting the biggest laughing emoji right now

If it’s so obvious it shouldn’t be too hard to explain then I guess?

You made the comment. Explain how they're the same.

No I asked a question.
You're being deliberately obtuse that's what you're doing.

No im legit, is using a sexist remark going to be treated differently to a homophobic remark?
And if so why?
If you can’t answer it I’m not sure why you responded?

So everyone's conveniently overlooking Finlayson's contextual explanation then?
Or have we just been the judge jury and executioner and the explanation is just waved off as Port PR and maybe I'm a closet homophobe Port fan?
Reckon there's a fair bit of 'happy to only focus on the reasons to be outraged because he plays for another team' going on here

I think people are overlooking Finlayson's convenient contextual explanation.
I'm not that fussed by the whole thing, he has other stuff going on, I'm not interested in laying the boots in.
Saying that, if you believe his explanation I have a bridge to sell you.

Which explanation the initial comment or yesterdays one?
I haven’t heard any.
“When re-thinking my comments today, it’s clear that I should have provided more context.
On reflection, I should have explained that I was bitterly disappointed that I said what I did during the game."
And I am bitterly disappointed that I put myself and the club in the position I did.
That is what I am most upset with."
He's not pissed off with the AFL's 3 game suspension.
He's most upset because he put himself and the club in the position they're in.
Reckon his context has completely missed the issue.

The explanation I've seen, is that he was saying he was pissed off at himself for saying the comment, not anything else.
It's more plausible in my opinion that he's pissed off at being made an example of, when Clarko did the same thing.
The quoted 'context' above shows he was pissed off at himself for saying what he did, and maybe he's struggling to express himself, but this reads like he's simply ignored the homophobic issue. He's more pissed off for what it's doing to him and the club.

It's bit of a shit thing to say for that reason. Unnecessary and odd value judgement.
However, the word "girl" is not a slur used against a minority.
So he is angry at himself and it has "tipped me over the edge" ... makes no sense.

Yeah I should have an example of a slur on a female.

While there are many to choose from, I can't off the top of my head think of one that would make sense in the middle of a football game.

3 is fine, but it should be the norm now if the AFL want to go down the route of insensitive name calling suspensions.
None of this 6 for Tex, 0 for Clarko, 3 for Finlayson business

It's vilification, not name calling (not that name calling should be considered acceptable behaviour)
Yep, and to the port flogs that said what Tex said was different, it's all vilification, be it sex, race, orientation, no difference. Pretty sure in all the HR stuff done at work it was all the same penalty.
