On the Port Adelaide fan racism incident from yesterday

I have heard it was a Port Adelaide players friends there as guests of the club to support their 2nd year West Australian friend.

There has been a theory/rumour put forward that these "Port" supporters were guests/friends of a young Port player and is part of the reason why him not being recruited by a Perth based club was always in his best interests.

So do the math as there was only one player from WA who went to port 2 years ago.

The bloke who one punched the kid in Claremont I think it was then hit a few other people in the same night and avoided jail is very good mates with SPP. Lots of photos together on his FB.
 
Thought one week was a bit harsh IMO

But hey the chook lotto that is the tribunal continues.

Not really the rules are very specific if you go the bump and head contact occurs you are pinged , was it malicious? No it wasn’t,
It was more a timing issue, but he made the choice to bump a player who was bent over and as such in that situation, there was always a chance of headhigh contact.

It wasn’t a dirty bit of play, nevertheless it contravened the laws of the game.

Do I like the way it’s ajudicated NO but that’s the way the game is played now.
All players have been adequately warned , that the onus is on them to not make head high contact when they go the bump.

Freo winning helps our position relative to Port Adelaide come the end of the year. We're more likely to be competing with Port for a similar ladder spot than Freo.

You sure about that? We r competing for a top 4 spot?

Except if your Trent Cotchin. Which is why Port will challenge IMO
 
There were rumours that it would be better for SPP and his football if he moved away from Perth. Could be an example of it..

Pretty weird that his mates would be racists though, seeing as SPP has an indigenous background

You would be very surprised. Racism is not just for those with primarily white skin. Ply them with a few drinks and ask the Maori's what they think of Aboriginals or do the same with aboriginals and ask them what they think of Africans, or people of Asian descent.

Racist is a term from white people, given to white people as an excuse, to pardon and later to condemn them for their actions. Those treated with less regard have only speaken out and used it to reclaim rights taken for them long after.

Go back through history, go through every single century and look at what has happened to conquered peoples. Deep down people are greedy and that greed will manifest itself in anyway that people can to get them what they want. Whether it be a catch cry for one thing or to condemn someone else.
 
Whether it be the Term Racist or Feminist or Terrorist or Fascist or Communist all that changes is the date. One person's saviour is another's demon.

Religion, War, Race, Money. Deep down they are all just methods of control.

Or do people seriously believe that we all play by the same rules?

Looking at the video close ups, it seems pretty clear to me that Gray lined him up. It seemed to me the port players were instructed to hit us hard as revenge for the EF last year.

Racism thrives in Countries like India and China.
