Play Nice Post sanction: Taylor Walker publically apologises for his racial slur

[iameviljez]

Look, it is a good apology, and it seems to have been taken as genuine given that Young was willing to appear in the apology video.

But I really hope that people take notice of what a lot of other Aboriginal people are saying about this - that it's not an isolated one-off issue, it's something they see, hear, and feel on a regular basis.

The allegation centres on a SANFL game between Adelaide and North Adelaide on July 17 at Prospect Oval.

Allegedly in the quarter time huddle, while speaking to a Crows player referred to North Adelaide player Robbie Young, an Aboriginal man, using some kind of slur

 

[Fino]

Least surprising news of all time

I know there's a decent Indigenous population in Broken Hill compared to the rest of the state but in my experience that can go one of two ways when it comes to racism. You either become very tolerant because you've grown up around different people, or racism becomes normalised because you've grown up around different people.

 

[TheGreatBambino]

Good way to undo all his good work this season.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Crows back in the news with a scandal. We are beating Covid!

 

[Hawks91b]

Classic blokey bullshit. I'm from WA and they use the argument only joking and slip of the tongue. He was captain when Eddie was there so should know much much better. Needs a decent whack from the AFL if its true - even if its only to set the example.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Needs at least one hour of empathy training I would suggest.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

He belted a cop years back when he was travelling either Thailand or Bali with a few mates of mine, said a few racist things then too I’ve been told. By all accounts, he was not a good bloke back then.

I do think he’s matured and was a great captain for Crom, but dickhead tendencies always have a knack for reappearing.

 

[Beerfish]

I'm disappointed nobody has posted the cling wrap face pic yet.

 

[TedDougChris]

Really disappointing news if true, you would think that the repeated calls from all clubs over racism incidents over the past few years would have sunk in to all players.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Anyone who calls him Tex instead of Taylor needs 3 to 4 weeks on the sideline IMO. Funniest faux hardman in football.

 

[Fabab]

Why is this only surfacing now? Afl trying to keep it quiet?

Probably the mighty Crows PR department doing their good work again......

 

[Maddogmetro]

Nobody keen to know:

1. What was said;
2. The result of the investigation;
3. Tex's response,

before passing judgement?

Cool cool cool

I'm sure Rowey will reveal all on 5aark shortly - his son plays for Crows don't you know!

Quarter time?

Robbie Young belted an unsuspecting Matt Crouch a close friend of Tex's in the guts and ran off like a true hero after committing the dog act....that was in the 2nd quarter.

All I had to go off was the initial report, which stated quarter time. It's since been updated to 'at a break'

Yeah if have the details let us know but dont come in here preaching this crap and judgement before the fact. You and your mates are just as bad as anyone else.

And that is justification for taking to where Taylor is to alleged to have taken it?
Couldn't have used any other form of insult?

 

[RAPPA]

Mullet Tex certainly had the "they took our jobs" look about him:

Always struck me as someone where if it wasn’t for football would probably be a victim to ice

1. Definitely. Impossible to pass judgement without knowing what was said.
2 & 3. Not at all.
