I'd guessed what it was and you've just confirmed it.
On a slightly related note, I saw the other week they've finally changed the name of that stand, the one someone used to have as an avatar, after losing a race case. The club concerned, I forget who it was, claimed it was the players nickname due to the brand of shoe polish he used  |

Was one of them called Dean Lance? |

You can't honestly believe they don't know what they're saying or what affect it has on the person they're saying it to? Even If this is the case they are still being racist as ignorance is no defence.
Maybe the entire Australian population need educating |

Surely Robinson should have included it in his report if both Diskin said something and Sinfield confirmed it. Or do players actually have to ask for something to be put in a refs report? I personally think that Robinson's failure to include it in his match report says a lot about him and perhaps he too needs to go on a racism awareness course.

the world has gone potty here is all thje news .pics.videos. nrl drama The National Rugby League (NRL) has stepped into the controversy over Manly full-back Brett Stewart, banning him from playing for four weeks after he was charged with sexual assault late yesterday.
The Sea Eagles named Stewart to face the Bulldogs in their opening round clash on Saturday night.
But after a heated meeting with Manly officials this morning an angry NRL board announced that Stewart was being suspended until round five and the club was being fined $100,000.

Guilty until proved innocent?
Whilst OK for Australians, I can't see it catching on in a civilised country.

I would not condone the use of racist language but if this is the case, then I can understand why someone with a less than articulate mindset would be provoked into making such statements. |
