I suppose this disparity has been with us for a long time really. Just compare the thug who commits murder & gets away with it because he fell out of his pram as a baby with someone who can be punished to the point of bankruptcy for a libellous comment that may hurt even the most minor, publicity hungry celebrity.

HERE is an example of a council of not only being woke, but emanating racial tension, and also wasting money when it's not necessary. Amone & McGuire would've made up afterwards, and should be educated on words that they chose to say to each other. So it seems to upset others who hear it, and they get offended by it. I apologize If anyone who has misinterpreted my initial post. I don't condone any kind of abuse of racial prejudice, and/or any sort of discrimination.

So what was the real reason?

In May i'm having a stopover at the seaside where there are 3 piers.

BTW - I hope both players get a slap on the wrist, and they have learned their lesson. I doubt it like.

I mean, if you're not happy about players getting injured or suspended the only way to ensure that happens is if we pack up and don't play at all.

Jesus you've started early, season hasn't even kicked off yet

I’ve no really issue about this…
I welcome it.

Not because I have an opinion on what was said, I couldn’t really careless.
My reason is far more long term and selfishly Wire.

To win a SL you need 2 packs…we have that, and no other club in SL does. We’ve lost 3 forwards and it’ll make not a jot of difference when we beat Leeds.

I hope this ruling is applied throughout the season, because players are thick and few clubs will have the back up to ride out 6-8 games a player short.

The odds of us finishing as league leaders at the end have increased imo, knowing this dumb ruling is in position.

Unfortunately, we live in a very very woke country/world, and if this upsets the said woke brigade because of this, (between 2 players who will make up after anyway), we are fooked.

Tripe. Utter tripe. It’s not about being woke, public perception and brand confidence.. These players are walking talking billboards, when the my say and do stupid stuff they damage the brand. We can all complain about not getting enough advertising revenue and media attention, but we need to shake the stigma of the sport.

People in the public sphere should be held to a higher regard, they are meant to be role models to inspire others. On the back of a really successful and diverse World Cup programme, people saying stupid stuff is going in the opposite direction.

You don’t need to be offended by it, you don’t need to take exception, but if a sponsor withdraws because of it, or a teammate objects to the language used, it can impact massively. The sport benefits from its tolerance, see Keegan Hirst, but that is sanitised when idiots say idiotic things, see Zak Hardaker’s comments to Child.

If you’re not offended by the language used, great. Stop reading, move on. But someone may be. It’s not being woke to want to accept every new or potential support of the sport.
