Racism? I hope these acts of racism were reported to the Police because there are laws already in place against racism. Certain occurrences can be labelled 'Hate Crimes' if they are committed against a person because of the colour of their skin and dealt with accordingly.


And yet it still happens, as Offiah and several other players have said.

I can't tell if you are being intentionally naive or not, but do you firmly believe every instance of racism is reported to the police and acted upon?

Theres a massive difference between racism and a hate crime. Telling a rugby player "you're alright for a black lad" isn't a hate crime or an arrestable offence, but it is racist. You're massively over simplifying the problem.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I've been told many a time 'You're alright for a pie-eater'.

Is that an offensive derogatory term coined historically that could cause offence to someone with sensitivities towards their ancestors hardships?

I’m astounded you’re comparing the two to be honest. That in itself is pretty disgusting.

You can't be serious. You have to be looking for a response here. And I'm done with it

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

Ahhhh I understand now. You have minimised the reasons for the movement (note movement, not political party) to such a degree that you can't see it for what it is and therefore can't understand why people might want to support it.

Fair enough.

Its such a complex issue that people will take the wrong end of the stick, take offence, can't delve into reasons properly without someone else jumping onto the post and throwing their two pence in. This is why we should be debating rugby rather than identity politics and politics and sport shouldn't mix.
