Quote: SmokeyTA "The RFL are investigating a charge of homophobia. Not foul and abusive language.
'"

You write in very authoritative terms though it would seem there's no substance to much of what you say. You said the law considered the word to be a homophobic slur. I'll again ask you for your authority for that because you haven't provided one.

You claimed the RFL believe that word to be a homophobic slur. Why do you think that is the case?

You're just typing things now without any thought, information or knowledge.

The RFL are not investigating a charge of Homophobia either. They're investigating allegations he made homophobic comments. Do you understand the difference?

I think I have adequately demonstrated an arguable case that the words used, in context, considering intent, environment and taking into account the differing definitions of the word that there was absolutely no homophobic slur whatsoever, even if Zak said the words it is alleged he said.

Now I suspect he will be found guilty and possibly fined simply because the RFL have to act to appease knee jerking over sensitive, faux outraged citizens such as yourself but that is not something anyone should be proud of or consider any real progress whatsoever.

Quote: SmokeyTA "As for the police, ask them.'"
I think this comment demonstrates your ignorance. Do you understand that the police don't make the law?

I get called a slaphead all the time playing rugby. I don't take offense because I am comfortable with the situation which I am genetically pre-disposed to.

Where is a line drawn between what is offensive, and not acceptable, and what is ok?

Gingers?
Fat people?

I would guess that the major differentiator would be the said groups being subject to severe persecution in the past.

As with other insults the problem is not the word, its the context. That should be what the panel look at (assuming that they can prove what word was said)

This thread is going round in circles, quite ridiculous ones at that.

Gotcha, you took it too far with this

See you in 24 hours.

As for the rest of you, wait until the RFL investigation has concluded.
