I'm glad you think so...
I'm not one for all the faux moral high ground - the mock outrage is absolute nonesense - it's a young bloke playing rugby saying something in the heat of the moment.
What's the difference between using fag, to calling someone fat, ugly, ginger, , convict (for Aussies) etc etc, it's all the same, yet we often see and hear many of these without the outrage...
On the rugby pitch, all that stuff is tame - there's a difference if it's aimed at a gay person and is being used to vilify them for being gay, but used on the sense of someone being soft, the outrage is way over the top.
There are much more important issues to be outraged/offended over in life, than a rugby player giving a bit of stick to someone in the heat of a game.
For some reason, some people like to try and make out that their these politically correct saints, I guarantee that everyone of them has used a term or laughed at a joke that could be deemed offensive by someone on our planet - it's just that it's 'cool' to bang the anti-racist/homophobic drum at any given opportunity!
