Quote: ThePrinter "Even if he has said what is claimed I've been around rugby fans of all clubs long enough to know that they really don't give a s**t about the words "puff" "queer" "fag" to be offended by them when they hear their mate say them in the pub or another fan in the stand. When you consider the obscene language you hear from fans in the ground at matches I also don't buy the "role model for kids" excuse.

Oh yeah, a lip reading that an 8 year wouldn't have even seen first time until pointed out on a Vine is worst than the constant foul language ALL teams fans shout out for 80 minutes every game. Give me a break.

Kids are more than likely to copy hundreds of fans shouting the referee is a wa**er every home game more so than a 3 second clip of a player that could be saying "puff"'"


Back in the 80's people used to think it was ok to hurl abuse and various objects at players who didn't have white skin.
Lots of people though this was ok but, it wasn't and thankfully our culture (in most cases) has moved on.

How would you prevent homophobic calls and chants or, is it really ok ???

Pathetic. You cant tell what he says but so what if he did say it. have none of you ever played rugby. Players call each other all the time.

Calling someone a f***ing puff doesn't make you homophobic.

Unless the player it was aimed is actually gay then I doubt he will have lost any sleep over it

Er yes it does. Get a grip everyone defending him, he blatantly blew him a kiss (inferring he was homosexual) and then called him an effing p**f (saying he was homosexual).

He's implying he's less of a man for being a homosexual which is the very definition of homophobic.

Hardaker's a complete moron.

Didn't Flash have a do with a girl who polled #1 Sexist in the World? I doubt he'll be too worried about the jibe.
Saints fans don't generally seem that offended by it, the thread on our forum is mostly filled with Leeds fans decrying any criticism of him.

T'is true, calling someone a puff is way down the list of offences people commit during rugby (or any sport), especially in a relatively big match like Friday's, indeed I myself will have said co things

BUT

Given Hardaker has very recently been in trouble for an offence involving homophobic abuse, you'd think he'd be a little smarter.

If Hardaker said f'ing puff he should be banned and for longer than he was.

However i dont think he said that, i dont know what he did say because lip-reading, even with experts, is more art that science.

Anybody claiming he definitely said puff is lying. Which is a very strange thing to do.

Lets stop been little bitches (Come on, most of you are been exactly that)

As a Leeds fan; did he say "puff"? He probably did, but on the evidence no one can be 100% on that.

Is it something absolutely outrageous? No it is not. As for the kiss, that is nothing to do with homophobic. It was a clever way of belittling Flanagan and by all accounts they had a laugh and joke afterwards.

Now if you want yo carry on with the RLFANS version of loose women, please carry on.

The whole point is this.
How would that look to a casual viewer as opposed to a RL fan.
Do not think they would be over impressed with, and rushing to watch again, particularly if viewing with a youngster.
Whether he meant it or not is irrelevant, what is relevant is that he has caused this debate on here by being moronic, and unprofessional!

Just because a bunch of heterosexual RL fans and players aren't offended by it and use the terminology all of the time it doesn't stop it being offensive or homophobic.

If it was a racial slur would that be ok? Or is it just homosexuals that are fair game for abuse and derision?
