| Quote: tb "No. And the fact that racism was common when and where you were growing up doesn't make it acceptable. hth.
More generally, tbh, this seems to be less a discussion of racism in rugby league and more a discussion of racism in Australian society.'"
It isn't even about Australia.
It is an issue about race. Equally applicable in most cultures of the world. |

The UK is as racist as Australia.
Pretend otherwise if you wish. |

The world is racist mate, it differs only in degrees. Ask any Muslim father whose daughter brings home a white boyfriend and says they are getting married.
Take out the extremists and stop pandering to the socialist do gooders.

There are no white muslims in your world? Fascinating. |

lets cut out the c&&p its only an aussie thing. cas fans got done for their chants re. gareth thomas.
how many stories have there been about chants towards black soccer players.
the issue was about racism in RL and whether it stays on the field or not

| Quote: cod'ead "I certainly hope things have changed somewhat over the years.
I remember refereeing Tony Banham (RIP) when he played amateur in Hull. A scrum broke up with the front row trading punches and I clearly heard what an opposition player called Banham. Tony quite rightly went ballistic and I put myself in between him and the idiot. I calmed him down by telling him that he'd obviously misheard and the 2@ had called him a "fat bastad" (there was no denying that one). I then had a word with the idiot and suggested that it might be in his best interests to get himself subbed but he was having none of that. Ten minutes later I heard "aaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh" from behind me, turned and saw an angelic-looking Banham, walking innocently away from a prone idiot, who was then taken to HRI to have his broken jaw wired up.
As neither I, nor anyone else saw the incident, there was nothing to report.'"
Then you sir are a flipping idiot incapable of doing the job as an official.
Its pillocks like you as to why there's problems in the amateur game.
Handled well and truly wrong. |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

As Islam is prevalent across many races and countries I think you're confusing racism with religious sectarianism.
I myself do not consider myself racist in any way. However I do think devoutly religious people (of any religion) who believe "their way" is right to the extent that the rest of the world who worship to any one of another set of doctrines are damned are a little bit dodgy, I'm afraid. Is there a word for being prejudiced against [iall[/i religions whilst still believing in a higher being? |
