People that never say or do anything for fear of offending, people who are outraged by crude or 'offensive' jokes... It's people with this warped sense of political correctness that are ruining this country.
He's a young bloke playing rugby league, against other young blokes playing rugby league - calling someone a fag wouldn't have even registered with any other player on the pitch, or even James Child's I'd guess. It's a term commonly used to describe someone who's being soft - yes it has it's origins from a term for gay people, but so fricking what... He wasn't using it to offend someone for being gay, he was using it in a totally different context... In my eye, it's no different to calling someone a fat, skinny, ugly, ginger (or whatever other descriptive word) c*nt... Why do people only get on the high horse about references to race or sexuality? Do fat, thin, ugly, ginger, stupid people not deserve the same level of protection???!
Seriously, people need to get a grip - it's a game of rugby league, where tempers fray and players use derogatory terms towards each other (and yes sometimes the officials) in the heat of the battle... Bring it on I say, adds spice and needle to the game, which is great to watch... If you're offended, go watch songs of praise or bargain hunt! Fags!'"
Wow! |

He called him bent twice, both after decisions he didn't like. The second was just before a scrum in the 2nd half, I think a knock on had been ruled.
If the red heard it, surprised he took no action. I think Ablett was seen swearing at the ref as well as Hardaker. If I said that on an amateur pitch I'd be off.
That said, it's just name calling, if the ref can handle it I suggest people man up and deal with it. |

i hate seeing RL players shouting and swearing at the ref but in the heat of the moment with tension and adrenaline running high then you can understand why.... however if a player directly swears or uses any sort of foul language to an official then he should be punished, i don't want to see RL players acting like footballers, and yes that includes danny brough!'"
Exactly this! How many times have they shown this shaved baboon kicking the fixtures and fittings and quite clearly swearing. Worryingly he's the coach. |

When Cas fans were guilty of homophobic abuse there was a 40k fine (20 suspended) and the offenders were banned for a year or 2.
There's prior punishment out there for this type of behaviour.

I don't know who he is saying it to but it is said with real hatred by the way his face is contorted.

Some people used to say the same about Racism, which thankfully is nowhere near the levels that it was in the 70's or 80's.
At some point a line does have to be drawn, whether this is the time or place to do so is a different matter. |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

But, that abuse was directed at a gay person. Is James Child gay? |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I am amazed by the amount of people who think homophobic abuse on a rugby field. Especially 'HIM'... Who seems to think homophobic abuse is not an issue. Would this change it it was racism or is that ok as well?

We should clamp down on this now so it doesn't carry on. The great Jamie Peacock was also seen directing abuse towards the ref (this was certainly at the ref).
Any kind of discrimination should be punished, I can't believe the amount of people on this thread particularly on the first few pages are deeming this acceptable.
It is no shock to me that many of these people are Leeds fan, including 'HIM. |

I thought I wasn't worthy of your time anymore? 
Anymore players careers you want ended?
It's no shock to me that you can't actually understand an argument or point of view despite it being clearly written for you.

Does it matter if he is gay? This kind of abuse should not be tolerated. |

Still hoping for Mcguire's career to be ended?
No one can defend what hardaker said, but you can pipe down.
