I'd suggest the moderators of this forum edit the thread title, as it is in fact libellous. Were it a question rather than a statement of fact...
There is no evidence of any player in the Warrington Wolves vs Leeds Super League fixture aiming homophobic abuse at a match official. There is nothing in the match reports of the referee or match commissioner to indicate such an incident took place.
There is nothing in the video clip placed on this forum to support such an assertion.

| Quote Superted="Superted"Jeez there are some 'wholier than thou' folk on this thread - is this what rugby league folk have really turned into? 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! |

| Quote easthull fc fan="easthull fc fan"25th minute JP said it.'"
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. |

| Quote meast="meast"if we were to discipline players/coaches for using swear words then shaun wane would be banned every week
nearly every time the camera pans to him he is shouting obscenities and nothing ever gets mentioned.
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. |

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

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. |
