Calling someone a Facking bent Cvnt is a public disorder/breach of the peace offence one which can and does get you arrested on the street plus an on the spot fine.
'Bent' is in equal measure referring to someone whom is homosexual and one whom isn't playing by the rules in a balanced way.
To suggest that the word 'bent' is a throwback to the 70s is just laughable, you hear the word used all the time with reference to people whom are gay. Used the way JP did is extremely offence & should have been punished.
The language used is in direct violation of the RFLs code of conduct and is clearly seen being shouted by JP to the referee.
If anyone denies that then they are either blind or just do not want to admit the truth.
That the two faced, shysters that are the RFL has done nought about this just comes across as covering and not wanting to haul a well respected player over the coals, especially since he is the holder of an MBE an ex national capt & TV pundit etc.
It would be a major embaressment for JP personally, his family and the wider rugby community..so the RFL have brushed this under the carpet..not a murmer (which in itself is frankly disgraceful), there can be no other reason not to have him up on similar charges to Hardaker.
That the whino fans on this board are gathering themselves to defend JP is frankly even more laughable and somewhat worrying that these people think his outburst/s are somehow acceptable or just never happened! You should be thinking what will he come out with the next time a decision goes against him, because it is the general mindset of a person that comes out with stuff like that..not just once but it is there under the surface. he clearly is not able to control himself as has being shown numerous times, his over the top reaction to a nudge in the face in the CC match was thre for all to see.
His own statement and that of McDermott (with regard JPs punishment & lack thereof of the Leigh player) speaks volumes about them too, as does the snivelling non apology from Hardaker that his PR team released
.
There's no point trying to have a discussion about it here because as The Avenger has said, fans (& not just whinos) don't want to admit there is a problem here...seems the acceptance of homophobic/abusive language directed toward players and or officials is rife within RL fans forum and beyond.
It would seem clear that a fair portion just do not have the mental capacity to understand the ramifications..those I pity..the ones that do are the dangerous ones here, I'd like to hope that these types aren't passing down their twisted view on the world to any youngsters but sadly the way things are going in society that is just not going to happen.
Miss, Miss, Jamie swored Miss.
