Quote: NickyKiss "It’s what I was told he said but I don’t know it for a fact. If it is that, he has no defence IMO. I don’t buy this ‘it’s a tough sport/a man’s game/an aggressive game’ line as a defence. It is all of those and verbals are absolutely allowed and I like to see players going at it but there are plenty of words they can use that aren’t hugely offensive to people or damaging to the game and the inclusivity it tries to achieve.'"
I’m not saying it’s fine because it’s a hard sport I’m saying it happens in the heat of the moment, nasty things are said that the person saying them won’t really mean. If someone called it me on a rugby pitch it would just mean I’d try to tackle them harder, I wouldn’t want them banned. However if it was used towards a PDRL player by an able bodied player then a whopping great big ban would be suffice.
