48 Year Now

and you da person who called me a boomer as a slur. if i dont get any more insults i will see you all next year. big if tbough you can join as you have a sense of humour. i already have one with a few friends

please define immediately

Try being a straight, law abiding white anglo msn who has worked hard all his life, raised children, done voluntary work for the most vunerable in tbe community . how dare you. You want a separate community , go for it.

good luck with your projects.

I said there has never beena defence called gay panic law? True or false?

Im done. See you next year if im still allowed to have an opinion here. For the sake of accuracy there was never a gay panic defence, you are refering to the Law of Provocation.

Im done. See you next year if im still allowed to have an opinion here. Derogatory comment and one i take offence to. Talk about true colours.

Give me a break. I saw a lit of bullying at high school and never once because a person was gay. I never seen a person victimised in the workplace judt because they were gay.

Somewhat dramatic and totally exaggerated. No one needed to hear what was said. Any idea ehat its like being a straight hardworking family man when any slur can be used against us, every second ad has us looking stupid, young people saying we deprived them of a future , should give up our houses and savings. Stop playing victim and show some compassion for Rankine

Un named player who doesnt identify as gay. No victim, pretty simple

I am not saying the language used is acceptable. Where will it all end , we dont know but we know there wasnt a victim and we are yet to know the effect on the perpetrator.

Yes we do need workshops. Wait and see the AFL introduce more next year. You are living im a parallel universe. Do people know its wrong to assault, home invade, rape, stab , murder , drive stolen cars and kill people. Yes, yes to all those.

And that works. No. And you miss the point of what i said.

Its assumed by most the AFL has educated players on this isdue and specifically that using the word or similiar will result in 4-5 weeks suspension. Lets see if there is a journo brave enough to investigate if thats true. We will know the truth when and if the AFL introduces new gay education workshops. Hope the same applies to education around weak b....... and other slurs.

Turner, Langford.

Sorry to hear your story but surely that is a personal situation that has nothing to do with Rankine calling a non gay person a gay slur. Last week i heard a player tell another he was going to f........ kill him. Where will this all end. How do you think family members of murder victims woukd feel hearing that.

Very fair assessment. Obviously room to change if offers come our way

Yes, we cant go with JVR again

Thanks Joeboy.

Was that the one where Maynard took a boxing type stance on the mark and put him off.

Give you an example. Sidebottom was front and square when he could to high balls going to Petty and JVR. He knew they would likely spill the mark. He took the ball away easily on two occasions i saw. Teach Chandler and co to do this effectively.

Sorry you feel that way. Lots of people vop abuse here for all sorts of reasons. I thought it a perfect opportunity to show some love and tolerance and lean on tbe AFL. Two weeks and a serious commitment to working with young gsy people having a hard time. Take on a role of further educating. Some say these guys have been educated, yes, but have you never said a word in anger you regretted. Not sure gays are comitting suicide because of footballer comments. Suicide is a lot more complex than that.

Lots of things a new coach should be able to improve quickly.

Yes, he really looked good. Want to see a player leading when he gets the ball.

And so ends the soccer ball error. The training with soccer balls when our kicking is so poor highlights the lack of leaders in the playing group and administration. No one had the guts or authority to tell Goodwin to put the ..... things in the bin.
