Fair point, and should be dealt with harshly and swiftly.. but are we going to continue suspending players for slurs? Name calling?

You're assuming it as a 'slur' and not 'vilification'.

Clarkson getting away with it and Finlayson getting suspended makes you think........is there degrees when it comes to racist/homophobic comments?
Whether you direct it at someone who is gay vs someone who isnt?
Whether you use the word Clarkson used versus the word gay?
Their probably isnt...... is there?

That’s the question that rings in my head!
Is it offensive if the victim isn’t?
Has the player said he was?

Whether the player is gay or isn’t gay would be irrelevant to a punishment hey??? Would be like calling someone by their skin colour on a footy field to describe them, whether that is factually their skin colour is completely irrelevant. If you are using the words to insult, or in a manner that is negative or disparaging than the factual element is irrelevant.
No???
Well they have now, they sort of didn't with Clarko but they have rectified this now.locky801 wrote:Lines been drawn in the sand by the AFL and rightly so, its all quite simple
Keep you mouths shut, cause if you use racist comments or homophobic comments ya getting a fine and a holiday

I’d be amazed if there is a single person on this site who has never said the words uttered by Clarkson or Finlayson.
Agree however I would be surprised if anyone here has said it in the last 15 years.
Lets not forget footballers live in a different world, absolutely no excuse, but they are miles from a "normal" upbringing.
I would suggest he will get off lighter than Tex as he put his hand up straight away.
