So if a Welsh player called Itoje a nigg** boy it's OK as long as he apologises?
Samson Lee was offended. It's why he reacted to Marler on the pitch.
The term gypsy is offensive to lee as for one he is not a gypsy, if you looking the meaning up I wouldn't exactly call him a gypsy. He comes from a family of travellers, whether you can class the comment as racist who knows, but it's a derogatory mark against Lee and marker deserves to be punished, also coz he's a dirty English ****.
So you think that doesn't send out the wrong signals? In a high profile match which a lot of kids will be watching you think it's OK for a player to call another player nigg**er boy. You surprise me.
The double standards shown by so many really is quite incredible.
Hmmm I wonder why he apologised perhaps he was told that his comment had been heard on the microphone and was told to apologise. Apologising after doing something wrong doesn't mean you should then avoid being punished.
The 6 Nations committee are now having to explain their decision to the world body. I suspect Marler will still be banned.
Fair play Croesy, you must search every news website to find the most controversial topic you can to raise some kerfuffle on here.
In an ideal world nobody would call each other names, but we will never have an ideal world so we should be taught they they're just words and to shrug that kind of nonsense off rather than getting terribly offended by them.
I knew someone would compare the "gypsy boy" comment to "******" somewhere along the line, but we all know the two aren't really comparable. How offended do we get at being called taffys? It would be daft to get worked up about it.
You've said this twice, as if he actually called Lee a ******.
He didn't. He called him a gypsy.
We Cardiff fans sing regularly about the gypos down west. We sing "do the Ayatollah, gypos" whenever we play Leeds, Bristol or Swansea.
There would be absolute uproar if we sang "do the Ayatollah, ******s" at opposition fans.
The two words really aren't anywhere near the same.
