Samson Lee appears to think soQuote:

Jesus Christ. One guy being made to apologise for saying "gypsy boy" and another being made to apologise for having the cheek to describe it as banter.
Much ado about nothing. **** sensitive people right up their stupid arses, there are terrible things going on in the world and this is what they get worked up about. **** 'em.
Oh well, he's not offended but other people are on his behalf, crazy world :hehe:Quote:

I think you need to offer an official apology for describing your comments as a joke.Quote:

If Itoje accepts the apology then why not?Quote:

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 ****.
Exactly, come tomorrow I'm going to be racist as fuk to every1, but apologise straight after so all is sound.Quote:

You keep leaving out the pertinent part though Pearcey, there was an apology that got accepted. Do "the kids" not see that part of the exchange in your universe?Quote:
