@Stargazer said in Crusaders 2020:
but Hall was there as an individual person in his capacity as a Crusaders player
fixed for accuracy.
-
@mariner4life Maybe he was there as a North Harbour player.

Crusaders fan in Not Concerned by Casual Racism shocker

@Stargazer apologies, let me rephrase
Crusaders fan in The Crusaders are not represented by the People Who Make Up the Organisation If They Do Bad Stuff shocker
-
@mariner4life Players are on Sky Sport panels and programmes in an individual capacity. Of course, it looks bad for the teams he plays for, if a player says something stupid like that, but they don't have any responsibility for it. No doubt, he'll get a talking to (and rightly so), but he didn't represent them on that Sky Sport programme (Sky paid him for appearing on the programme, not his rugby franchise).

So it’s not a crusaders player being an anti semitie then ?

that sort of backing-away seems to fly in the face of the team first attitude and amazing culture that Crusaders fans just loooooove to push in everyone's faces.
So it's selective this culture?

@jegga I doubt Hall is an anti-semite. He made a remark using the word "Jew" in a similarly foolish and inappropriate way many ferners - including in this thread - use the word "gay". Are all these Ferners homophobes?
You doubt he is an anti Semite even though he’s cool with using Jew as an insult .
Interesting selective morality there

Saying the word gay isn't homophobic nor is referencing phallic Crusaders symbols.

@mariner4life You seem to miss the bit where I say that he'll probably be told off by Crusaders management because what he said reflects badly on them. That doesn't make them responsible for what he said.
-
Right then, we are going to have to come up with a non racist word to describe deep pocketed, short armed tight fisted folks. I would like to suggest the name of a country but that too would probably be ruled to be racist so will start the ball rolling with CRC McJock. Will need to apply some to to get a frozen closed wallet through lack of being opened open again and then some Raid to be applied to kill off the moths that will escape!

Saying the word Jew isn't antisemitic in itself either. It all depends on context.

no, just fostering a culture that produces players that think it's okay to say that kind of thin on national TV.
