South Sydney's Latrell Mitchell in hot water

[facepalmer]

Bloke is an idiot.
Majority of his tackles are questionable and should result in a penalty if it was anyone not called Latrell Mitchell.
Protected species!


I am amazed somebody downvoted this. Mitchell is a bullying thug and i am so pleased he didnt bring his rubbish to our club

I would never have though thug was considered racist. In my opinion that is over the top. In stating that maybe grub is a better word.

Whatever the case on the field the guy is scum.

 

[Telltails]

He'll get it downgraded they wouldn't take the risk if they weren't sure.

Oh come on.

What risk
Don't fight it and get 3 weeks no DM votes
Fight it and win, get one week
He also continues to accumulate DM votes
If he loses 4 weeks no DM votes

Worth the risk for him

If the NRL cave in or allow LM to escape with a one week suspension then it just goes to show how much of a joke this competition is and all the people who run it should be ashamed

$1700 for kicking someone ......

Garner should have taken a dive. LM would have been sent.

If it had brought blood ...yes

Latrell will get a downgrade and miss no time. Judiciary will say its only the Tigers.

No no sorry, derogatory use of "grub" is anti-larval.

The thing is it doesn't matter if Latrell gets 3 weeks or 4 weeks or 1 week, it doesn't help Tigers - we don't play Souths again until Round 16. There is no compensation for Tigers.

The word thug is a race baiting term. If you don't mean anything racial by it just don't use it. Simple. You can google as much information on the subject as you want te educate yourself. The connotation is what it is and if you don't want to come across racially insensitive just don't use the term. There is no need to come out swinging when someone merely attempts to clue you in that the term has racial connotation.

I would have thought on a forum where people get banned for mild swears that this sentiment would get more support. Particularly given we support a club that is branding itself as inclusive to indigenous people.

On his wage that’s equivalent to a pie and a bottle of coke.

Hmm and it turns out that thuggies were the religion loosely portrayed in Indian Jones and the temple of doom. Although it seems there more akin to a cult or group. Never the less, that was an interesting Wikipedia dive

With all due respect that is nonsense.Thug is not and never has been a form of racial vilification even if you want to believe it is.A thug is not confined to any particular race but it is confined to a style of behaviour.
