Sherman banned for vilification

He is an idiot and deserves to be punished but 4 weeks is excessive would have been better off clocking him.

The bulldogs suggested the 4 weeks and fine and GC accepted it.

I strongly disagree with any suggestion that this is an over reaction. Racism is a blight. I am so disappointed that our club is involved. The penalty is more than justified. Congrats if it is correct that we suggested and initiated the penalty instead of hiding behind weasel words and protecting someone has done wrong.

Look around our heartland where every race lives side by side. I am proud when I see young Sudanese kids walking around with our jumpers & scarves. We should be, and have been, role models for anti racism with our community focus and programs. This is a sad day for our club and I hope it doesn't undo the respect we have earned as a socially progressive organization.

Why would it.

An individual within our organisation has done the wrong thing. Our club has shown how much it abhors this by punishing the player and stating that it is totally unacceptable.

I hope that when Justin goes to the remote communities as part of the Red Dust Role Model Program he gets a real feel for how big the journey is for our talented indigenous players , it would be good to have Zeph go with him as well
