Sherman banned for vilification

[G-Mo77]

Very dissapointing

Yeah it is but am I alone in thinking 4 weeks is just a tad OTT. Someone who is found to take drugs gets a 3 strike policy and is hidden away so know one will find out but yet if you call someone a name it warrants a harsher penalty that deliberately knocking someone out on the field or shooting up cocaine.

I'm against racially vilifying someone but thinks it's far to much of a penalty.

Agree.

This penalty is a bloody disgrace.

Pretty poor behaviour from Sherman, it's not as if he's a kid. A player who's played over 100 games should know better.

Yup, or even giving someone an elbow behind play & you only get 2 weeks!

I'm glad I'm not alone. He'll be vilified for the rest of his career now. IMO that is penalty enough.

Racially vilifying somebody — especially a first gamer — is far worse in my opinion than smoking some pot or giving somebody an elbow behind play.

And here's my mum telling me all those years ' sticks and stones ...'

The world's gone mad.

Racial vilification is worse than sticks and stones, it has other connotations.

I can't accept that calling someone names is worse than elbowing someone in the head

Are you Anglo?

Sockeye. I completely and utterly disagree with you.
That old chestnut, (and I'll quote it in full in case anyone doesn't know it)

"sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"

Is a colossal load of bull$@#t.

Names hurt, they hurt alot, workplace bullying and cyber bullying has caused suicides. Fact.

Racism is about the vilest face of human behaviour and needs to be stamped out completely.

I hope justin Sherman is ashamed and sorry and 4 weeks is OK with me.

How do you know it was the first gamer?

RE the donation can he claim it at tax time?
