Well you can't defend the indefensivable behaviour/comments.
It's really disappointing. And nobody will be more disappointed in him, than himself.
The agreed punishment between the parties reflects how serious an issue it is.
Can't believe this has happened.
He is an idiot and deserves to be punished but 4 weeks is excessive would have been better off clocking him.
I'm dreading the Sherman trade more and more every week.
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.
Get off your high horses those calling for the rest of the year etc. Admit you've never made a mistake. It was wrong by him.
Harsh penalty prob decided by the AFL's PR dept.
Still, stupid thing for Sherm to do so hopefully he learns.
Our recruits from up nth aren't making our PR team's job any easier!
