Ease up Mr "Holier than thou". Not everyone has the intestinal fortitude to confront a racist.

Too true, at Christie yesterday where I was 'working' there was a large Bossy supporter, with many large Bossy supporters, behind Bossy club officials, calling the referees and most Spirit players (esp. Agyei) a monkey!  I felt like giving him a serve but thought better of it. :ashamed:

While i agree that the game itself got a bit heated (mainly due to the butchers who think they are playing a game of rugby, not football i might add) and some of the comments were not really nice, you really should tell the whole story. You are quick to point out bossy supporters, but no mention of any of the spirit supporters and their comments. I don't condone comments from either side, but if you are going to tell a story then tell the whole story.
Finally, within their own circles calling someone a monkey is not really an insult at all, let alone a racial remark. It just so happend that at the time the player in question was black. I noticed how you also missed out to mention that in the second half they called another player a monkey and he was white.

Interesting ... thanks for the comments ...I'll just add two facts.
1. I was sitting among the Bossy supporters, not the Spirit ones.
2. I'm a bit deaf so am sure that I didn't hear everything (and didn't say that I did).

That's cool mate, didn't mean to accuse you of anything and I will also admit that some of our supporters are just brainless morons and most of our supporters will say the same thing about a few individuals. I was simply saying that your initial post was only half the story. The whole situation was caused by Spirit players who were clearly tried to injure couple of our players, which in the end they did at the third attempt and they did good job on on of them as he is still out injured. They are a good side, but by far the dirtiest team we played against in the last 2 years.

Well done on the win against Mt. Druitt by the way. Hopefully you can now build on that for the remainder of the season.

How can directing the word "monkey" at a black player NOT be racist?

I am genuinely interested to hear how

Its sort of similar how here you hear people call someone a wanker and you say that without thinking twice about it. In Bosnia you call someone a monkey without thinking about it as well and take my word for it, there are no black people in Bosnia.
At that particular instance it turned out to be a black guy. I agree that it was not appropriate at that particular moment, but i also know that there was no racist motivation behind it. As i said, in the second half a few individuals called another player a monkey and he was as white as a white person can be. I myself actually told off one of those guys and told him to watch his mouth and think a bit before saying something as stupid as that and it was only then that he realised that it was not appropriate at that particular instance.
As i said earlier, I'm not excusing it by any means, but that is just how it is.
