You were so tough you didn't dare speak up about it?What a soft soft soft society we have become
I used to be called a Wog , at school every school day of the Week and there were no fines back then
Back then we were tougher men
Mam and others who speak up against racism are the ones showing actual guts. They know full well they'll be savagely attacked and ridiculed for doing so. The tough footy players who speak up do it to defend others who may be weaker or more vulnerable or even just younger than they are, they know as sport stars they are in a position to call it out so good on them. Hopefully the game's bosses have enough courage not to sweep it under the carpet.
It's not a matter of villifying Leniu, it's simply an issue that needs illuminating because there are still so many people who don't understand how damaging racism is. To everybody.
