[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 717413, member: 38640"] On the racial slurs comment: If any member calls another member that on this forum - they get banned. It's that simple. This is a privately owned forum and as such we get to set a benchmark for how our members should behave. On occasions that it isn't enforced it makes the staff look bad. Why should Super Rugby - a much larger financial entity - take a lighter stance on the people they employ? My job is PR - if I publicize something which undermines the values of my employers - I lose my job. I don't know why professional rugby players should be exempt from penalties for their behavior? They are perfectly aware they are brand ambassadors and public figures, and that a rugby match is televised around the world. Potgieter may have no ill feelings towards homosexuals. He may have used the phrase purely out of frustration and have a detached sense of meaning. He's still culpable for his actions and I'm surprised to see so many defend him.. [/QUOTE]
