[QUOTE="Peat, post: 789684, member: 42330"] The point of punishing Marler isn't that Lee might or might not have been offended. The point is to try and dissuade all of those from watching from thinking abusing people by use of racial epithets is ok and thinking that it's ok in rugby. Fair enough anyone who doesn't agree with that aim, but Lee's views are relatively unimportant to the matter. Meanwhile, I'd just like to say that I'm utterly thrilled to find this event still dominating rugby news four days after the match. Apparently the outcome will be announced tomorrow - I'm not quite sure what was so complex about uttering the term gypsy boy on live TV, but something must have been. Also, Marler gets off for giving Evans one in the face, so apparently that's not a red card offence either these days - which is funny, as I've seen plenty of reds given for it. The proud record of consistency in rugby's disciplinary halls still stands, glory be. [/QUOTE]
