[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1041245, member: 82670"] I dunno about this to be honest. Yeah, he said some stupid **** as a young man but he’s since apologised and he doesn’t hold those views anymore which is the most important thing. An apology and maybe get him in some awareness programme or something is fine. No need to go so full on in my opinion. Similar to the Argentinian rugby players. Just need to make sure they don’t hold these views anymore and get them raising awareness or whatever and apologise obviously. Teenagers say stupid crap all the time to seem big or funny or whatever. Sometimes they say it because they’re stupid, sometimes they say it because they really believe it and sometimes they say it when they don’t really believe it but want to impress mates or whatever. At least there’s a public recognition of wrongdoing on the accused party in this scenario. What concerns me more is the people who are smarter and know not to spout their views on social media but still hold racist or homophobic opinions. That is where the fight has to be taken, not to people who acted immaturely as teenagers and have since realised the errors of their ways. [/QUOTE]
