[QUOTE="Don't Skip Leg Day, post: 1166290, member: 35381"] Please re read my post as I didn’t talk anywhere about it being acceptable although some people of colour seem to think it’s ok to use the N word and others not but in my mind that word is always unacceptable. The point of my post is quite evident, trying to understand if Ugo has deliberately tried to make this issue into something it wasn’t. Key facts that he missed, Exeter did report the issue, security were there, people did intervene, the abuser was mixed race with a black girl friend there, the abuser was South African. His tweet reads like it was an Exeter fan (which it wasn’t) and no one did anything to help (which they did), so by inference all Exeter fans that stood by were racists. He words it as to ensure he’ll get a sensationalist response and I wonder if that is deliberate to fit his narrative or if it wasn’t deliberate. He owes an apology to the fans that did step in to help and the security and he possible owes one to Exeter in the way he worded the tweet to besmirch the Exeter fans. Just interesting to see what comes of this ‘rugby is racist’ narrative we hear. [/QUOTE]
