The amount of cringe when Taylor tells Robbie he will need to lean on him.
No words
I know 😬
Hmm, sanctimony makes me cringe even more.
Right!!! It was so cringe!
I can't even watch it. What did Tex actually say?
Cringy video yes. Love that everyone is taking this very serious. As a proud Aboriginal man, let’s keep this in perspective. Please let Tex play again! He will learn from it, we all make mistakes!!!
Stand up for ya self Tex tell the public why ya said what ya said there’s more to this story as many people know
Mark Ricciuto's comments about casual racism were disgraceful. He should be sacked from the Adelaide Crows Board for what he said. As for Taylor is penalty is beyond soft 6 matches with full pay give me a break. They banned a woman for two years who made a racist comment at an AFL Game. Taylor has already had enough Racism Education you cannot change his Racist thoughts with more education the Crows need to sack him and move on.
This is perfectly summed up - banning a woman for 2 years for a racist comment then banning him for 6 weeks despite the litany of education he's received..... it doesn't stack up. Imagine if they banned him for 22 weeks the type of impact that would have and the statement that would make. Missed opportunity for mine
He’s also Tex’s manager isn’t he?
@@davidanderson210 One thing that doesn't make sense to me is that aborigines will often claim to be proud of their black skin and of being Aboriginal, so why do they even see being called a black so and so as offensive. They certainly don't see it as offensive when they're calling each other black so and so's. I'm a redheaded bloke who has copped truck loads of names in my time like fire engine head, toffee apple head, dancing coke can head, ranga, red headed fowl f___er, Fanta pants, rooster pubes, ginger meggs, carrot Top. The list goes on and on. You don't hear me screaming blue murder about it. Aborigines are too precious, toughen up people..
Rishooto is a goose
All these people work with Eddie McGwire whos still got a job and look what he said about Adam Goods you hypocrites
absolutely
“Ah, you miserable creatures. You who think that you are so great! You who thinks that humanity is so small ! You who wish to reform everything! Why don’t you reform yourselves? That task should be sufficient enough “
Frederick Bastiat
He's only cut because he was caught.
Eddie McGuire giving his views on racism is like Ivan Milat giving us lessons on backpacking
He who is without sin should cast the first stone. He is clearly contrite, has apologised, is serving a penalty. Move on or be angry forever.
Ive never said a racial slur against someone. Can I cast a stone? Or the fact that I once stole a candy bar when I was 8 not allow me to have an opinion on racism
@@DW-rs1pr point is everybody makes mistakes. If we hang everyone who makes a mistake out to dry there will be no one left. Also, if you can't forgive then you sentence yourself to a lifetime of pain. Not condoning what he said nor should it be forgotten but he should be allowed to play again if he wants to.
@@hardenbergia I definitely feel for the guy. But the whole lesson learnt thing is not an escape after the fact. Sometimes we mess up so badly we just need to say there's no excuse, im terribly ashamed and walk away.
@@hardenbergia hes being made as an example and its harsh but no one seems to get it.
It’s not for you to tell others - especially victims - how to feel or when they should get over it. People that think that are usually the most outraged when something is done to them.
I'm surprised he could read the cue cards at all.
mate sounds like he’s reading from a teleprompter
Pretty shameful stuff. What the hell is "casual racism"? And why should a person be given leniency for this sort of thing just cos he doesn't seem racist in your own personal dealings with them? Matthew Nicks has set the tone here and everyone else needs to tow the line. No ifs or buts.
great comment.
Casual racism refers to throwaway comments or words people use that carry racist undertones. Things like "I'm not racist, but..." and going on to make a generalisation about people from a particular culture or race, or "Where are you really from?" which can make people feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in their own country.
I think what Tex did was completely unacceptable and should most definitely never play footy again. He's gotta do the work to truly understand the hurt he caused. BUT I also think it wasn't malicious. I don't think he's bright enough to do that. I think he grew up in a country town that is apparently quite well known for not being the most open minded place, and once he became an adult he never took the time to interrogate his own thinking and behaviour. It's an Australia wide thing. We've all gotta put the work in and be there for our Indigenous family and our multicultural family. Its whether or not people wanna do it that will define if we move forward or not.
@@coralcomet Can't disagree with anything you say here. I know full well what was meant by "casual racism". My point was that there is no such thing and that racism just takes different forms. Some people in society feel they can excuse it if it falls into this "casual racism" category as we are hearing from some of his supporters like Ricciuto.
The Hypocrisy from the AFL, Adelaide Crows, and AFLPA is beyond belief. All 3 have called for Life Bans for AFL Fans who make Racist comments at AFL Matches. Then one of their own makes a Racist Comment and they give him a slap on the wrist of a suspension when his clubs season is all but over as they cannot make the finals and continue to pay him in full during the suspension. The Hypocrisy of the Year Award goes to the AFL, Adelaide Crows and AFLPA.
Here here.
Spot on
Pathetic from Taylor Walker, Kane is right he needs to front the media and answer the tough questions. Taylor is still being paid in full this is a joke. If any Adelaide Oval Employee made a Racist remark they would be sacked on the spot. Why should Taylor's punishment be so much softer than the Adelaide Oval Employee?
Crap. He doesn't have to answer to anyone but the bloke he insulted. Why give the media their money shot moment. They want him to cry and they want to frame him as an evil racist. They want to protract this moment for as long as possible to milk every last drop of blood from the dead horse known as racism in footy. Lord. One bloke and one appropriate comment followed by weeks of grandstanding virtue signaling BS on SEN and 360. Thank God Robbo is out of action at the moment. He would be salivating.
@@markmooroolbark252 Don't forget it was Taylor Walker back in his Woke SJW days when he said a 2 year ban for a racist woman was to light and that she should be banned for life. Walker is another Andrew O'Keefe it is so funny to watch SJW'S go down.
definitely agree he needs to front the media but your comparison to Adelaide Oval employee is off. A stadium employee isn't an ex-captain nor will they help the crows kick goals/win games
@@lachlancampbell5679 The Club needs to apply the same rules to everyone when it comes to Racism. You cannot excuse Racism for people who you deem to be more important than others. The Club is saying they have a Zero Tolerence when it comes to Racism so this needs to extend to everyone regardless of their importance or rank. A Club Captain being Racist has more of an impact than a fan so its more important to make an example of them.

@@robindunn6991 I can see you have tried to elevate your diction to sound impressive, but all you've done is create a nickel and dime false dichotomy. Or to put in your words: One shall not engage in a discourse with an ostensibly autonomous rational agent who dabbles in such fallacious reasoning.
You sound racist. How dare you refer to an indigenous man as a black prop. Are you asserting that Robbie Young simply bowed to the wishes of Walker's management and has no actual autonomy to decide what he wants to do in this situation?
Here`s an idea don`t make any racist comments in the first place!
Yeah tell that to all the yobbo's at footy grounds around Australia every weekend... Racism will always exist whether we like it or not.
Fans get 2-year bans from all AFL Venues while AFL Players get 6 match bans with full pay. That apology was not even Taylor's idea it was set up by the spin doctors at the Adelaide Football Club. The Adelaide Football Club need to take a stand against Racism and Sack Taylor Walker without pay.
calm down cringe lord
HUGE difference between attending a footy game and screaming racist slurs at players and what tex did, direct racism and indirect racism while both being bad are completely different and deserve different punishments
how can you call yourself an adelaide crows supporter after everything tex has done for the footy club in the last 10+ years? shame on you, people make mistakes, if robbie young can forgive him, so can the fans.
@@helvijssaukants3479 What do you think would happen if an Adelaide Oval Gate attendant quietly made a racist remark? Do you think he would get a 2nd chance like Tex? Would he get paid leave like Tex is? The rules have to be the same for everyone.
@@adelaidecrowshighlights4413 nothing would happen if someone made a racist comment indirectly about a player, happens all the time.
@@helvijssaukants3479 Fans have been banned for 2 years. A 13 year old was detained by Police at the MCG for making a Racist comment. But because its an AFL Player lets give him paid leave and more education. Its a total joke.
Adelaide would be better without him
48 goals this year in limited games im seriously wondering ... how?
@@helvijssaukants3479 exactly
Young clearly has a lot of class. He has the right to be angry, upset or even sad. Yet he sits there like a man, on his own will, and supports a bloke that has done him wrong. Contrast to Taylor Walker's actions, Young restores some faith in humanity.
Crocodile tears in the video lol
Taylor Walker is still yet to face the Media and answer any tough questions. He was left that to his Coach, the Club CEO and Adelaide Crows Board Member and his Business Partner Mark Ricciuto who called it Casual Racism.
thanks for sharing Dave
good work Dave, very cool
I love you Dave
Thanks Dave
Casually calling people vile names like that shows who Walker truly is a racist!
Do you want to crucify him to a cross? He's a young man who's made a mistake. The victim has accepted his apology. This panel seems to just want his blood! Has the panel considered his mental health standing given the public focus on him? Two wrongs don't make a right! Kudos to the young man who accepted the apology, that shows amazing grace.
“Two wrongs don’t make a right” is a common catchphrase by abusers and manipulators. You can not want to crucify him to the cross, and still discuss all the shortcomings and problems this incident has revealed.
Shouldn’t play again
He wont
It is disgusting that fans get banned for 2 years while players get 6 matches suspensions with full pay. The AFL needs to be consistent.
there is nothing consistent about the 2 instances, fan screams at a black player racist slurs while tex's conversation got overheard
@@helvijssaukants3479 imagine reporting someone that plays for you own club
@@helvijssaukants3479 Did you win Gold in Tokyo for mental gymnastics?
6 wks v 2 yrs for racial comments because... shouted v overheard.
Top kek.
I stand against racism and have suffered from it most my life but this witch hunt on Walker now needs to stop. He doesn’t nor does Adelaide owe any of us full details of what happened or what is going to happen to point this all in the right direction, we can see Walker has been hit hard by his stupidity and keeping this going in the media and demanding him front them is not productive to anyone and only pushes a man even further into despair. Don’t get me wrong I am not defending Walker and am a Port supporter not a Crows one so I am not saying this because I am a supporter but keeping this going only hurts Taylor, the Crows and Robby further. Let the healing begin and reconciliation continue as nothing good comes from witch hunting anyone
Yeah pretty sure the white man's said enough in this conversation. Walker needs to do some listening, not more talking.
Hopefully that's what the "time away" is goi g to be. 6months- a year of listening to stories of hurt from indigenous people.
Sorry Danny, can't agree. It's like the thief who got caught with his hand in the till, only sorry cause he got caught!!!
It's not a witch hunt.
He exists. He did what he was accused of. There are rules with penalties. He broke some. He 'apologised' for doing it. He will pay for it. People are discussing it.
It's not a witch hunt.
@@sittinginthebleachers6674 so you know him personally to make that statement?
@@knight2425 You seem to think you know him well enough to make statements about his current mindset.
Why can't anyone else?
Michael O'loughlin is one of the best speakers, legends of the game - why does he not have a gig on TV. ?
Maybe coz he doesn't want it
The power differential between Robbie and the club and Robbie and the racist is vast. No matter what they say, he had no choice for the reasons Craig alluded to in the final seconds of the clip.
Lol that was so awkward and staged
Please someone wtf did he actually say? x
A racist is a racist is a racist
Is a racist is a racist
He knows he f****d up. Give him a chance to prove himself and make amends. Everyone deserves a second chance.
He's going about it the wrong way
LOL mate he still thinks it inside. The guy is an institutional racist, simple.
The video was cringe. Could partly be because of Tex’s limited mental and emotional intelligence. I hope Robbie Young didn’t feel pressure from himself to do that (a common trait in victims). If he believes it’s good for healing and reconciliation, then so be it. If Tex is sincerely apologetic and remorseful, that’s great.
👍
This.
I don't believe Robbie Young would have been overly upset by the incident but it seems it plays well to look hangdog and distraught. Seriously, when you know the player is saying it to get under your skin and you know he doesn't want to burn a cross on your front lawn, how deeply does it really cut?
With the enormous focus on stamping out racism and almost weekly deification of indigenous footballers and scathing attacks on anyone who says or does anything perceived to be racist, today's environment is a far cry from what Nicky Winmar and others endured in the 70s, 80's and even 90's.
If he believed Walker genuinely despised him because of the colour of his skin there is no chance in hell he would have agreed to sit with him a few days after the abuse. A genuine racist would not repent and beg forgiveness .
@@markmooroolbark252 that post makes zero sense.
Racism can't be tolerated. i feel for Tex being persecuted because he is in a position to be judged and vilified by all, however he must cop the punishment and he has to grow as a person for realising his behaviour is never acceptable. He will be a lesson to others who dare to toe the line of racism that our community is not accepting it. They banned supporters from games for years. Similar penalties must be for players for consistency. Also to return community service would be appropriate.
Totally fake apology set up.....Robbie Young should be saying something aswell.....I’ve seen him on rooster tv and he is a great television talent, he should have said a lot more and been much more prominent..this is cringeworthy ....and good on the always honest Kane Cornes for calling walker out
Taylor walker needs to be sacked and punished. How Sickening!
I’m certainly against racism and it’s not acceptable but also believe people make mistakes in life. How they action that mistake will determine what others think of them. Kane, the man doesn’t have to answer to you or the media as a whole. There are far more important people who have been effected and they are the ones who take priority.
Yes he does, pathetic that he's hiding behind club officials. He should be a man and face the music. Dave Warner and Steve Smith did and before the whole world when caught cheating. That was all over the worlds media. They took their medicine like men.
Walker is a weak character and has proved it by fleeing to Broken Hill and going into hiding .
He should get 20 weeks ban.The fact that he first denied that he said those things and people had to step forward testified.That tell me that he is not sorry at all. he is now sorry because the investigators did their jobs.
Lol the pauses within the video is Tex trying to remember his lines gosh I was cringing throughout that whole video.
I thought he was having trouble reading the teleprompter
He was reading off a teleprompter 100%
stop suppressive negativity with your dissecting , you hater, find the positive out of this he is going to be educated what more do you wand mr perfect
@@andrewwilliamson5332 yeah agree. If there was no teleprompter he would be stuttering through the apology.
He's not the sharpest bulb in the store
"Im gonna lean on ya Robbie" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At the very least he could have fronted the media. Crows need to drop him and move on...
Dermie is defending himself right there, mate!
Taylor has been given a set of lines to repeat you can see he is really struggling to remember them. The North Adelaide player has been promised a good job at the Adelaide Football Club for his cooperation. That video is beyond cringe. The AFL has set a President of 2 year bans for fans who make racist comments, for them to give Taylor only a 6-week penalty with full pay is a complete joke.
riccutio paid him 10 grand to sit there
Does anybody know what was actually said? Haven't spent a huge amount of time searching for it but you would have thought, with all the drama, it would be easier to find what the actual comment was, so that we can adjudicate for ourselves how to respond.
oath, what the hell happened
Some rough racist words and he denied them at first.
@@mikediao15 So, you don't know either.
@@dogsmorning7807 I do know that much. Walker actually said the guy that reported it was lying. His representatives said there was no substantial evidence to back up the claims.
@@mikediao15 my question was regarding the statement. I would wager, because nobody is mentioning it, that it was fairly innocuous and a storm in a teacup to pander to the minorities.....again.
For now, Walker can front the media all he wants and answer all the questions he can, but it really isn't going to do much good when you think about it. He had his chance, and now it's a huge missed opportunity. Now, it's going to come down to the body of work. he's going to have to put some major work in for anti-racism and anti-defamation. He needs to pull a Damien Monkhorst and put that type of body of work together like Monkhorst did with Michael Long. Walker screwed up big time, and no amount of media time with journos is going to fix that. Remorse will help, but it's what he does afterwards now that will be his test.
What annoys me is these PR stunts that the AFL and football clubs come out with where he has to awkwardly film a video with Robbie and sulk about it and whatever else. It's uncomfortable for Robbie, Taylor and the fans. It is cringe level to see a grown man crying in a video...not because of what he said but because he got caught and is in the public eye and worried about his career. Unfortunately Taylor said the wrong thing and I feel tremendously for Robbie, his family and his people. However I would have much preffered Taylor contact Robbie in private and understand the deeper level of emotion. I would have preferred if he took some time to understand the culture and why he should be sensitive about these things and accept his sanctions. Would have been a lot more sincere if Taylor and the Adelaide football club took some time to digest this and in a few weeks or months once you have truely learnt your lesson then put your hand up and say you sincerely regret what you have said...This just feels forced and looks like a guy worried about his career, not about what he has said and who he has affected.
Mistakes do happen, however 6 matches is very little which means he will be back by round 4 of 2022. If the game is serious about stamping out racism, you should be banned for a whole calendar year (I won't say banned for life because mistakes happen...however reflection and understanding is a big part and you are all mature footballers who are role models...particularly the players...you have kids looking up to you. 6 games is fairly light and I'm ashamed the AFL wants to push this under the rug and doesn't take a bigger stance...particularly with all the ads of Eddie betts about racism...indigenous round and the AFL documentaries that have been released in the past year detailing the struggles of indigenous players.
Agree. I feel the media circus around this has only hurt more indigenous folks. Could have been done privately. Drug cases are handled behind closed doors. So should this. Tex is already a better person I bet.
That is the most awkward interview that I have just about watched. If anyone thinks that is legitimate apology, wow. If that was a fan, they would be banned for life.
Was better than Eddie McGuire's apology for what he said about Adam Goodes.
Not a particularly impressive feat.
Pretty low bar but you're not wrong lol
Eddie McGuire didn’t do anything wrong though you clown
Didn't he blame it on some kind of cold & flu medication? Absolute classic
@@Dylan-fr6ku oh it's on like king Kong
one of the most uncomfortable and cringe things i've seen, why is Tex acting as if his the victim man
what young said to M Crouch in that match prior was as much of a disgrace
Either Lloydy had a good weekend at the snow or the make up lady got the shade wrong
Is anyone looking after Matthew Nicks please?
Scripted and not at all genuine or heartfelt apology.
Look i get those personalities trying to defend taylor walker having relations with him or whatever but when ur white as chalk dont even try to make any comment about racism and the degree in which someone has meant it or said it - your only digging your own grave. Take a leaf out of this panel, Matthew Nicks, the hosts of AFL 360 and the respect theyve shown to the issue not only this one but ones before also.
So you cannot make any comment on racism due to the certain pigmentation of your skin.... sounds racist to me.
@@LTBurger well not when the comments are basically lessening the act of pure racism and from people who have never and will never experience racism like the indigenous community has.
@@ellegonzi That’s racist. How do you know who and who hasn’t experienced racism? You’re saying that white people cannot have an opinion based off of their skin colour.
Why do you express outrage on behalf of the indigenous community - do you speak for them?
@@LTBurger stating that a white person will never experience what an indigenous person has in regards to racism is not racist, its fact.
@@ellegonzi That’s not what you’re saying though - you’re saying that white people cannot have an opinion on racism because they’re white.
Racists can't help being racist, that's why their racist, it comes from feeling above, feeling supreme, more worthy.
cringe on all sides tbh
More AFL rubbish 6 weeks suspension what a joke
Interestingly none of the indigenous people canvassed are specifically calling for Tex to front the media. I'd say as long as he takes their advice on board, participates in the programs and genuinely treats this as a chance for personal growth he can move on.
anyone know what he said?
Big brain move from Robbie Young making Tex look even more like an idiot in his apology video
how is it not casual racism? he didn't say anything directly to robbie young, he made an insult about him to matt crouch and the slip of the tounge it was racist, does it make it okay? no, of course not, but ''casual racism'' is the right term here, it was never suppose to cause any harm and the only reason we know about this is because it was overheard from a private conversation between 2 players 1 (matt crouch) who had just been belted by robbie young on the footy field.
What did he actually say
Casual? What was he wearing jeans and a shirt without a tie?

Walker needs to front up in the next day or so and take the hit. If he is truly remorseful he should be happy to do it. The damage has already been done. When you're dealing with this issue you need genuine emotion and raw unfiltered answers, not scripted cringe.
Why? So he can get even more heat from the media as soon as he fronts up it’s basically giving food to a seagull they just keep coming back

There's no doubt in my mind that we are not only going bull, but BTCis going nuclear. A lot of people are wondering if now is a good time to buy because of where the price is at right now. I'd say it's outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and wait maybe incur some losses along the line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor finding ways to always increase and stack up more coins thereby making prof!ts should be the way of life, even experienced traders are in a doubt to take long or short position.

@@paulmcgrory5165 Yes, you could genuinely see the hurt he is going through. I really got the impression that Tex is finished. How did you read it?

@Sasha Taylor Agreed & Deserved too!
can Mark Ricciuto PLEASE define Casual Racism?
Probably what is said to white people.
Oh stop it. The sickening sanctimony uttered by all these tv heads is vomit inducing. A well known footballer used derogatory language in an exchange with an indigenous player. He was caught out, punished and has now apologised. We do not need another month of lectures and pontification on there being no place for racism. Why was Robbie Young brave to be sitting there with Walker? The misuse of this word is one of the great faults of this modern era. Everybody is brave. You quit on your Olympic team and you are brave. Tell the world you have anxiety and mental demons-you are a hero and an inspiration. It is so ridiculous. What was Young risking other than endless praise and congratulations for sitting beside Walker?
Move on. I am so tired of rare incidents like this being blown up and inflamed by the media so they can parade their virtue and cow tow to the indigenous community in a contest to see who show who has the most empathy and awareness of their white privilege.
This past decade has been an absolute circus as far as western culture is concerned.
Well said.
I am Greek . Many migrants where called names in the 60s 70s 80s 90s and still occurs at times.
Please Please . Stop picking on an individual. This is a world wide problem.
What is the the Education system from this point is going to do ? What are Governments going to do ?
Man kind makes many mistakes. As a carlton supporter I hope Tailor Walker plays again .
Why do Indigenous players have to be endlessly forgiving while white footballers and their clubs educate themselves. So hard for their kids to see their heroes demeaned by racism.
He needs to front the media ... because KC says so? Tex is many things, but he's not a media tart like KC and, I suspect (unlike KC) he doesn't want make himself the centre of attention. He's apologized in a way that he thought he could manage. It wasn't great, but that's what he could do now and, to his great credit, Robbie Young supported him. I suspect Tex wouldn't know how to answer the difficult questions that armchair critics like KC would want answered. He has to do some deep soul searching and then maybe he'll be in a better place to answer the questions and rebuild trust. Give him a break and concentrate on supporting the people Tex has hurt. As Eddie Betts said, 'Tex is on his own journey'. Let's listen to Eddie Betts and Tony Armstrong and other indigenous players or past players, not the self satisfied white talking heads.
His name is Taylor Walker not Tex 🤷 it's BS he'll get to play again a fan would get a life ban he gets 3 weeks 😡 F this game and the players they think they can't be touched just go to a bar with AFL players and you'll see them in their true colours 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Eddie Betts: The mind camp was racist, soul-destroying and still affects my family life to this day
Tex: That camp was the best thing I've ever done! I'd recommend it to anyone!
Ricciuto didn't say it was casual racism, he just mentioned casual racism. Which is a good place to start. I think Heretier Lumumba mentioned casual racism as well, specifically about nipping racism in the bud.
What did Tex actually say?
Can any one tell me what he said!!
I think that Mark Ricciuto's comments have been taken out of context, I understood what he meant, that racist comments have been accepted as part of normal language.
Video is down
What did he say?
How many "lessons" can people learn. People don't kill someone and say, oh, I didnt know. Me and the community have learnt the lesson now.
Did he kill anyone?

@@imalwaysright Scroll down through the comments section and you can see people of all races share their thoughts and experiences, though yes I agree with you 100% about the past.
can anyone respond and tell me what he has said
yeah it seems to be a secret. Just give us a clue, someone, what carro described as 'what came out ' Why is an obvious part this( ie what he said) , is sidestepped. ??
The AFL could stamp out racism TODAY if they wanted to. Something like a mandatory 20 game ban for players who transgress. A 6-week ban for a player playing for a club whose season is already over is pathetic as is the 20K fine which is probably a week's wages for Tex.
There is only one race. The human race
If you can not see that then you are racist.
The video was pure cowardice.
He left his club, coach and everyone else around him to front the media so he can slink off until the heat dies down.
Absolutely rubbish apology.
He has to serve his time and do whatever is necessary to learn from this. Unfortunately you have someone like McGuire who makes racist comments and appears to get off lightly.
How is Tex going to be able look his indigenous teammates in the eye again? I say it's career over & all respect is gone.
Quite easily I'd think. Footballers and mates say things in the heat of the moment all the time. I've heard mates call umpires bald headed maggots and I don't immediately assume they have hatred of all bald men. Walkers indigenous teammates will judge him on a decade of behaviour at the club, while training, socializing and playing and not on one isolated incident.
What did he say? I’d say calling someone bald is in a way different category to being racist against an entire demographic of people
@@markharrison6498 Sigh. I didn't say they were in the same category but both comments can be spoken in a moment of rage or frustration and both could come from someone who feels no real hatred or bigotry. As I said-such abuse is not appropriate but the overreaction is what sickens me. Nobody truly thinks Walker is a racist. He's just an idiot for saying what he said.
@@markmooroolbark252 what did he say. I don’t watch tv and I only just heard about the incident. I hear it was some next level racism though
@@markmooroolbark252 I can’t find what he said anywhere. From what I’ve seen I don’t think there’s been an overreaction but I don’t know what was said and haven’t been paying attention haha. I might be grossly wrong here given my ignorance. The bloke is a leader and I feel like racism is unacceptable coming from a mature player. A six week ban and 20k fine seems woefully inadequate imo
Stephen Rowe has a vested financial interest with the Crows, everyone here in Adelaide knows that
robbie young disrespected the players girlfriends at the game and thats why tex got verbally abusive
.......”I’m not sure”, says CM - well shut. And you’d expect Cornes to crap on.
Most awkward apology ever
Tex has been outed, he tried to apologise on national TV. I think we all need to take note. Watch how we behave and support Tex and the Aboriginal people. We are All Australians. Let’s do this. Let’s support each other and address racism together. Tex should be left alone now. Don’t drag this out.
King Kane.
I thought Dermott brereton retired when he lost his hair?
Kane corns ,is true walker should front the media
Walker should of been better prepared when doing this video , he said racism in society , or should it of been on the football field also , the AFL had been doing all it can to stop this for over 3-4 years on the grounds , and he should of known better once being a Captain of Adelaide Crows
