What's the bet they won't actually be BIG names and just a couple of fringe first graders?

I was thinking the same, until I realised that it's being used in a derogatory context. There's nothing in it but it's a no-no in these over sensitive days where people deliberately seek outrage.

Over sensitive? I don't think so.

The sooner terms such as 'poofter' or '******' for instance disappear from society's vocabulary, the better. In my opinion, if you're using these terms to try and insult someone, you just come across as looking like a crass, uneducated bogan stuck in the 70s.

To be fair Issac got trolled hard and he bit back with a response they wanted.

He was reaching out to anyone who knew the guy that was coward punched inside the stadium (the guy I walked past) so he could give him a signed jersey and some Easter eggs.

The word isn't right in today's society. But the bigger picture is that people were congratulating a fan being assaulted at the footy.

He needs to be fined, he has already apologised and we move along with life.

Oh absolutely, I wasn't really commenting on the social media post itself, just the general usage of terms such as those!

Good on him for trying to help out the guy that was attacked.

It's not the insult itself, but the bigger picture.

Not a fucking chance I'm entering into a debate with either of you two though, so **** it, I'll just settle for being some over-PC elite trendy ****.

****, fuckhead, dickhead, shitbag, cockhead, wanker, loser, lowlife, scumbag etc etc

There is a lot of different ways he could have insulted them without adding the problems that gay people face in society
