Latrell Online Racial Abuse - NRL Following Up

[Salvatori Grubber]

although – the fact that you know about AFL is worrying

[Kelby]

C'mon Lats we all love you here.

[Salvatori Grubber]

He's a champion. Love his attitude.

Any message/signs of support anyone can whip up for Sunday? Would be great to show Latrell that his Roosters family are behind him at times like these

I thought it was awesome a few years back when we had the SKD signs

The gentleman in question...I use the term very loosely here..has been named in today's Astonisher. Do I risk trouble quoting his name here?

Parra fan apparently.

"It capped a shocking weekend for NRL players being trolled".. It's not just the weekend for these blokes though is it, No doubt they cop it all the time, just so happens we found out about this particular one.

I second the messages of support from the crowd on Sunday, not sure if he's gonna be playing, but either way I don't think this sort of reaction would signal Latrell as the poster boy for saying no to racism, he had a ton of support from fellow indigineous players in response to this message and a step beyond the players speaking up and the platitudes of an NRL talking head is probably now needed. We sit amongst a lot of these scumbags.

Lattrell is a big boy hel be fine.
It's a non event
We are all earthlings

It’s not good what was said to Latrell but I just can’t work out why you would read it. A hotmail account & the Chookpen is as far as I’ve gone on the social media scene & if I was Latrell I would get off all that sh!t & just communicate with people you know in person or on the phone.

[Johnny73]

This is a perfectly succinct and appropriate position to hold.

Rockin'!

Im racist but I hate everyone equally.
Im also a raciist when it comes to bread, I only eat white bread.

He may be a bit grubby on the field, but gee latrell is all class off it, seems to really understand his culture and has a great passion to make his stance and keep speaking out.

speaks like he is really well educated on the subject and doesn’t just say the normal cliche type stuff.

Even heard other supporters change their tune on him when they have met him after matches and away from football.

time to lock him down for a while.

Do you toast it

[roosterchook]

Racism is an evil. Should never be tolerated anywhere on any forum and is an abuse of freedom of speech.

[Mickie Lane]

Do you toast it

Only if I rob your TV & toaster.

Who is JCF?

We’re one of the most racist countries in the world, and are completely unaware of it.

Thats utter BS and one of the biggest myths about this country. Most Australians will treat anyone with respect if they aren't a dickhead.

Calling out a dickhead from a different culture is not being racist.

This crop of young australians seem to think any form of abuse or joke is racism
