Kidding , what a joke

NSW Blues and Sydney Roosters skipper James Tedesco has been fined $10,000 by the NRL over a late-night incident at Bondi Beach.

It had been alleged the champion fullback directed a racial comment towards a woman of Vietnamese descent which forced the NRL’s integrity unit to launch an investigation.

The Daily Telegraph understands the allegations of racism could not be proven.

However he was fined for drunken behaviour.

[Ghost of Maubs]

He should sue the NRL.

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

He should sue the NRL.

Absolutely. What a joke Those fools have now labeled the Roosters and Blues Capaain as a racist. Great farking work bumbleheads.

[JAF]

Another example of NRL incompetence!

Can Teddy sue the woman for defamation and get her to pay for the $10k??

And does this now set a new precedent for all NRL players - a $10k fine for any drunken behavior??

What a JOKE ...

I really think he should consider it. I heard some comedians takling in a podcast recently and they were asking each other what the worst thing you can call a white person is. They all agreed that most whites will freak the hell out if called a racist. Very few people would like that label. It is a disgrace that Teddy has to put up with this nonsense.

Another nail in the pathetic coffin of the NRL.

[Johnny Tobin]

Not a good look.

[Kelvin Johnson]

So a fine for being drunk in the off-season. Big deal. No fine for the girl being drunk and no proof of any racist comment.

If true my guess is that it's like what I was suggesting...
- No acceptance of fault for the actual allegation, but acceptance (privately) that he coulda done more to deescalate it.
- He's on $1m+ so it's a drop in the water (1% of his salary or less and it's probably in the form of a tax deductible charity donation, so he'll get half of it back from the man).
- NRL have 'done something'. Book's closed. Teddy's free to play, captain, earn...etc.
- Minor lesson learned. Be REALLY careful when out in public. You literally dunno who anybody is. Some random Asian girl in her 20's could have a brother who sponsors South Sydney. Assume EVERYBODY is in that boat and give them NOTHING... absolutely NOTHING to fault you on.

Next time Teddy should snort coke in public rather than drink. He would save himself $10,000.

[ism22]

Next time Teddy should snort come in public rather than drink. He would save himself $10,000.

Yeah no... not a great idea to snort come.

Ok sure. You think the perception of the public is Teddy was fined for being drunk? Nice one. I do recall your previous hatred of Indigenous Australians so ....
