Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3597220, member: 1899"] “I think sports people are held to a higher standard than the rest of the community, but I think the game has failed in this instance. I don’t think the eight weeks is sufficient for what has been said and the mental scars that have been brought up and what our culture has endured over the history since colonisation.” [URL='https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/nrl/the-game-has-failed-in-this-instance-thurston-says-eight-week-leniu-ban-isn-t-enough-20240312-p5fboj.html']Source[/URL] Is this what you're referring to? Because I don't see the issue with this statement in context of race relations and the history of racial vilification in this country. Watching the interview, he was primarily talking about it from a Rugby League context and how racism should be heavily punished which is what I'd expect an Indigenous representative to push for since he is a role model for the community.
