"It Opened Up Scars" Latrell Mitchell Urges Lengthy BAN on Spencer Leniu | NRL 2024

[@Robbo3369]

Is this even worth the publicity .? Old school would just laugh it off

[@JackH2254]

Shave ur mullet bro, you look vile

[@robertaustralia1196]

It's definitely worth the publicity. Bringing to light the racism that exists in this country is worth it. And spencer needs to be a man and not go around calling people names like a child this is a mans sport he should have kept his mouth shut and got on with it like a man but instead he chose to act like a child. Ezra done the right thing. Shows we are better then white surpremacists and other races think we are. Imagine if Ezra threw a punch what people would be saying about him and the trouble he would be in. Good on ya Ezra do what the racist don't want you to do they are the ones with their panties in a knot hahaha.

[@Ty.Connelly.]

Laugh it off? Thats cute.... You have to be non-indigenous to dribble like this on race relations in Oz.... Did't "Old School" have the "White Australia Policy"? Didn't " Old School" have racial discrimination pay gaps in the workplace up until 80s/90s Why should Ezra put up with that shit? We got 2024 Goggles on now Dickhead. So why don't you show me an "Old School" scenario where it was just "Laughed Off."

[@Ty.Connelly.]

Laugh it off? Thats cute.... Why should Ezra have to put up with fellow work colleagues who can't control what comes out of their mouth? I mean I cant just go round in my work place hurling racial slang because "Old School " would've laughed it off... We got 2024 Goggles on now Dickhead. But now we're here and since you are soooo knowledgeable in race relations, could you please show us all an "Old School" scenario on KZbin where it was just "Laughed Off."?

As an adult we should be held accountable for our actions even if some of us act like children and going around calling people names. Racism has no place in our sport and in our society what message are we sending if he goes unpunished like andrew johns did. And why do we never see Jonathan Thurston or Mel Maninga or Sam Thaiday or Greg Inglis or Steve Renouf or Hamiso or any other indigenous people in our sport being racist towards europeans or any other race it's because we are made of better stuff.

I thought that commenting on an issue that was before the NRL judiciary was against the NRL rules.

[@clubdj13]

Not sure why Ezra couldn't wait till the end of the game to approach Lenu and find out what he ment. Seen plenty of comments on fb where people didn't even know that the term monkey is used as a racial slurr, especially some of the younger ones. Also Seems odd that a dark man would insult another dark fella with that term, be like Nicho calling me cracker and me being offended rather than confused. This now creates an issue as many of the dark guys who use other words such as the N towards each other ( usually as term of endearment) but could see someone banned or career ruined if a player wanted to make a fuss of it.

[@tyronetuckayo5906]

So basically Latrell is a professional footy player that does not want to follow due processes. Why go to the judiciary when half the Broncos bandwagon know what happened because they were standing next to Spencer ?

[@robertaustralia1196]

Spencer pleaded guilty he knows he has no leg to stand on now the NRL should throw the book at him rip his contract up so it will send a message to others who want to act like a child and call people names. They shouldn't let him get away with it like they let andrew johns get away with it.

The NRL has shown a tuff stance on racism. Let them handle it. I remember when they were deciding the best way to handle head knocks. The advice. Take the decision making away from the players as they can be unrealistic and not fully consider all the ramifications. Same here. Its bad for the game and the players but most importantly its bad for society.

No they haven't andrew johns was not taken care of when he called greg inglis what he called him. Johns has a show still and is a commentator still. He was even called in again by brad fitler to help out in origin again. Everyone turned on Timana Tahu for bring his white surpremacists attitude to light. And the same is happening to Ezra now people are trying to brush it off like nothing. But one things is certain you never see Jonathan Thurston or Mel Maninga or Sam Thaiday or Greg Inglis or Steve Renouf or Hamiso being racist though why is that? We must be made of better stuff.

We must be made of better stuff. I smiled that you think I'm just some white fella making my point. Wrong. I looked up the history...and it is 13 year old history on Timana Tahu. He wanted it handled by mediation and that's how it was handled and out of the blue,Joey decides he is going to step down from coaching the blues. The NRL don't employ him to have his own show or commentate. That's the media. After listening to his comments on the issue at hand today on Freddie and the Eighth. Different attitude. Mate. Move on. 13 years ago. It appears everyone is moving on but you. What happened to Adam Goodes has been a huge wake-up call. The NRL won't want this to fester. At the next Bronco's game there will be a lot of surveillance of the crowd to make sure Ezra is protected from the abuse that Adam was subjected. No good can come for Ezra's career having this played out in the media. He is a very young man and needs to be supported. The comments from Spencer may we'll have been a joke but we expect higher standards today. Racism is no joke.

We have become a very sensitive society. Its not 'tough' like it used to be. And thats okay! We should want a nicer society. Leniu just needs to follow suit like the rest of us.

Latrell is held up as an "indigenous role model + leader" off the field, but he's a deadset grub on it! 💯%🪱 ps Rabs won't make the finals?
