Now there's a few more details....
Apparently what was said was B**** dog. Now as footy players call each other dogs all the time - usually for some cheap shot or another - then obviously the issue is the first word or the combination. Watched Q&A on Monday and some first nations woman who is a lawyer happily said to an English panellist - first time in my life I've listened to a white fella. So I'm assuming if first nations people with legal backgrounds can happily call white people 'white' then using colour as a term isn't a problem.
So is it the combination then? Must be. Cannot be anything else if other judgements are to go by. And tbt - heard much worse at footy games every time involving usually sex and family members - thats ok though coz apparently its not racial.
Well Bitchell is so upset he's left the team and is apparently spending time with his family to get over the emotional trauma. Like really? Probably thought good chance for a free holiday (and while on holidays maybe he should by the kid a mchappy meal - whatever the kid said improved his game in the 2nd half).
Teacup meet storm. Kick the kid out. Done. Move on.
