Thought the whole Thaiday comment reaction is a storm in a teacup really.

Well, it's only early on a saturday night in Sydney. I'm going for a reasonably safe trifecta. A drive by shooting outside NRL HQ before sun up.

Honestly if anyone can't tell he's joking they are the one with the problem. Just the media pinning medals on themselves for beating an apology out f somebody taking the piss.

And I understand that if the situation was reversed and if a white player said the same joke about a black or Asian woman he'd be totally rubbed out of the game, and I'd be saying the same thing in favor of them.

Last thing, the same people that complain that the players all give the same cookie cutter comments at the end of the game are he same arseholes that will complain this guy's racist!! Some people will never be happy.

You nailed it Ned

It's nuts isn't it? A sense of humour is turned into an offence for the sake of wowser outrage.

 

[wombatgc]

I just went onto Sam's FB page to gauge the
reaction....holy shiit we're in trouble as a country if the majority of comments are anything to go by!

 

[Harvies elbow]

For god's sake...
I'll leave it to our Silvertails women to deal with this one.
I'm sure I know the result !!

Well, I'll chime in - I'm sure I'm not the only woman around these parts who's ever uttered the phrase "once you go black, you never go back". What's the difference?!

Oh, and I've used the phrase sarcastically/ironically, and in my (admittedly limited) experience it's not true

From what I've been told it depends on the location but for now I'll just utter....
You bloody beauty !!

 

[Andrew..]

There's a fine line nowadays but it will be a sad day if Australia loses all it's larikanism.

 

[Harvies elbow]

The myth of this outrage is that irs a very small percentage of people that is outraged.
The sooner they are treated as such the better.
Ignorance is power.
( with apologies )

 

[Karin]

People just need to take a chill pill. Thaiday is a funny bloke I love his one liners. What's next? an apology to Celene Dion for miming her song -sheesh....

 

[andyvb]

I agree the comments were funny, but... if u repeat his comment and change the word white to black, how do u think the country including Sam would react

 

[Pablo]

Oh the humanity!

 

[Vyssini]

Personally I believe he should be rubbed out for one match...

 

[Lord Eagleton]

This is embarrassing. The PC brigade blowing things out of proportion as per...

 

[Nordburg]

The only offence Thaiday incurred is going on the Footy Show.He should get 8 weeks just for that

So Proctor and Bromwich are into their own "white" stage at the moment as well???
White lines...................
White! Ooh-white!
White! Ooh-white!
White! Ooh-white!
White! Ooh-white!
Vision dreams of passion
(Going through my mind)
And all the while I think of you
(Pipeline)
A very strange reaction
(Yours to unwind)
The more I see, the more I do

White Lines..........................
