TOPIC:

Is anyone else getting absolutely fed up with these gutless morons who go on line on social media and make racist comments to players?  We're seeing quite a lot of it these days and I for one, think it's time non-indigenous Australians started calling these idiots out as well.  Going online to abuse Matty Parker, Kozzy Pickett, Eddie Betts to name a few are disgraceful acts and personally I'd like to see the culprits charged and punished to the full extent of the law. 

You summed it up in two words BC. Gutless Morons. No place for it and that includes the indigenous who also have gutless morons who spew out filthy abuse to innocent caucasian folk going about their daily business.

That needs to be called out by decent indigenous folk instead of turning a blind eye to it or thinking that's ok because of how our ancestors were treated 200 years ago

I agree with the sentiment.  Unfortunately, it is not just confined to those comments.  Some of the comments I have read are well beyond what should be acceptable.

I think as the problem gets worse there will be a change that doesn't allow anonymous posts.

Gutless is right, I'd like to see these "keyboard hero's" say it to these blokes faces, they wouldn't last a second.
they are wimps and cowards.

probably the best thing to do is take away the platform that allows them to do this - permanently for life
there are people who live on their mobiles doing this type of thing 

I think you all have said it all.  I really do get stunned that there are still turkeys out there that carry on in this disgusting, disgraceful way.  I thought Eddy Betts’s clip was absolutely beautiful….good on ya Ed, I hope that helps to bring people around.  I doubt it though, cro-magnons obviously still exist.

Yes. There’s some insipid, spineless pricks out there. I liked it a lot better before when I didn’t hear everyone’s opinion on everything all the time.

I'm on social media a fair bit but cant say I have seen it, mind you I don't follow footy players that much, I can say however that the sewer like language and some of the foulest insults directed mainly by left wing types is out of control on twitter.

We have a register for this that and the other so why aren't these people pursued and place on a list of folk for all to see.

mainly due to no identity enforcements I guess - can't understand why you'd want to do it anyway no real point in it
