What a hypocritical prick! Whilst I admire both Johns' and Inglis' ability on a footy field, I've never much cared for them as people as I think they're both cut from the same cloth, i.e. a cloth diametrically opposed to that of Nathan Hindmarsh. But honestly, when it emerged that Inglis had assaulted his girlfriend, he, along with his manager, club and Storm team mates called for calm and begged the public not to judge Inglis until all the facts were out.
Now, despite the fact that said racist remark was directed at Inglis, it was made not to Inglis' face, and thus he cannot possibly know all the facts surrounding the incident. If Inglis wanted (and received) benefit of the doubt, I can't see why Johns can't expect the same courtesy.
Let's face it. Neither racism nor violence towards women are tolerated in our society and both parties appear to have be guilty of one of these acts of wrongdoing. As such, I don't think either qualify to comment on another's integrity or indeed their position within the game!

He is a hell of a player but for the life of me I can't understand why he appears to have been selected as Melbourne's unoffical spokesman appearing often on the footy show and the like. He does more harm than good every time he opens his mouth.
Every time there is a controversy within the game, you can bet your last dollar that one of these monkeys will voice their opinion, an opinion that is neither asked for nor substantiated !
