    • Agree Brett and longfin 

      my eldest sometimes says it out of frustration to his younger brother who is Aspergers and it really shits me !! It just doesn’t belong anywhere anymore whether he said it lightheartedly or not me thinks 

  • The NRL should hang it's head in shame for what it has handed down here. My mum taught special ed for many years and I can't believe the lack of consideration for the community in general displayed by this 'punishmnet' and in the apology issued by AFB. So glad Ben Ikin brought this all out into the public domain.

    • You have it right here, Fong

  • It always seems that those who say some particular word or phrase doesn't matter are the ones who have never had to live with the stigma. They also rarely appear to put 2 + 2 together, somehow thinking when a particular label is used as an insult that whole identities can be tarnished with that insult. 

    It's really not that difficult. We just have to put ourselves in others shoes, which we will never do perfectly, but even the effort to do so should encourage caution about attaching insults to identities. Even AFB knows this, once the heat died down

      • Yeah, my charity toward a Moanly wanker is limited so I'm happy to concede AFB may know nothing.
