Nahas in Trouble

[one-eyed]

Here is the MRP's explanation...

Contact between Richmond's Robin Nahas and the Sydney Swans' Nick Smith from the third quarter of Saturday's match was assessed. Smith has his head down after picking up the ball when he is tackled by Nahas. Nahas applies a tackle, without making high contact, and takes Smith to ground with the forward momentum of the Sydney player. Smith's head makes contact with the ground but it was the view of the panel that Nahas did not use excessive force or drive his opponent into the ground. No further action was taken.

Thought as much. Nothing in it.

From The Age:


The two other players scrutinised for tackles that caused their opponents to hit the head on the ground, Richmond's Robin Nahas and Essendon's Nathan Lovett-Murray, both escaped charges

Very lucky - will take it 

Lovett-Murray is the lucky one.

if it wasnt the dreamtime game they would have suspended lovett murray or if he was of a different culture. afl is fos, reverse racism at its best

Why wasn't Nahas suspended then?

please explain reverse racism

Well there is no reverse racism in this case, if there is such a thing. Racism is racism, it does not matter where it comes from. If Nahas was suspended then perhaps one could argue a weak case.

thats what i was i getting at GR12. It's normally a silly term that by it's nature in the way it's used implies that only whites can be racist.

but giving favor to someone based on race could actually be reverse racism, as x man claims.

not that i think it's the case though.

I knew where you coming from, Al and i agree.
However, i think the term username is looking for is 'affirmative action'.
