Wigan Warriors • v Hull FC

Wow.

If Clubb says “you silly spiffing chap” fine. He’s essentially saying he’s a “spiffing chap” because he’s silly.

Clubb (allegedly) says “you silly Polynesian spiffing chap” which in turn means he’s essentially saying Savellio is a “silly spiffing chap” because he’s Polynesian.

If someone says to you “you silly English spiffing chap” some may find it offensive, some may not but it’s down to your own perception. Do you perceive it to be hate related because you’re English? If so that can make it a racially aggravated offence. Just because you don’t perceive it to be racist, which I’m astounded you don’t, doesn’t mean it isn’t.

You know it’s ironic you’re calling everyone else ‘woke, snowflakes, politically correct and easily offended’ when you sit there and have the gall to get offended at The Great British Sewing Bee. A single straight white man hasn’t faced discrimination, isn’t given abuse online about his skin colour or sexual orientation, doesn’t face barriers for work/leisure. I never did, not once but I know of a black friend who has multiple times.

As it happens I was frustrated with AJ’s comments, especially as a fan who pays to see all his fights but on the flip side I can completely understand why. Racism is rife in our communities. It’s online everyday, simply look at any post a BAME sports player puts on social media and I guarantee there’s a racist response. Society has sat back and done nothing about it except our fingers in our ears and pretend it’s not happening. Do I think sometimes the race card is played unnecessarily? Absolutely. Just like you playing the ‘woke snowflake’ card.

‘The whole woke, snowflake, politically correct and easily offended folk in this country have turned it into an embarrassment’? Nah, it’s people like you happy to live in a world of discrimination and racism at every level.
