Tigers player in hot water

[stephenj]

just announced on the news the the pride of the league benji marshal is alleged to have split someones lip in a cbd maccas last night, im assuming it wasn't from a kiss? maybe theyd have been better sticking with our tod? at least he owns up honestly to his mistakes!

[stephenj]

i wouldnt consider racist remarks a cause to use violence as a defense? what so wrong about being a kiwi anyway, im sure sam perret wouldnt respond that way!

I agree with you, but I'm also not comfortable with the idea of a professional athlete using physical violence - even against a dickhead (as this bloke may well turn out to be). Anyway, let's wait to see the facts.

Spirit is right. Assault is a serious charge, its doesn't really matter if the guy who got hit is a racist c*** or whatever. I do think though it should wait until its an actual charge is produced before we rush to condemn Marshall. Still if it is as stated here (Marshal went back with another player to carry out the assault) it's actually pretty serious - not heat of the moment stuff.

Racist taunts spark Benji Marshall brawl

Benji Marshall has pledged the support of all the players to help the victims of the Christchurch earthquake and flood victims in Australia.

The poster boy of the NRL, Benji Marshall, claims racist taunts provoked him to punch a man in the face yesterday.

Marshall's manager, Martin Tauber, told The Sun-Herald that a group of eight to 10 people baited the Wests Tigers superstar in The Rocks about 3.20am, allegedly calling him a "black c---" and telling him to "f--- off back to New Zealand".

Mr Tauber confirmed that Marshall – pictured centre, left as the star of The Sun-Herald's 2011 Footy Guide – retaliated by punching one of his alleged tormenters in the face at the intersection of Bridge and George Streets. It is another setback days before the start of the NRL season following a run of scandals. In the past week, Todd Carney has been charged with drink-driving while league identities have been arrested over the Bulldogs betting sting.

The NRL selected Marshall – a clean skin – to officially launch the NRL season at Casula during the week. Marshall's mother, Lydia, said he was not intoxicated when they left the Four Seasons Hotel after a fundraising partnership between the Benji Marshall Foundation and the Children's Cancer Institute of Australia. "The boy is not at fault," Tauber said.

I KNEW IT!......Refer a few posts back where i predicted what people will say!

I await a Mundine "THE NRL ARE JUST RACIST" if they try and punish Marshall in any way.

[Spirit of 66]

This week a young guy stabbed a fellow student at Fairfield High. I understand that his defence was that he was being racially taunted.

Irony.

Apparently, under the Wikipedia entry, it says Irony was the first Rhetorical device killed in grammatical history.

PIM, is it possible that when people misuse the word irony, they are actually using a meaning that is the opposite of the literal meaning and are hence being ironic?

No Tickety Boo, that's Sarcasm.

There's a fine line.

Try telling that to Alanis Morrisette.

Let's not jump to conclusions without knowing the facts.

The guy that was hit may have been a souths fan for all we know....

that would explain the split lip ......no teeth to knock out !
