Ban The Racists

Very sad to read that Buddy Franklyn was racially abused by a spectator in Launceston on the weekend..several times he was called a Black C.

I can only hope they find this fool prosecute him and ban him for life from attending any football games.

Pretty serious stuff Joffa. Surprized the crowd did'nt get stuck into the idiot! The best way to get that crap out is that we all stand up to these idiots! Twisted Evil

This is poor

Bad thing for Buddy is that he complains after its all over.

He could have had someone in an official role from the club spot the fool for him and have had police intervention.

Agree Joffa.

And 15,000 at the game (and probably half that Hawks supporters who flew in from Melbourne). Anyone who says Tassie is going to get their own team soon is dreamin'!

I wondered what buddy was upset about at one point in the game, you see him look at the crowd and shake his head at one point in the game. Pretty weak, hopefully they can track down the arsehat and ban him.

I reckon starting with Andrew Bolt and then working our way down to the mentally deficient like this bloke is a more prudent approach.

Absolutely no place for this in our game, we don't want to even have a skerrick of the European Football problem.

Although interesting, had this been a Collingwood crowd could you imagine the outcry.

The Lad does not ever condone violence.

However, in this instance, I wish Franklin or one of his teamates had channelled Eric Cantona and sat this racist pig on his arse.

No place for vile racial slurs in a 'civilised' society we claim to be.

There endeth the lesson...

Agree Joffa. This idiot should be banned for life. I applaud buddy for letting his footy do his talking.

Very sad to hear that this stuff is still going on. You would love to think we have moved on from the bad old days.

Hopefully the name gets leaked out somewhere. Good on Franklin for having a massive game with this going on though.
