Well we are all hillbillys and rednecks out this way, or so we are told. And everyone knows a rednecks stance on "faggots". Point is every club has some people who push the limits when it comes to banter, even if some are to high and mighty to admit it. Context and manner of delivery is the main issue with it, out on the field, with adrenaline pumping some things may get said, that maybe shouldn't but there no hiding that it does happen. I'd be pretty surprise if a single player in the whole comp away from the field was really a racist. 99% of us happy to forget it all once we are off the park. And premy I would think if major offence was taken with the comments you are referring to then they should be raised with you duty officer then and there so perpetrators can be dealt with immediately.
