Rugby League, Live & Breathe It.

I love Rugby League, I basically live and breathe it. It sasses up Rugby Union any day. Personally, the Rugby World Cup is overrated.

ANYWAYS back to Rugby League!
I support the New Zealand Warriors, New Zealand Kiwis and the Queensland Maroons :)

Anyways, in the 'other' camp, the New South Wales Blues, assistant coach made a racial slur towards Maroons player, Greg Inglis which shocked Blues player, Timana Tahu. Both players are of aboriginal descent.

Although Johns intentions were to not sound racist but it was taken as being racist to Tahu, who walked out on his team due to the slur.

Personally, I think that if you're gonna say something along the lines of, "Stop Inglis", just say that, don't need to be descriptive about it.

Since this occurrence, Johns quit his assistant coaching job for the New South Wales because of the hype around the racial slur.
