Except that if MV had done that it would have put him within 2.5 seconds of LH and vulnerable to the “undercut”.

Essentially a final warning - “do it again and you will get a penalty”

Any more of a “cheat” than tripping a player who is clear in on goal? - or is some cheating ok? Brilliant drive by LH - enjoyed the race despite the “VAR” decision by the stewards.

Those horses don't look like hunters, (too small), and she's dressed in show gear. When it comes to show jumping and eventing then mistreatment of horses is just as rife as it is in racing and hunting.

Seen that - again seems to be suggesting that Biss should be treated differently to other players because of the colour of his skin. Is that what you meant?

Are you suggesting that Biss should be treated differently because of the colour of his skin - isn’t that part of the definition of racism?

No - you can’t criticise diving in order to gain a goal and at the same time applaud a foul to deny a goal.

Where did I ever make that claim ???

You’d be wrong in that guess - I do eat meat and have no objection to animals being bred and raised for human consumption so long as it is done in a caring and humane way. I’ve never suggested nor assumed that anyone who supports drag hunting, or fox hunting, would also support badger baiting...

No more so than your claim, “ The National Trust's decision to ban hunt followers and drag hunts from their land is surely more to do with not liking posh people on horses, than it is to do with protecting foxes.”

The answer is very simple - motive. Fox hunting is carried out for fun - the idea that fox hunting is a pest control exercise is an excuse put forward by the hunting fraternity to try and justify their so called sport. Billions of flies and other insects are killed annually but there is a...

Same argument put forward by those supporting horse and dog racing.

Don’t know - what does it say? Never look at the BBS

That’s what I just said.

They do indeed which is just one reason why such comments are despicable - however they are different to insults based on prejudice.

What an ironic reply to this discussion :wozza: “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”

Not sure how that addresses the point I was making regarding societal harm. Racism has so many knock on effects to people not directly associated with an individual act. Similar ripple effects with regards to the LGBT community were discussed here on NSC just recently - thankfully things are...

I’ve never said that unfounded accusations against anyone are justifiable. However when it comes to harm accusations against an individual and racist insults are not comparable. You can certainly compare what it does to the individuals but racism harms not only the individual but society in...

Would you? Did you? Use the same balance and criticism with regard to Jay Rodriguez?
