Has Herrieter Lumumba got a Genuine Gripe?

[grassy1]

Only got the bare outline on him being upset with his Team mates,Beams and Pendlebury,on dressing up and saying they are going to The Gay Mardi GRAS.I always thought those events were around Festival months like March.

So were those 2 taking the Piss,or did Mr Lumumba make a Mountain out of a Molehile?Collingwood Premiership Captain and former Coach,took Herrieter to task,accusing him of Double standards.Shaw has been known to be a straight shooter,but is he right about Lumumba's stance?

[Crazyman]

Don't have a problem with him being offended, but is really mountain and molehill stuff...

He's just a SNAP - Sensitive New Age Person

Shaw is possibly the stupidest human being on the planet. The fact that anyone would take any notice of his comments shows the state of footy media.

I fully support Lumumba, if noone does anything then nothing changes. It was not just the single incident, it was the culture that permeated the place that this was not an issue.

When Longy and Winmar stood up to racism, that was also considered "not an issue" at the time.

Lumumba seems to get offended for other people an awful lot.

Yeah if it was more then someone writing "You boys heading to Mardi Gras" then I'd agree.

But to want people kicked out of the club for writing that is absurd. The players were told it was not on but that wasn't enough Harry O, he wanted them named and shamed publicly. I feel Collingwood have called his bluff on the walk out and now Harry wishes he hadn't.

I haven't read that he wanted people sacked.

By the looks of this, there is more media in this than story.

Think he is secretly gay.

Oh shit, black AND gay, hope you are building that kerosene soaked cross as we speak?

Player manager trying to spin it a different way in hope some other club will take a chance..

Predict a gig on next seasons Dancing With the Stars where it can finally be all about H.

Except that he is not going to have any issue finding a club....

Indeed.

I think it's fine if he wants to be offended for others and tries to educate people on what is and isn't acceptable, but unless there is a serious culture problem down there (surely Caro would have sussed it out by now) I think he's too sensitive.

Also he'd have to be really f****** naive to think people won't say offensive stuff at other clubs.

I'll have a hunt for the link later Sis.

If what you've linked is true then maybe Collingwood have finally worked out that blokes who run and carry the ball 20 metres before thumping it 25 metres high and 30 metres forward and then shit themselves under the highball are a dime a dozen.

Maybe he is sick to death of people thinking he's gay and having jokes about it and he's actually not. I would think if he is gay Collingwood would be the last place to be and come out.

I'd never heard that. I don't think his sexuality is the issue here either, it's how he gets offended for everyone else.

Well why couldn't he get offended about how our players have been treated by the media and opposition supporters over the past 2 years.

Managers aside,I just wonder if the members of the AFLPA have the same stance now as they have before?

Ben,any Imfo there?
