Just calling a spade a spade ;)
- in the midst of comments about a black player, is a dodgy statement.

Spade, whilst the reference listed it as being a post-civil war insult regarding Afro-Americans, has been a common racial slur around the English speaking world throughout my lifetime... Perhaps not in Australia due to the lack of Africans in the country (until recent times).

I'm stunned that Joffa seems to think "calling a spade a spade ;)" is contextually racist and will ban without clarification, yet is seemingly fine with Heineken saying "let's do the Japs like '45" several days ago.

That people are continuing to defend his bizarre behaviour is even more astounding.


It's all about context innit

Eight pages? Really?

"Spade" is a deeply offensive, derogatory term for black people, right up there with the N-word. Any use in connection with a black player is a ban. Simple. Disingenuous "plausible deniability" will not save you.

If it truly was a genuine mistake, our apologies for the two day suspension - but it didn't look like it. You'll survive the suspension. The world will keep on turning.

And notorganic - missing one incident of racism is not a reason to ignore another that mods did see. Either the forums are over moderated or they are not. Make your mind up.

BTW, Sign-ups were locked down to prevent the flood of spammers. It worked (for the moment), and they've been open again for weeks.

And now...LOCKED.
