Please re read my post as I didn't talk anywhere about it being acceptable although some people of colour seem to think it's ok to use the N word and others not but in my mind that word is always unacceptable.
My apologies, I think I read (far) more into "bend the truth" and "sensationalise the incident" than was there. Possibly also conflating with responses of other posters on other rugby boards.
That's 100% my bad.
The point of my post is quite evident, trying to understand if Ugo has deliberately tried to make this issue into something it wasn't.
In what way?
Key facts that he missed, Exeter did report the issue, security were there, people did intervene, the abuser was mixed race with a black girl friend there, the abuser was South African.
The first would be key facts if factual - What information to the eggchasers have that the rest of us don't (currently)?
What relevance is there that the abuser was mixed race? what relevance is there that the abuser's girlfriend is black and present? What relevance is there that the abuser was South African (beyond the obvious impossibility of South Africans being racist, of course).
Would all of those supposed facts have been known to Ugo in the heat of the moment?
A] His tweet reads like it was an Exeter fan (which it wasn't) and no one did anything to help (which they did), B] so by inference all Exeter fans that stood by were racists. C] He words it as to ensure he'll get a sensationalist response and I wonder if that is deliberate to fit his narrative or if it wasn't deliberate.
A] I disagree, it reads like he made the assumption that someone who paid to attend a rugby match was a fan of rugby.
B] That's one hell of a reach, and absolutely can't be read from Ugo's tweets.
C] I disagree, he words as someone who is pee.d off to have been the victim of abuse.
He owes an apology to the fans that did step in to help and the security and he possible owes one to Exeter in the way he worded the tweet to besmirch the Exeter fans.
Why? He was the victim here, posting something from his own perspective.
Just interesting to see what comes of this 'rugby is racist' narrative we hear.
I'm still waiting to hear that narrative as anything beyond "society is racist, and rugby is a part of society"
But I fully acknowledge that that could easily be my absence from social media.
I've no time for the eggchasers - care to break it down for us?
