[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1166299, member: 73592"] 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. In what way? 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] 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. Why? He was the victim here, posting something from his own perspective. 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? [/QUOTE]
