I mentioned "PC gone mad" cos a lot of posts on the Leeds board and social media are saying that, or wtte.

It really disheartens me that other fans of my beloved sport can be so backward.

Homophobic undertone or not, it's stupid.

When I was 11 I got bit by a dog, from that point forward I stayed away from the dog and didn't risk getting another bite.

If nothing else, Hardaker is ridiculously idiotic for not thinking twice and learning his lesson.

Can't even continue reading the Leeds thread on it. Mind you I should've known, Yorkshire's still a good few decades behind the rest of us. (Speaking from experience)

You can already see it:

"This just in, Leeds Rhinos to warmup ahead of their game against Wigan in shirts showing support for victimised team mate Zac Hardaker."

Excellent post, more of the same please. It's a well known fact that Warrington and the Liverpool area are wonderful .

Implying I am from or live in Liverpool.

I admit my post was a gross generalisation and I retract it, but having spent quite a lot of time in Yorkshire, I know where I prefer.

I'm not arguing about the homophobic comments being wrong. What I don't get, is how nobody batters an eyelid about somebody calling someone else for being fat, small, ginger etc.. I bet Rob Burrow has been called called a little s**t, chris riley called a ginger p***k and craig huby called a fat b*****d at some point and nothing has been said.

They're all forms of discrimination and I'm sure there's a 'phobia word associated with each of these. How are these anymore acceptable than making fun of someone's sexuality?

I'm pretty small and have took a proper ribbing for it throughout my life. It doesn't bother me at all but I could see how it could get to someone who is a bit less thick skinned and they would take offence to comments about their size.

Cheers

Chris
