Good post.
Sometimes it’s not even whether the recipient heard the (racist) remark directed at them. But others can take offence on their behalf. (Referring to Taylor Walker here). He was hung, drawn and quartered for a remark the intended recipient didn’t hear. How did that play out? No court case, just a public execution.
The comments were both very similar.
Is Sam excused because she was drunk. Is that mitigating circumstances? It just seems odd that it’s taken so long to be publicised and is heading for court. Surely a sincere apology would have sufficed. ..and pay for cleaning the taxi.
Apparently neither Chelsea FC nor Football Australia were informed of the event/charges by Sam or her management until it hit the news
