Ban for Justin Thomas?

[PNWokingham]

Why is the default setting false equivalence? It’s doesn’t make sense. It’s an offensive homophobic insult in any context

So he insulted himself. He should seek a lawyer!

I've said Anti Semitic things when i've shagged a drive miles O.O.B.

The problem is, I am Jewish. Haven't practised in about 14 years mind. Should I be punished? Am I anti Semitic, because I see red for a split second?

Yeah but I bet you went to look for it... ?

I take huge offence, those stereotypes have no place in society. What are you going to say next, I work for a bank!?!?!?








(for those that think I'm being serious, I work for a bank)

Maybe take a read of this and think about how this ‘lads, lads, lads’ culture might be legitimised if no apology/action was taken

I wish I had a quid for every unacceptable outburst/ comment I've uttered on the course or elsewhere

A ban, no chance. Sergio said far far worse, a racist insult that was actually aimed at a specific individual. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Tour didn't ban him, they are not going to ban Thomas for calling himself anything.

Ok true story please forgive any stereotypes but it was real.

1983 I worked for Barclays in a branch in South Bucks , Mr Goldstein a local Taylor banked with us and was a frequent visitor and was hilarious
Came to my till one day.
went like this.

“Hello Mr Goldstein, how are you today?
Hello Philip, I’m fine, but my wife she’s not so good

Oh sorry to hear that

Yes it’s her sinuses

Sign us this cheque, sign us that cheque
Oi vay “

The whole banking hall collapsed in laughter, Mr G took a bow and all was good

Gentle good humour has its place as do the characters of this world

But again there will be people that might find that offensive. As harmless as it is.

When I used to work at a gym a guy who suffers with parkinsons (one of the lads) asked for his protein drink and wallet from behind the counter. He got his pills out and started taking them. He looked at us and said "it's my parkinsons medication not steroids". The manager said "do you want me to put them in your SHAKE for you"
He and many others laughed out loud but a few others just walked away ?

 

[PJ87]

Should Thomas be banned for this?

The article talks about a fine being likely but what difference does that make to a multi millionaire?

For me, he's brought the game into disrepute. A ban for the next tournament would send a message that this won't be tolerated.

Wasn't aimed at anyone

Worshiped by so many and referred to as a nice guy

Rather sexist don’t you think, assuming she couldn’t sign her own cheques?
?I’m offended on behalf of all the strong independent women out there?

The question wasn't "will he get a ban", it was "should he get a ban".

No, he shouldn’t

 

[Canary_Yellow]

The thing is The 'N' word has never been used to explain or express anything other than the word it means. However, Justin's word was chosen in reference to a weak shot. I'm sure when he said it gay men was the last thing on his mind.
When I call someone a knob the last thing I'm thinking about is a penis

Whilst I agree regarding intent, it’s still part of an everyday, casual prejudice that society could do without.

JT is most likely guilty of ignorance more than anything else but it’s a more serious offence than a simple swear word. I do think a fine is the right punishment and I also think it’s right that he’s dragged over the coals a bit too.

There isn’t actually any justification for him using that word, even if there are some explanations.
