Devils advocate,how is oompah loompah racist? So say for example it’s a female commentator (we have seen it many times in clubs,pubs etc where a lady is caked in orange foundation) and he called her a oompah lumpah. Is that a sackable offence too or have the PC brigade been on the case again? I fail to see the racism issue,oompah loompahs are little white men with orange faces and green hair,looks to me like some are desperate to find race in anything.

But Smith isn't white nor does he wear fake tan that's his natural skintone

[Scott1]

Didn't he say his tan? Maybe it's banter gone a bit far but why does everything have to be turned into race? Isn't their skin orange? I suppose you can find anything if you desperately look hard enough for it

On another note SA definitely joining the 6N apparently

But that's not a tan its skin tone and he said he shouldn't play because of it, like my post said earlier at best its sheer ignorance in which case why are the independent employing somebody who clearly knows so little about rugby or its racism and then he deserves the repercussions

Was it a live interview or was it vetted before it was aired/posted? He also said he shouldn't play because he's got hair like David Beckham,let's not forget that!

It was on a podcast, it somehow was published and then taken down and had that part edited out subsequently, you can still find the clip on twitter

So the editors have to be sacked too then obviously if we are going down this road? Anything that is due to go out publicly has to be scrutinised to the nth degree for obvious legal reasons.

I would say there is a fair argument to say the editors are pretty incompetent, whether that warrants a sacking is up the the Irish Independent

Please could we get this back on the topic - The Lions
Thanks

I think there's a difference between making fun of somebody's make-up and making fun of someone's natural skin colour!

Knew the snowflake would pipe up
Just joshing btw before anyone gets out their pram over it

Wyn Jones is out!! Sutherland starts ,Mako to bench. Massive loss!

[LE18]

Oh how sad to see poor Doddie, what a terrible disease, wish him all the best, so very very sad.

That's not good news, Sutherland was very poor scrummaging in that last match, I think I would have started Mako.

Mako is even worse tbf and he’s nowhere near as good around the field as he used to be. Oh how we could do with a player like Genge!
