Wow. Lets see how a game that "Stands against discrimination" deals with that shameful comment...

Yeh, bit stupid for sure, but slap on the wrist and an apology will suffice (Wire fan).

He obviously meant mongrel. I'm sure everyone knows that already and are just trying to make something out of nothing.

Well, you should probably tell him that then.

"Steve has since apologised, expressing his extreme regret and disappointment and corrected his remarks in his post-match press conference."

What did he say?

This.

But don’t let that get in the way of the pitchforks

Described a player as having 'mong strength' the professionally outraged will be outraged of course.

Surely that's a reference to 'Mongrel'?

Have to agree, people just seem to look anywhere to be outraged.

As apposed to some people being outraged that someone else might be outraged. You know the same people who get all offended that someone else might be offended.

You have pretty much proved his point to be fair.

Not really, people who go in about people being offended all the time are the easiest to take offensive at things. People that scream about cancel culture and Woke culture, you only have to say “ those comments and use of language are not acceptable anymore ” and watch their blood vessels bulge and steam come out of their ears.

Its more boredom of hearing people that love to take offence rather being offended myself.

I've never heard anyone refer to mongrels being strong? If you google mongrel strength there are no references anywhere. If you google mong strength it's a well established slang term for 'people not right in the head having unusual strength'. The club is committed to the PDRL and LDRL setup and whether that was the intended reference or not he needs to apologise for it the next time he's interviewed.

It's clearly not something you want someone in the sport saying and I'm amazed he actually said it. It's not a case for claims of political correctness gone mad. There may be an angle of a different meaning in Australia (Someone mentioned Coote and Buderus have used the phrase in the past and apologised as they said it), but like in the racism cases involved footballers, you should have the intelligence to realise it's still not something it's a good idea to say.

As for punishment, I think that's up to Warrington to deal with internally. In my opinion it's the kind of thing a retraction and apology covers publicly and a word in private stops it happening again.

Says the troll.

Mongrel strength? That reminds me of Phil Anselmo trying to say he was shouting 'white power' at a crowd in reference to wine



As someone with a disability, I'm not offended in the slightest, it's just further proof that RL is full of morons at all levels, which makes the game 'uninvestable' to most potential investors apart from bingo and mushy peas companies.

Haha and he did a Nazis salute.
