DekKonig

[sunsaint]

Not sure if this has been written about before but it seems that Carlton has not resigned ruck/forward DeKonig
Given our current situations with forwards and ruck He could fill two pairs of boots at the same time
I think he would be worth some decent contact money

As an aside konig is German for king

[King Max]

De Koning is a Dutch name. And he’s signed until the end of this year.

[Impatient Sainter]

I dont know how tight Carlton's salary cap is but if Gubby and SOS can pry him (De Koning) out of Carlton, they would make for some very happy people at the club.

Dutch hey?

Are you familiar with the origin of the Dutch race?

I believe it started when..

Wow! I hope you've had a thousand beers this arvo to say that. Am I missing something? Didn't you go all in on Curly for being racist a couple of months back?

Beers don’t excuse racist comments in public.
Pull your head in DB.
The vile comments are not appropriate, and do not belong here.

Report the post if you want to hold racism to account.

WTF?

[D.B.Cooper]

No beers, no excuse, obviously not funny but I cannot remove now it has been copied multiple times.

My Dutch father in law never found it funny either.

Happy to accept my punishment for writing this post.

[SaintPav]

Same old pathetic behaviour.

Anyway, Carlton’s salary cap must be tight one would think.

I hope we pounce because this lad is exactly what we need!

I didn’t suggest or make any excuse around alcohol consumption.

I wrote an inappropriate comment and will accept punishment from the moderators as they see fit.

I was referring to the previous post that mentioned the beers.
But I was not wanting to repeat the hateful comments, so I quoted your post, and edited out the line that was inappropriate.

You also stated in another post, your Dutch father in law also doesn’t find it funny. This shows you know better, but went ahead with it anyway. This is the worst way to behave yourself. Grow up. That is the way a child behaves.

Is the the racial term “sambo” an “inappropriate comment” as well?

This was a phrase you used a few months ago.

D.B I don't know what you were thinking. Racist and a reference to bestiality.

[Banger9798]

Bit out of character for DB, usually a very good contributor.
Sometimes a joke falls flat.

[SaintPav]

No.

Don’t excuse the odious and toxic behaviour.

It was was beyond pathetic.

There is no excuse.

Flat as a tack unfortunately.

Yes out of character but nevertheless well over the line.

I'm just saying, yellow card- don't give him the firing squad.

Yes Sambo can definitely be derogatory. It can refer to a person of African descent, a Native American or a European of mixed race.

Its also a martial art in Russia. Pretty cool.
Sambo is short for a very long Russian word that means, 'deadly self defense without weapons.'

The derogatory use of Sambo...and its etymology is hard to really trace, maybe Spain, Europe, Africa...who knows? It could be rooted in a Congo word that refers to 'monkey' or South American Spanish word 'bow-legged' but most likely an African term used by Africans as a derogatory term 'second son'...to shame African men born out of wedlock to African women from crusading Muslim warriors. People who arent trying to virtue signal accept this as the most accurate origin. However, today it just means any black person ( with a racist overtone)...so yeah, we avoid its use.

[diddley]

Can we all agree to put this behind us, and move back to the original discussion please.

Yes, I agree. Having either of the De Koning twins would be ideal. The hardest thing would be prying one out of their hands. They would be holding on as hard as we would be holding on to Max King if someone came knocking. They have a fairly high amount of talent and potential.

See. You don't need rules or penalties.
You don't need a conscience or even to be conscious of the notion that it isn't right to voice such things. You don't need to apologise or even contemplate that others feelings might be hurt.
We all understand who you are DB. Even you do.

But its ok, we tolerate you, because its the right thing to do and your ignorance is actually harmless in a tolerant world and only really shameful, for you.
Otherwise, you'd be banned permanently, which we'll save for next time and we'd let it harm you and cause you shame, and that would just be a waste of time and a good lesson in humility.

I have previously felt it would be appropriate for an apology to be made prior to having a ban for racism lifted.

Demonstrates education.
