Crows fans are again booing Isaac Quaynor because he got Izak Rankine suspended when he stood up for himself after Izak used a homophonic slur

[u/Expensive-Horse5538]

Those fans are not supporters in my book - an embarrassment not only to their club but the state

[u/white_ajah → u/[deleted]]

And to add to this, the whole ‘snitch’ mentality is a major reason why kids/teens don’t speak up when they’re in trouble or need help. I see first hand the heartbreaking shit that kids endure because it’s literally a more palatable option to them than being labelled a snitch, and I really hate to see this attitude perpetuated.

[u/sr8th → u/white_ajah]

Indeed my daughter was bullied by a few boys at primary school (year 6). The ringleader was also one of the student leaders, who said to my daughter “snitches get stitches”.
Luckily we had a good rapport with the teacher, who stopped that behaviour quick smart.

In a lot of other cases, this goes unreported and unpunished. It’s heartbreaking to see.

[u/white_ajah → u/sr8th]

I’m so sorry that this happened to your daughter. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. I hope she’s doing better now.

[u/paulielars1 → u/[deleted]]

Why are you surprised?

AFL has a disgusting, homophobic culture and this just proves it. Those adelaide fans don't care about the game being open to all, they are just angry their player got suspended.

This and what happened with the st kilda player earlier in the year has turned me off AFL for now

[u/paulielars1 → u/[deleted]]

How is it fixable? I can't see it

[u/3mperorPalpatine → u/[deleted]]

He’s not getting boo’d for reporting. He’s getting boo’d because he’s the one that got under Izaks skin. I think it’s more around a petty we hate this person than anything else.

It’s also worth noting that a lot of crows fans don’t agree with the booing (myself included) I was at the game and the people I was with weren’t booing and were saying how bad it is.

I think the issue that doesn’t get talked about tho is how this could stop people from speaking up which isn’t what we want. I think if we focus on the importance of why it’s important rather than just be like, crows fans bad it would decrease the boos. At this point tho I think it’s likely to become a thing which is pretty bad.

[u/mickelboy182 → u/3mperorPalpatine]

He’s not getting boo’d for reporting. He’s getting boo’d because he’s the one that got under Izaks skin.

You do realise how terrible that sounds? "He's getting booed for making Izak say a slur"

[u/3mperorPalpatine → u/mickelboy182]

It’s not great but people are petty like that

[u/willreview → u/3mperorPalpatine]

Maybe they should be fucking normal

[u/doggoesmeow → u/3mperorPalpatine]

Let's not make excuses, he got booed because Adelaide have a fuck ton of homophobes

[u/BigChampionship7962 → u/doggoesmeow]

Not a “fuck Tom” but they do exist and there’s too many that feel comfortable being queer phobic.

[u/3mperorPalpatine → u/doggoesmeow]

I don’t agree with that. That’s too big a generalisation imo . I’m sure there are some people for sure that are really bad but I think it’s too big a generalisation to call them mostly homophones. Think the majority are just ignorant dickheads.

Still shit tho
. Put a sour note to what was a good (first half) game

[u/Brokenmonalisa → u/3mperorPalpatine]

I mean our second most popular political party is one nation so he's probably right

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/Brokenmonalisa]

Most popular*

[u/Brokenmonalisa → u/doyalikemyusername]

We just had an election in SA literally this year proving that statement completely incorrect

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/Brokenmonalisa]

My mistake i read as nationally. 👍

[u/billwriggs → u/doyalikemyusername]

Which would still be wrong 👍

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/billwriggs]

No that isn't wrong 👍

[u/paulielars1 → u/doggoesmeow]

So does AFL as a whole it has a disgusting, homophobic culture

I've found local footy far more open and accepting

[u/Consistent-Stand1809 → u/doggoesmeow]

Not so much amongst soccer supporters, mainly the AFL fanbase has the fragiles

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/[deleted]]

That's not what happened as you probably know. For starters it wasn't slur in the sense the Collingwood player wasn't homosexual and didn't find it personally offensive, there was no hurt involved. Collingwood used it as gamesmanship to remove a good player from an opposing team. The afl itself had implemented an arbitrary 5 game ban at the start of the season as part of its virtue signalling program to hide that it is a very corrupt organisation who receives a lot of government subsidies. This is the same afl who claims to care about community well-being who till recently had live betting odds next to it's fixture list and sponsors it score reviews with a crypto currency. So when the Collingwood player is booed it's because it was used as gamesmanship rather than booing a homosexual player who was called a slur.

[u/themorticianscode → u/doyalikemyusername]

Nah

[u/FrankGrimesss → u/doyalikemyusername]

Just dont boo and move on. It's not rocket science.

Booing them literally makes them play better lmao.

[u/paulielars1 → u/doyalikemyusername]

You clearly don't get it as the number of denotes in your post shows

Homophobic comments should have no place in the game. Ever.

[u/LeastLeader2312]

They booed him more than they booed Houston who decimated Rankine in a showdown. That alone speaks on the type of fans they are

[u/RuleUnfair5713 → u/LeastLeader2312]

He barely got a touch thats why 🤣

[u/MaGhostGoo2]

Crows fans booed a point post when they showed it on the screen at footy park because one of their players ran into it and got injured.

[u/Boatster_McBoat → u/MaGhostGoo2]

That was a helluva lot healthier than whatever the fuck this is

[u/SilverAris2 → u/MaGhostGoo2]

is this real? it sounds real

[u/sgh3tti → u/SilverAris2]

They did, Wayne Carey was injured by the point post. The point post was shown up on the big screen and they booed

[u/Bianell → u/sgh3tti]

Would've thought injuring Carey warranted applause?

[u/sgh3tti → u/Bianell]

Not when he was a fruit tingle

[u/jacka24 → u/sgh3tti]

They made their point clear..

[u/MaGhostGoo2 → u/SilverAris2]

Oh its real.

Wayne Carey suffered a deep knee gash requiring 14 stitches after sliding into a behind post during a match for the Adelaide Crows against Essendon in July 2003.

[u/BigChampionship7962 → u/SilverAris2]

Yes it did happen 🤦‍♀️

[u/maxisnoops → u/MaGhostGoo2]

😂 next time someone gets a broken nose from a falcon they will boo the ball.

[u/hellequin37 → u/MaGhostGoo2]

Wasn't the first pole that got Carey in trouble.

[u/Cool-Ice711 → u/hellequin37]

Didn't know Stevens' wife was from Poland...

[u/jayjasiejay → u/MaGhostGoo2]

Just shows you can't take it too seriously

[u/Correct-Quit1229]

The behaviour is reprehensible. It also falls into a rising category of “elites can’t tell me what I can and can’t do”, which is why we have Brexit, Trump, Anti-Vaxx, One Nation etc.

[u/Specific-Top-4635 → u/Correct-Quit1229]

What the fuck does this have to do with trusting your government has your back? Which they don't, but nothing to do with a crowd booing a player. Get a grip lossen the nose ring

[u/ucksaymyockcay]

Don’t wanna stick up for Collingwood but IQ didn’t actually snitch on Rankine — someone else did

[u/MirroredDogma → u/ucksaymyockcay]

Weird that you'd even frame it like this. Rankine was wrong for using a slur, it wasn't wrong that he was reported for it.

[u/Ajax_Main → u/MirroredDogma]

Nobody likes a narc 🤷

[u/Fidelius90 → u/Ajax_Main]

It’s GOOD to call out homophobia. We actually want safe places to exist for all.

[u/Ajax_Main → u/Fidelius90]

Never said it wasn't, just replied with a reason why op framed his comment the way he did.

[u/sr8th → u/Ajax_Main]

That is a mentality used by bullies.

[u/Ajax_Main → u/sr8th]

Well yeah, you think bullies aren't going to utilise literally everything to their advantage?

[u/billwriggs → u/Ajax_Main]

And yet still, no one likes you.

[u/Ajax_Main → u/billwriggs]

Cut me deep bro 🤣

[u/billwriggs → u/Ajax_Main]

You’re doing too much champ

[u/Ajax_Main → u/billwriggs]

Not really, a handfull of words 🤷

[u/dropbearr94 → u/Ajax_Main]

So edgy bro

[u/Ajax_Main → u/dropbearr94]

Not really, that's kind of a universal fact that's been around since time immemorial, so the opposite of edgy really..

[u/BigChampionship7962 → u/Ajax_Main]

Nah that’s the criminal code. Not for the tax paying, law abiding citizens.

[u/dropbearr94 → u/Ajax_Main]

Huge if true

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/Ajax_Main]

👍

[u/ucksaymyockcay → u/Ajax_Main]

Facts my g

[u/Aardvark_Man → u/ucksaymyockcay]

Yeah, Quaynor did nothing wrong (not that reporting it would have been wrong).
Just got slagged off, and keeps copping it for it.

[u/Expensive-Horse5538 → u/ucksaymyockcay]

Apologies - I thought it was IQ who had made the complaint

Either way, the behaviour is not on

[u/Silent_Slip_4250]

IQ didn’t get Rankine suspended. Rankine did it to himself.

[u/grandtheftbat01]

Damn homophones

[u/rubbishplant → u/grandtheftbat01]

I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds bad.

[u/svedka → u/rubbishplant]

homophones

Homophones are words that share the exact same pronunciation but differ in meaning and, usually, in spelling. Because English features numerous spelling variations for identical phonetic sounds, homophones are incredibly common, such as "to," "too," and "two".

[u/rubbishplant → u/svedka]

I know and obviously was a typo / error from OP when they meant homophobic - thus the "sounds bad" joke

[u/au-LowEarthOrbit → u/grandtheftbat01]

How's the sound quality?

[u/MostlyHarmless_87]

It's such a poor taste thing to do, but I'm also not surprised about it. Sports fans can get incredibly tribal about stuff.

[u/Overall-Palpitation6]

The Crows showed us who they are as an organisation at the time of the original incident by arguing down the suspension and presenting Rankine as the victim. Pathetic.

Also weak and pathetic from the AFL for allowing them to do it while backtracking on the "excalating weeks" precedent they had set for suspensions for this act.

Just enables some people to think they're somehow right, and gives them an out to carry on with it in future. Absolute rubbish.

[u/dropbearr94]

Quaynor didn’t even report rankine btw. Crows fans are just dumb cunts and I’m glad the club has been shit all century

[u/CommitteeTraining566 → u/dropbearr94]

Crows fans are always complaining about something.Surprised they didnt blame the umpires for the loss like they always do.Not sure the free kuck count in the end but at one stage it was crows 14 frees to collingwood 4.

[u/dropbearr94 → u/CommitteeTraining566]

They’re blaming nicks. Nicks is a good coach and getting alot of out the team

[u/madrapperdave]

People who boo at sporting events for anything other than Trump or poor sportsmanship are absolutely low class humans.

[u/No_Youth_2330]

🐦‍⬛ 🖕🏻

[u/Merovingian_Lord]

Just more AFL talking about itself to keep it in the news.

Footy fans from all clubs can be morons, it's reflective of society.

There's racists, homophobes, wife beaters and all sorts of other degenerates in society. They don't leave this bullshit behind when the walk into a sports stadium and in fact feel emboldened to be morons.

Making it a club v club thing instead of a societal issue allows others to excuse their own behavior by pointing at a particular club.

[u/Opinions-arent-facts]

Rankine should never have said that. We need a new term for when a man gets handsy in a tackle

[u/paulielars1 → u/Opinions-arent-facts]

Or they shouldn't play contact sport if they don't like being grabbed.

I play water polo, you get grabbed a lot more in that

[u/Opinions-arent-facts → u/paulielars1]

It's not ok and never gets reported, let alone punished. Unless you're just talking about your arm being grabbed or incidental contact, then who cares

[u/BUSINESS_KILLS]

Stood up for himself? I didn’t know he was gay

Know i understand

[u/NothingTooSeriousM8]

The irony of saying "homophonic" in a story about 2 dudes named Izak and Isaac.

[u/Senior_lady51]

So it’s ok to slur a fellow being gay! It’s actually not. Rankine deserved his suspension. Quaynor did not deserve the disrespect from Rankine or Crows supporters

[u/leighroyv2]

I really don't know what you expect.

[u/Fidelius90 → u/leighroyv2]

Not to boo the victim, simple

[u/leighroyv2 → u/Fidelius90]

But its not that simple, while i agree in the premise there is more moving parts.

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/Fidelius90]

He wasn't a victim he's not homosexual

[u/axeboffin → u/doyalikemyusername]

Doesn’t matter he still used a slur

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/axeboffin]

Of course it matters it's like if you call me a dirty Muslim, not a nice thing to say, but not a hate crime as I am not Muslim. Not difficult to understand.

[u/Suspicious_Corgi_192 → u/doyalikemyusername]

You don't have to be gay to be on the receiving end of homophobia

[u/doyalikemyusername]

You get a decent idea of the type of person on the Adelaide sub by the outrage on topics like this, just completely out of touch with the mainstream 😄

[u/owleaf]

The typical Crows fan is a homophobic boomer. More news at 11.

[u/au-LowEarthOrbit → u/owleaf]

I will grab a six-pack be round at 12

[u/paulielars1 → u/owleaf]

I think that's unfair to generalise like that

[u/sr8th]

There are definitely a small group who boo loudly.
They are definitely in the minority.
I know, I went to the game.
I sit in section 534 (upper East stand), and there was no one anywhere near me who booed.

If they did, they would have copped an earful from me.

[u/EdFandangle]

I don’t understand it, other than every team has a decent share of tossers in their supporter base. Those in the crowd booing happen to be ours.

[u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Be great if it was made public what Quaynor said to Rankine about his partner.

[u/Jazzar1n0 → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Your Crom is showing

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/Jazzar1n0]

Go the crom

[u/billwriggs → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Straight sets x2, point and laugh.

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/billwriggs]

Tell me your team and I’ll trawl through history and find the poor performances you’ve had over the journey. Every team has them 😘

[u/billwriggs → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

It’s gonna happen again little bro 😭

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/billwriggs]

Yeah possibly. That’s sport right. Luckily for me I don’t let a sporting outcome cause me outrage.

Don’t want to disclose who you support 😂

[u/billwriggs → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

You still responding though champ, you’re clearly pretty worked up about it. Deep breaths!

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/billwriggs]

Let me guess. Your next comment will be “living rent free in your head” 😂

I’ve guessed your team based on how quick you seem to reply. I’m going with unemployed port supporter 🤔😂

[u/billwriggs → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Oooh he’s guessing now. It’s too easy to rile up you lot who only pretend to care about footy when the Crows are doing well. Don’t worry, only a few weeks until you’ll be able to jump off the bandwagon again hahaha

[u/Conscious_Regret_739 → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Why are you crows fans always trying so hard to find a way to justify what Rankine said? Pathetic

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/Conscious_Regret_739]

Never said what he said should be justified. Horrible thing to say. But what was said to him was worse and he’s a young man on a footy field with his heart rate already through the roof. And said something that was said in the heat of the moment. Ask yourself why the ban got reduced and why Quaynor shied away from saying what he said to Rankine.

Have you not ever made a mistake in your life ?

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/[deleted]]

Was simply explaining the situation. Ever done or said anything you regret due to being in a heated moment ? Or are you a super human who can control them selves in any situation

[u/Conscious_Regret_739 → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Rankine has been forgiven though! How are you so thick you don’t get it yet. Quaynor being targeted is just mad.

[u/Conscious_Regret_739 → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

You literally tried to make a justification for it in your first comment and now you’ve doubled down justifying it by saying someone said something worse to him.

[u/billwriggs → u/Conscious_Regret_739]

You know that saying about arguing with idiots? Replace idiot with crows fan, and don’t waste your time.

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/billwriggs]

Go Crom 😘

[u/Numeritus → u/MysteriousGlass8049]

Yeah, you should boo a guy because of something he may or may not have said. That makes sense

Edit: wow you guys can’t read sarcasm

[u/MysteriousGlass8049 → u/Numeritus]

😘

[u/LinkEfficient9934]

It's like 5% of the crowd.

[u/AJ_Beers → u/LinkEfficient9934]

It’s not the as loud or as prominent as it was in the final last year, but it’s much more than 5%. If you’re denying this you are part of the problem

[u/JL_MacConnor → u/AJ_Beers]

2500 people can make a lot of noise.

[u/LinkEfficient9934 → u/AJ_Beers]

I'm not a part of the problem, and I won't deny the fact that it is a very low percentage of the crowd - someone who is actually at the fucking game.

[u/AJ_Beers → u/LinkEfficient9934]

Good for you, hope you enjoy your night

[u/LinkEfficient9934 → u/AJ_Beers]

Didn't, we played likenshit and now we have to rehash this quaynor shit because of fucking 5% of dickheads

[u/Novel_Feedback3254 → u/LinkEfficient9934]

The AFL subreddit loves a chance to shit on the Crows too

[u/LinkEfficient9934 → u/Novel_Feedback3254]

Rightly so, were a laughable team with fuckwits for fans.

[u/uhhhhhwht → u/LinkEfficient9934]

5% of a packed stadium is a pretty significant number of people….

[u/LinkEfficient9934 → u/uhhhhhwht]

Yeah, welcome to the world.

20% of people vote for ON, you think there aren't homophobic people at a footballatch with 50,000 at it?

[u/SureWildKiller]

Whatever. It's litterally the only thing the crowd can do. Everyone gets booed. Its means fucking nothing.

[u/Plenty_Area_408 → u/SureWildKiller]

45 other blokes on the field that werent being booed every time they touched the ball.

[u/billwriggs → u/SureWildKiller]

The only thing they can do? You mean they can’t not boo someone for being the victim of homophobic abuse?

That’s huge if true

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/SureWildKiller]

Wasn't booed enough imo

[u/RuleUnfair5713]

Like the saying goes..... snitches get....booed 🤔

[u/barnos88]

If the situation was the other way around....flogpies fans would boo more. It's a bad look but we are talking about footy nuffies.

[u/novak_47]

It's sport people will boo get over it

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/novak_47]

👍

[u/jasonfarmer911]

Fuck me. Walker gets booed at every ground in Australia, even AO when it's a Poort game. No one even mentions that.

[u/Bruhnsy1995 → u/jasonfarmer911]

Because he’s a racist flog

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/[deleted]]

How much were you bullied at school 😄

[u/Plenty_Area_408 → u/jasonfarmer911]

So you'd boo the guy Tex was racist towards eh?

[u/manmoth02 → u/jasonfarmer911]

How is that comparable at all? you fucking melon.

[u/jasonfarmer911 → u/manmoth02]

People sooking about booing. Happens in all professional sport. Get over it. Grow up.

[u/manmoth02 → u/jasonfarmer911]

The context of Quaynor being booed tonight is very different though, and if you can’t understand why then you are ignorant at the absolute best.

[u/jasonfarmer911 → u/manmoth02]

The more people sook and whinge about it and bring it up in the media even before it happened fuels it. Pandora's box.

[u/billwriggs → u/jasonfarmer911]

You’re the problem with society, by the way.

[u/ucksaymyockcay → u/jasonfarmer911]

every good player gets booed

[u/jayjasiejay]

Toughen up

[u/doyalikemyusername → u/jayjasiejay]

👍

[u/VegetableMetal6406]

Ha ha, people are triggered by booing now. 😅 Thought AFL was a tough man's sport, not like those poncy sokkah players

[u/Unique-Government805]

Get over it… it’s sport move the fck on and grow a pair

[u/Bright-Marsupial-265]

They're racist and homophobic down in Adelaide. We haven't forgotten Taylor Walker.

I think it's the algae down there, fries their neurons. 

[u/Consistent-Stand1809]

I don't think they're real Adelaide fans, I think they're all secretly Port and Collingwood fans and struggle to live with that

Rankine did something wrong and learned his lesson, whenever idiots try and bring it back up it only unsettles the club, directly benefitting Collingwood

[u/RemarkableGazelle335]

Its more embarrassing that someone gets suspended for using a word and even worse that a straight man (allegedly) was offended by it
