In Rugby League, You Can Bash A Fan. But Don’t You Say Anything Bad About The Queen
Caitlin Moran, a half back for the Newcastle Knights in the Women's NRL, posted her opinion on the Queen's death on Instagram. Ray Hadley called it reprehensible. The NRL punished her with a one-match ban and a fine equivalent to 25% of her salary. Moran is an Aboriginal woman. She is not the most repugnant thing connected to rugby league in recent weeks. Taylan May was allowed to play in final series despite being convicted of assaulting a teenage fan. He was suspended for two matches. It is about the game. No one cares about your political views.
