The bigger picture is that this is in effect a show trial. As far as I know no-one has been charged under this offence and it seems very much a test case. At the end of the day Kerr did what some inebriated people do and thatā€™s to act like a goose.

She refused to pay for the cleanup of her vomit in the taxi and broke the windows when the driver locked the doors and called the police.

More than a few hurty words to a cop.

She did worse, she crossed the line into racism. Thatā€™s never acceptable. How can she captain the team after this?

Sheā€™s pathetic, should never captain again. But she will because she is the golden girl and the media will brush it under the carpet. And when all else fails she will play the race card to get sympathy

I will be surprised is she is found guilty of the race based charge, however, she will have trouble with the other charge/s. I still maintain this is a show trial.

As the trial goes deeper Kerrā€™s behaviours get worse. Zero responsibility on her part.

No responsibility for getting ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– 
No responsibility for spewing in the cab
No responsibility for refusing to pay clean up fees
No responsibility for damaging the cab
No responsibility for carrying on like a pork chop
No responsibility for being racist

Just acting like a privileged brat.

The stupid thing about this Sam Kerr stuff is that it all couldā€™ve been avoided if she apologised for spewing in the cab and cleaned up/paid the money to have the cab cleaned.

Iā€™ve gotten ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  and spewed in a cab before itā€™s not hard to drop a ā€œsorry mate, whatā€™s the damageā€

Thatā€™s seriously all she had to do, say sorry and ethier clean the mess herself or pay the money the cabbie was asking to clean (i think it was 50 bucks)

she cannot possibly be captain after this.

racism or not, sheā€™s acted the complete tit and shouldnā€™t;t be in that position. think of all the great momentum and energy the Matildas generated, this just ever so slightly tarnishes it. slightly.

Yep. Doing herself no favours. Throwing gender cards now too.

She knows shes ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  up and wont take any responsibility

A bit like John Persuto in Vic, poorly advised by her legal minds I think.

Coming across now as a self entitled, horrible nasty piece of work.

Itā€™s a masterclass in brand self destruction. And unnecessary.

If she was a white bloke in the AFL sheā€™d be stripped of captaincy and if found guilty, suspended for a decent stretch. Kerr however, sheā€™s untouchable becauseā€¦. Well, because. Hopefully if found guilty in thereā€™s sheā€™s stripped of captaincy and suspended to ensure standards are upheld, no matter the gender or race.

This bloke I think reads the room well. I think the landscape is shifting quickly and even the more progressive supporters are squirming at what sheā€™s been saying this week.

Hopefully this is dealt with asap. The Matildaā€™s need her doing what she does best, fit and firing on the field :+1:

Have her move in with Daniel and make a reality show out of it. Theyā€™re both filth.

I think she denies that.(not paying when offered)

They were both absolutely blotto.

Not something that should be in court. Far worse would be happening every day.

Me thinks itā€™s because sheā€™s famous. Stitch up

If you are going to be a public figure and enjoy all the extras that come with that- you are always going to be held responsible for your actions

What she said was pathetic and has no place in society

Maybe if this bloke was like the one white guy in Africa or I dunno a copper in Japan.

Maybe.

Even then itā€™s a stretch. The worldā€™s gone stupid.

Whoā€™s the person in the room sober and armed?

Get you hand off it
