“We were invited to consider his ‘passionate and emotional reaction to what he perceived to be the disrespectful treatment of the black Springbok captain, should be understood in the context of a unique, extremely sensitive and very complex South African racial landscape’.
“We were invited to fine him. It was submitted that a suspension will ‘undoubtedly be harmful to the Springbok squad of players’. We also had appropriate regard to SARU’s submission that Rassie Erasmus should not be suspended.
……so my original perception that Harrassmiss was playing the race card is validated. And far from fighting his case like an innocent man would, Harrassmiss was okay with a fine.
It just keeps getting worse.
