he used it in the context of being a peaceful man. no reason for bringing it up ad nauseum.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
it is an element of his defence, it does not define him.
anthony miles is a devout christian but would that be mentioned and lampooned if he were up on the same charge? I highly doubt it Rosy.
the excitable chatter on this board is cringeworthy.

I like what the tribunal said in that AFL didn't object at the time when character reference was given so its relevant. Awesome!

Ablett and Gold Coast's so-called 'God Squad' are mocked constantly.
Geez, Ablett senior dobbed himself in and said God wouldn't let him live it down otherwise!

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
There's also an element of how comfortable someone is with differing religions and not finding the topic much different to who they support etc. Living in a region where there is a even balance between buddists, muslims and hindus, where christians are a minority, the subject of religion is definitely not taboo and often the source of humour when a group of friends from differing religions get together. It's all about tolerance and acceptance. When you've got that, religion isn't a taboo topic.

I think he's more pushing that it was relevant and admissible and not objected to at the time which means that it should not be a cause for changing the original decision.Barnzy said:

missing the point yet again.
a disproportionate percent of the commentary on Houli is based on his religion.
this factor is only a small part of tribunal proceedings (and what he represents) but within a predominantly white cultural forum (and media at large) it is positioned front and centre this week.
of course poking fun at religion shouldn't be taboo, but that doesn't explain it's presence on this thread.
you are defining Houli by his religiosity and it is as predictable as it is tiresome.

No different to e.g. commentary on Mason Cox hailing from the USA. It's a unique characteristic about someone we don't know much else about, so it gets repeated endlessly.

Getting away from footy but if that's become a deadly sin we may as well close up shop.
